#227 Colossian Intro and Thanksgiving

1:1-8. Looking at the beginning of Colossians we discover the purpose of identity, prayer and the gospel in a believer's life. How that impacts their spiritual wisdom, knowledge and understanding, and walking in a way worthy of the Lord.

#226 Colossians Introduction

We will begin to walk through the book of Colossians over the next few months. Today gave a little background and a read through as we focused on the heart of Paul being communicated to the early church. 

#225 From Judgement to Blessing

Finishing up the book of Zephaniah sees the movement go from judgement to blessing for those in Judah. The plea for them to seek him still stands, but judgement is coming, followed by a period of restoration and blessing.

#224 Seek Him

Today we look at Zephaniah 2 in order to see the response to the indifference, the idolatry, and the paganism that was plaguing the Judeans. With a sense of urgency before the coming judgements, he pleads with the people to seek the Lord, righteousness and humility.

#223 Zephaniah 1

Looking at the coming judgment and the day of the Lord upon Judah showed similarities to our own cultures that we need to be mindful about. 

#222 Habakkuk’s Prayer

What does it mean to fear God and have a perspective that lives by faith? Habakkuk gives us a framework of worship amid struggle and pain. 

#221 Habakkuk’s Second Complaint

Habakkuk's second complaint asks why the Lord does not intervene; and the Lord's response is to wait. Our hope and trust must be rooted in the Sovereign Lord

#220 Habakkuk’s First Complaint

Beginning the book of Habakkuk, we discuss the history and the purpose behind his complaint compared to our own complaining and grumbling. Many times we have our interests in mind. Habakkuk has God's.

#219 The Empty Tomb

Resurrection Sunday, we celebrate the empty tomb by looking at John 20 and how Jesus meets the disciples in their grief, fear and doubt to give them comfort, strength and truth. We apply this to our own walks as we look at our struggles to see where Jesus meets us. 

#218 Palm Tree Christians

Today we look at the importance of a palm tree and why they would be waving those branches for when Jesus entered Jerusalem. When you understand its importance, you can compare the palm tree to a Christian to see how they are similar.
