God Will Finish the Work He Started
God Will Finish the Work He Started Philippians 1:3-7 No matter what you do for a living, there is a higher purpose for your life. No matter what you do for work, God is at work in you and through you. You may have a career, but God has a calling. These are not contradictory paths but complementary ones. Today the Apostle Paul will remind us that we are in a family business. We are in a partnership with God…

The Path We Travel
The Path We TravelNumbers 22:31-35 Have you ever asked yourself, “How in the world did I end up here?”The answer could be found on the path that you have traveled. Thepathway principle simply means that the direction determinesdestination. Where you end up in life depends on the path you arewalking rather than your intentions, wishes, or desires. If you drivenorth from Atlanta, you will not end up in Florida—no matter how muchyou wish, hope or intend to go there. Balaam…
Making Room for More
Making Room for More Acts 2:37-47 According to Acts 2:42-46, when the New Testament church gathered – they learned – they worshiped – they found purpose and they connected. That’s wonderful, but that is not a complete picture. Acts 2:47 completes the picture: “And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.” Without that verse, we would get the wrong impression. Without this verse we might think that the early church was just…
How To Let Go Of The Past
How to Let Go of the Past Isaiah 43:14-25 Sometimes it feels like no matter how much we want to move forward, the past still whispers in our ear: “Remember what you did?” or “You’ll never change.” God said, “Forget the former things. Do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing.” In Isaiah 43, God predicts the rise and the fall of the Babylonian Empire. God used them to discipline His people, but then the…
It Didn’t Have To Happen Like This
It Didn’t Have to Happen Like This Jeremiah 39:4-8 In Jeremiah 39 we discover one of the most tragic chapters in all of Jeremiah. The prophet Jeremiah has warned about the very circumstance that has now come to pass: if the Jewish people do not turn from their rebellion and turn back to God, the consequences will be that the Babylonian army will come and besiege the city of Jerusalem and destroy it. But what happens to Zedekiah, king of…
I Can Only Imagine
“I Can Only Imagine” 1 Chronicles 29:18 1 Chronicles 29 is King David’s prayer asking God to keep the people faithful and devoted. In that prayer David asks God to “keep this forever in the (imagination) intent of the thoughts of the heart of Your people.” God is the Creator and He created us with imaginations. Albert Einstein said, “Your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.” We use our imaginations every moment of every day. Webster Dictionary defines…

God’s Perfect Patience
1 Timothy 1:12-17
His Grace Is Sufficient – His Power Is Perfected
“His Grace is Sufficient – His Power is Perfected” 2 Corinthians 12:1–10 This section of the Bible is the summit of Paul’s defense of his apostleship and his love for the Christians at Corinth. Paul’s reluctance is expressed in the opening words of this chapter: I must go on boasting. Though there is nothing to be gained by it. Paul would rather write about Jesus, but the worldly thinking that made the Corinthian Christians think little of Paul also made them think…
