The Grace of Serving God's Way, Romans 12:1; 1 Peter 4:10
Paul exhorts believers to offer our bodies as living sacrifices to the Lord, that is, glorify the Lord in/with our bodies. Peter describes how we receive and use gift the Lord has given us for service. Paul goes on in Romans 12 to teach about our spiritual gifts. God so loved that Jesus has given us spiritual gifts, divinely selected by the Holy Spirit, that we may accomplish his work toward, in and through the body of Christ. What is your gift? Are you using it actively? Let's talk about it.

The Grace of Giving God's Way - 2 Corinthians 8:1-9; 9:6-11
Переглядів 7День тому
It's easy to get caught up in detail questions about how to give as Christians. God is secondarily concerned about the detail questions. I believe he's more interested in what I think of as giving as an organic response to the Lord. We'll look at "givers" in Scripture and consider their heart motivations. That's where it begins. David, the prostitute who anointed Jesus' feet with her hair, the ...
God So Loved that He Gave: Growing in the Grace of Living/Giving, 2 Corinthians 8:1-9
Переглядів 614 днів тому
Before He sent Jesus to and for us, God was already lovingly giving. He began with creation. He continued by sustaining creation. He continued with our relationship to creation. The right response is to give back, as we see in Abel, Abraham and many others. The first response is to give ourselves back to Him in faith. As the Macedonians first gave themselves to the Lord, and then to Paul, we al...
For All the Saints, Hebrews 12:1-3
Переглядів 321 день тому
The call to remember the faithful who have gone before us originates in the Old Testament, as the Lord holds up the example of faithful followers in order to encourage fresh faithfulness in his people. The great Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11 is in mind when chapter 12 exhorts us to take note and take seriously these faithful ones. Early in church history believers reflected on the lives of numero...
Every Member a Minister of God's Grace - 1 Peter 4:7-11

The end of all things is at hand, therefore...begin with the end in mind. Live with the fulfillment of God's plan in view. Keep living to bring God glory in Christ. This Reformation Sunday focus is the priesthood of the believer: each believer's freedom to serve God directly, especially through the use of the spiritual gifts he has given to us. Instead of waiting to be asked, ask first: Lord, w...
The Way to Well - Lamentations 3:19-26
Переглядів 8Місяць тому
Today's word is Faithfulness. As we depend and rest on the faithfulness of others a sense of being well can develop in our hearts. As we depend on the faithfulness of God he builds what is well in our hearts. From being well, even in the midst of life like Jeremiah's experience, our best service comes. Let's talk about it.
An Unshakable Life in Shakable Times, Hebrews 12:25-29
Переглядів 5Місяць тому
William Barclay wrote: all things may pass away; the world as we know it may be uprooted; life as we experience it may come to an end; but one thing stands eternally sure - the relationship of the Christian to God the Father through Jesus Christ. Recent days have seen a lot of uprooting. It's life-giving to know our lives can be based on the things that are unshakable. Let's talk about it.
Forbearance - the Beauty of Patience in Action, Ephesians 4:1-3
Переглядів 7Місяць тому
Ephesians 4:1-3 is a secret sauce of the Christian life, and in that sauce, forbearance is a key seasoning. Bearing with, making allowances, showing tolerance, accepting and receiving others - who annoy, frustrate, bother, upset - not from sin but differences. Bear with others as Jesus has had forbearance with you. Let's talk about it.
A Time for Silence, selected Scriptures
Переглядів 1Місяць тому
In this boistrously noisy world, silence is a gift from the Lord. It is not just the subtraction of or ceasing from noise, but an adding of grace and replenishment of our souls as we redirect our attention to Christ and listen for his voice.
Clothe Yourself with Patience, Colossians 3:5-15

Patience, endurance, constancy, steadfastness, perseverance, forbearance, longsuffering - part of the wonderful biblical vocabulary of patience. God's character. Jesus' character. The character Christ intends to produce in us. Let's talk about it.
Walk Worthy in Patience
Переглядів 302 місяці тому
Next in our study of Paul's foundation of Christian living: patience. "Slow to anger", longsuffering, perseveriing, enduring, steadfast, patient. All these words describe Jesus. So all these words are to become us. Today we consider "slow to anger", the primary expression of God's patience, so we can know what the Lord intends to develop in us. Let's talk about it.
I Still Believe in the Church, Matthew 16
Переглядів 62 місяці тому
In an age in which the word "church" is complicated, or loved, or perhaps hated, it is good to go back to the beginning, to foundations, to Jesus, who said, "I will build my church.." Jesus had a plan, no matter how successfully or not we follow it. Believe in the church as Jesus planned. And see what He can do. Let's' talk about it.
The Wisdom of Being Gentle, James 3:13ff
Переглядів 83 місяці тому
Some have called this an age of rage. Some talk about "rage-baiting," a method to provoke people to anger, and have them click a post, and sometimes rise up to oppose a person or a company. Jesus was no stranger to rage, but his methods were nothing like the things people do today. "I am gentle and humble in heart," he says. Even on walk to Calvary. Even on the cross. How do we as Christ-follow...
Practicing Gentleness, Ephesians 4:1-3
Переглядів 173 місяці тому
This week we pick up in Ephesians 4:2, and the second great aspect of the Christian Life: Gentleness. When added to humility it puts our Christian life on a whole new footing, one the world desperately needs to see. This week we'll focus on what this gentleness is and how we observe it in Jesus. Next time we'll apply it to various life situations in which we find ourselves. How do we live gentl...
Practicing Humility
Переглядів 54 місяці тому
The foundation of how we live in Christ is our humility before the Lord, as we think of ourselves and as we relate to one another. In fact, the more we know the Lord, the more humble we grow, as Job said: I had only heard about you [the Lord] before, but now I have seen you with my eyes. I take back everything I had said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance. (Job 42:5-6) Job humbl...
