The Lord reigns
God’s people can live with complete confidence in our Lord’s complete authority over all things, His redemptive work which we are privileged to participate in, and His return as judge and king over all the world.
Walk this way
Paul points out to us that we should walk carefully because the days are evil, that understanding the Lord’s will for us will help us to walk on the right path, and that being filled with the Spirit will influence our walk of life in Christ.
Ministry done Jesus’ way
God has graciously given us the gift of faith so that we get to work. That work is to share the good news. Proclaim the gospel. Bring people to faith. We call usually call this work “ministry”.
Gather, grow, go
The disciples get a sneak peek before the rest of the believers receive the Spirit with tongues of fire fifty days later. It is that same Spirit whom we believe “calls, gathers, and enlightens the whole Christian church on earth,” even today.
Knowing the way
In John 14, Jesus is speaking to His disciples on the night of His betrayal. These words from Jesus are known as the ‘farewell discourse’ which is actually a very poor title. These words are focussed on arrival rather than farewell and it is not a discourse but a proclamation of the gospel.
The dreaded word… (Lk. 12:32–40)
From the technology we use every day to the rising house prices, we live in a very different society than we did 2, 10, 20, and 50 years ago.
Bigger barns (Lk. 12:13–21)
Greed is not simply the accumulation of things. It’s about the way we find safety and security in them. Individuals can certainly do that, but what about churches?
Healing division (Ep. 1:15–23)
The Christians in Ephesus had their own problems, the main one being division. Sound familiar? Despite our learnings and improvements, we still get tripped up by the same problems.
