Called To Be Different - 1 Peter 1:13-16 Part 1

Peter encourages us to live a life of courage by taking responsibility for our actions and to be different (holy). Our lives and attitudes are to be distinctively different because of our relationship to God through Jesus Christ.

Praying Boldly - Matthew 15:21-28

In Matthew 15:21-28 we are given an example of how to pray. These verses encourage us to come boldly, honestly and persistently to the Lord with our petitions, as seen through the prayer of a Canaanite woman, on behalf of her demon-possessed daughter. The Lord honored her prayer of faith and will honors ours, as we faithfully come asking Him to answer our petitions for His name sake.

Our Living Hope - 1 Peter 1:1-12

1 Peter is primarily a letter of hope and of second and third chances. In the midst of suffering and pain that attempts to derail us, Peter provides a letter of triumphant hope and faith.

God's Ordinary Hero People - Colossians 4:7-18

In the remaining verses of chapter four we are introduced to the fellow comrades, true friends, who fought alongside of Paul, assisting, encouraging, comforting and being there for him. They stayed with him through thick and thin, prayed for him and supported him. These were, "God's Ordinary Hero People", the kind of people, God wants us to be for each other.

What The Church Needs - Colossians 4:2-6

Paul says what the church needs now, just as much as the church of Colossae of his day needed, is God's people "praying". In order for the church to be the church He wants it to be, we need to be a church that prays. Devoted to prayer, watchful, knowing what to pray for and praying with thanksgiving.

What You Do Will Return To You - Colossians 3:18-4:1

In these remaining verses of Colossians chapter three, Paul high-lights three areas of your life where, "When Christ is your life," and the "peace of Christ is ruling in your heart," "what you do will return to you in a most favorable way." When Christ is our life, peace will be the the decisive factor in what we think and feel and the truth of His word will saturate everything we say and do.

Held Together By Love - Colossians 3:12-17

Genuine spirituality is found in having our lives transformed into the loving character of Christ. "Love never asks how much must I do, but how much can I do."

Life In The Risen Christ - Colossians 3:1-11

The Apostle Paul gives us some vital principles that will help us live life in the risen Christ, in order to win the spiritual battle within us. It requires our head and heart moving in the same direction. If not, there will be conflict.

Fully Forgiven And Free - Colossians 2:16-23

Christ has canceled and wiped out record of indebtedness and has disarmed evil powers. Therefore, as believers we have been set free to live in the freedom and fullness that He offers.
