#247 Advent of Joy

Luke 1:46-48; 2:10-11

Today we look at how joy comes from salvation and how it is important for us to walk in that joy to express the thanksgiving that comes from the salvation given by the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.

#246 Advent of Peace

Today we take a survey of the scriptures to see how God is the Author, Agent and advocate of peace. Our thanksgiving to God is necessary because he sent Jesus to make restitution for our sins, and bring us peace through his reconciliation. 

#245 Advent of Hope

Romans 15:1-13 The advent season brings a knowledge of hope for us in Christ Jesus. In our conflicts and disagreements, we often times are relying on ourselves and we need to live in harmony glorifying the father.

@244 Thankfulness

Psalm 100  Today we explore the heart attitude of thankfulness in everything. We are thankful for the fact that the Lord is God and he is worthy of our praise.

#243 New Self and Perseverance

Jude 17-23. Today we look at how the new self impacts our perseverance in trials, and hardships dealing with our faith. Jude calls us to remember, to be on guard against the false prophets, and then a litany of imperatives for the day to day building up of our faith.

#242 The New Self and Reconciliation

Philemon - Today we continue to look at the New self and the impact that Christ has in our lives. We discuss the issues found in the letter to Philemon to show the importance of the gospel message and how reconciliation is such a huge understanding for us to consider.

#241 The New Self and the Church

4:7-21 We finish up the letter to the Colossians as we see the team of support around Paul and the ministry of the gospel. It is so important to understand the impact that we have as a greater team for the Lord. Whether we are doing so locally, regionally or globally. 

#240 New Self and Unbelievers

4:2-6  Today we look at how the new self should impact how we approach unbelievers. We should be in prayer for opportunities to share the gospel message in a clear way. Emphasizing how we are to walk in a worthy way and having our speech seasoned with salt.

#239 The New Self and Employment

Col. 3:22-4:1 Today we look at how the New Self is supposed to change our perspective towards the work that we do. Even as Paul addressed half of the world's population which in under servitude, we can abide by principle of working heartily unto the Lord in all that we do. 

#238 New Self and the Family Unit

Col. 3:18-21 Today we talk about the family unit and how the new self should impact the relationships within our families. God gives roles and authorities for a reason, and for all of the interactions, we are to understand how the grace of God impacts the communication and engagements with one another.
