2 Timothy 1:1-9 Paul took Timothy under his wing when Timothy was young, and they were partners in mission for the entire time they knew each other. Their faith in Christ created a deep relational bond between them. We see this same dynamic in the life of Jesus and His disciples. Likewise, the more we do life, faith, and mission together, the deeper our relationships form.
Acts 16: 22-33 Silas was a significant leader in the church, and he accompanied Paul on his second missionary journey. In Philippi they encountered an evil spirit, were slandered, arrested, flogged and imprisoned. But even through all of that, Silas and Paul help the jailer and his household come to faith. Silas went on to be listed as a co-author of some of the epistles as well as the bishop of…
Acts 15:36-41 John Mark was relationally connected to key members of the early church, but his first attempt to participate in the spread of the gospel ended in failure. This led to such a sharp dispute between Paul and Barnabas that they went separate ways. However, when Barnabas gave Mark a second chance, he became a faithful partner in the ministry to the point of writing one of the Gospels.
Acts 9:26-30 Barnabas was someone who believed in and encouraged Paul, even when others doubted him. Barnabas sought Paul out, advocated for him, and believed in him. But as Paul’s ministry continued, Barnabas was willing to let him take the lead. In our own lives we all have people like Barnabas that believe in us and encourage us as we try to live our lives for Jesus. But who are we called to do…
1 Samuel 28:5-20 As Saul continues to rely on himself rather than God, he allows fear to lead him astray. When the Philistine army set up camp at Shumen, Saul was filled with a fear that distorted his perspective and tempted him to compromise. When we give into fear rather than putting our hope in God and relying on him we too can be led astray by our fear..
1 Samuel 22:9-19 As King Saul’s obsession with killing David grew, it drove him further away from God. Upon learning that the priests of Nob had helped David - not knowing that the King was after him - King Saul was ruthless in killing the priests and all the residents of Nob. Unchecked anger only grows and becomes more violent.
Matthew 13:44-47 Brandon Craig from Operation Mobilization explores the parables of the hidden treasure, the priceless pearl, and the net and how they apply to global mission field.
1 Samuel 15:7-15 The Amalekites were a people whose animosity towards Israel began in Exodus. Because of this, King Saul was commanded to eliminate them as a threat. However, he disobeyed and spared King Agag (and probably others) as well as sheep and cattle. He did not do this out of mercy, but out of greed. His greed led him to disobey the Lord and then claim that he did what the Lord commanded…
1 Samuel 18:1-9 Theme: Jealousy - As David became more and more beloved and influential, King Saul became jealous of what he had. He lived into his own insecurities, lacked contentment with who he was, began listening to the outside noise of the world, and ended up losing sight of what mattered most. Rather than ruling the way God had called him to, he became obsessed with being Greater than…
1 Samuel 13:5-14 Theme: Impatience - 1 Samuel 13:1-14 (Didn’t wait for Samuel) We often like to work and live at our own pace and schedule, but God often works on his own timing. So what happens when we are impatient with God’s timing?... We make a fool of ourselves; we keep ourselves from living out the potential of who God has called us to be. In our passage King Saul was impatient with God’s…
