Inside: When we become those people who understand what we have been forgiven of and the cost of that forgiveness. It is then that we will become thankful to the Lord for all He has done for us in and through Jesus. I have been camping in Colossians, working through it inductively for quite a while now, and there is so much to pull from this rich book. Being reminded of all the riches we have in Christ is a sweet reminder to give thanks to the Lord in and through all things. So many ... continue reading...
Six Thought Patterns of a Christian Mind (Philippians 4:8)
Inside: The sin in our lives begins in our thoughts—or as the bible calls it, "the heart" (Mark 7:20-23). We don't sin without it first starting in our minds. We're walking through Philippians 4:8 together to see how to replace sinful, wrong thinking by instead thinking thoughts that are God-honoring. Spiritual stability is a result of how a person thinks.

Matthew 6:1-4:"Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have ... continue reading...
EP 122: Love Your Enemies (Matthew 5:43-48 – Sermon on the Mount Series)
Our God has created us in His image and this image is stamped on every human being whether they are a child of God or not. But now as those who have come to be known by God through repentance of our sins and faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone for our salvation—we are now called to live in such a way as to mirror and reflect the character of God. We are to be imitators of Jesus who is God incarnate. And we are to reflect his image to a lost and dying world. And one way we do that is by ... continue reading...
