Introduction In the book of Colossians, we are reminded of how vulnerable we are to the subtle cultural influences that bend the truth about our identity in Christ and our mission/purpose in this present life. Colossae was a small market town in Asia Minor (modern Turkey), about 100 miles from Ephesus. Paul didn’t start this […]

“Life with God’s Purpose”
Did you know that God has a plan and purpose for your life? Listen to what He said to Jeremiah in chapter 1, verse 5: “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as My prophet to the nations.” (Those who […]
“Servant Leadership”
Do you have a servant’s heart? To such a person, no job is too small or beneath us — any way we can help is great! We realize we are here to serve. The person with a servant’s heart means not only put others’ needs ahead of our own but to serve with the right […]
“Experiencing God’s Faithfulness”
Elijah is one of my favorite Old Testament characters. We can learn so much about God, life, and ourselves as we read about him. In 1 Kings 17:1, he informed King Ahab that there would be no rain for several years, “except by my command.” That speaks of his confident relationship with God. The lack […]
“A Song of Joy”
Background: Scholars are not in agreement as to when and where David was when he wrote this Psalm. Some believe that it was at the dedication of his palace in Jerusalem, others at the dedication of the temple. In 2 Samuel 5:11 CSB, we read “King Hiram of Tyre sent envoys to David; he also […]

“Lessons We Learn from Failure”
Moses was born in a foreign country — the land of Egypt. He was born during a time when his people were pressed into unbelievable slavery. When he was born, there was a sentence of death hanging over his head. The Pharoah was concerned about how rapidly the Hebrew people were multiplying so he gave […]
“Christmas is a Time for Praise”
In Luke 1:5-7 NLT we read: In the days of King Herod of Judea, there was a priest of Abijah’s division named Zechariah. His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 Both were righteous in God’s sight, living without blame according to all the commands and requirements of the […]
“What Will Your Christmas Be Like?”
With all the hustle and bustle of the season, many people will be stressed out. The angel told the shepherds that Christ’s coming would bring “great joy…for all the people.” Are you experiencing the joy of the Lord as you prepare for Christmas? One writer put it like this – “People feel pressure and not […]
