A CHRISTIAN CHRISTMAS No Christian celebrates Christmas exactly the same. Our Christmas traditions and celebrations may be different, but the goal should be the same. That goal should be a focus on Christ. One way we do this is through Christmas traditions. 1 Peter 2:4-10 4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood,…
God tells us that sheep NEED a shepherd! They need a GOOD SHEPHERD! They are vulnerable and valuable livestock that need the protection and guidance of their shepherd.
We are also valuable in God’s eyes, and we are oh so vulnerable!
IT’S ALL ABOUT PERSPECTIVE! What happens when we look at a situation from the wrong perspective? What happens when we think we know all the details, to only later find out that we were missing some important information? What happens when we jump to conclusions without looking at the big picture? Nothing good happens when we have the wrong perspective on a situation, besides maybe learning a valuable lesson! But we do this all the time! WE TRY TO FIGURE…
Do you want to encourage a new Christian in their fellowship time with God? Reading the bible, bible studies, and prayer, can be daunting for seasoned Christians, so just image how hard it can be for new Christians! I would suggest…
But the Lord said, “You have had pity on the plant for which you have not labored, nor made it grow, which came up in a night and perished in a night. And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left—and much livestock?” JONAH 4:10-11 We can learn a lot from Jonah. We can relate to him more than…
Over the years marriage has changed, but I am not going to talk about those changes. Instead, lets talk about the biblical principles of marriage, because those have not changed. This year, my husband and I will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We were young in our faith when we got married, but we promised each other that we would keep God in the center of our marriage. As with anything in life, the longer you are apart of something…
What is love according to the bible and am I showing enough of it? I don’t believe that Christians think about this topic very often. This world would be so much better if everyone asked themselves these questions, and cared about the answer they received. We are called to show love to others, so this should be a goal for each of us. The verses in I Corinthians 13:4-7 will tell us if we are showing love to others, if…
We can’t leave God out of our lives, our choices, or our plans. This includes any New Year Resolutions that we might make. When we include God, we can be confident that whatever happens, God is with us.
The book of Obadiah is one of the smallest books of the Bible, and often overlooked. Just because it’s small doesn’t mean it is any less important than other books contained in God’s word. Today we will do a short overview of this small book, and touch on why it’s important to us today. If you are interested in doing a free bible study on the book of Obadiah, you can find it on our Short Bible Studies page. OVERVIEW…
