Christ-centered living is not just a religious 'catch phrase.' Paul encourages the Ephesian church even while he himself is in prison, writing to them that he's been hearing about their faith and loving action. As he encourages them, he does so with Christ at the center. As he prays for them, Christ is central here too. And finally, he reminds them that their own identity as the body of Christ…
Can we really find hope in God's sovereignty? What about in seasons of extreme difficulty? Furthermore, is it right for us to think of ourselves as having a significant role in God's sovereign plan and purpose? When we understand sovereignty in a biblical way, we can live, not as passive pawns in a cosmic chess match, but as key partners in God's great purpose in the earth, sealed with the Spirit…
As Paul begins to dive into his letter to the Ephesians, he leads immediately into a 'big reveal' of God's plans from before the beginning of creation. We discover that the blessings we can enjoy today flow from our adoption as sons and daughters, and from God's eternal plans to reconcile all things under Christ.
What does it mean to be an apostolic church today? What does that look like? There are seven key elements that every local church should seek to embrace fully if we want to build according to the pattern of the apostles of Jesus as they sought to obey His commission to make disciples.
Imagine... What would it look like to be a part of a church family that's not only stable, but also prepared to multiply and to spread across the nations? What would this church family prioritize? How would they treat one another? How would they participate in the community around them? When we look at the priorities of the church in Acts 2 we are looking at a beautiful pattern, and even a mirror…
Jesus didn't die just to make us less sinful and so we would 'try to be better.' The gospel is so much more than this! Peace with God, total access to Him, hope, assurance of our salvation and confidence that flows from this, knowing that we will be glorified with Christ - these are realities that are ours in Christ Jesus! Because of Him, we have multiple reasons to celebrate!
Which is more holy: to quietly trust God's sovereignty, or to trust God and plan intentionally for the future? It's possible to err in the extremes of either direction, so let's learn from Jesus as He tells a story about about a man who entrusts ten of his servants with his own resources, instructing them, "Engage in business until I come back." Being wise with finances, and putting to work…
How did Peter the fisherman become Peter the faithful friend and church father? The answer is found in the faithfulness of Jesus. If ever there was a friend who sticks closer than a brother, Jesus is that friend. Peter, who had denied Jesus in His most vulnerable moment, is pursued and encouraged, transformed by the grace of God extended to him, and recommissioned by Jesus on a memorable day on…
Does God want us to be afraid or to be full of faith? The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 1:7), but far from life-long anxiety, this God kind of fear also brings a strong confidence (Proverbs 14:26). The day Peter met Jesus on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he went through the full spectrum of emotions. The fear he felt at first made him want to get away from Jesus, but…
