35:39

Romans 15:14, 1 Thessalonians 5:12-14, 1 Cor. 4:14, Acts 20:31 We are called to instruct/admonish one another when we see another believer getting off track in their life or faith.

33:17

Galatians 5:13 and Mark 10:35-45 We are called to serve one another in love. Serving others is a way to put our love for one another into practice in concrete ways in this world. Serving others is also the model that Jesus set for us, and at the very heart of who he was. Having a servant's heart is one of the greatest attributes we can have in God'…

Honor and be Humble with One Another 33:04

1M ago33:04

33:04

"Honor and be Humble with One Another" Romans 12:10, I Peter 5:5 and Philippines 2:1-11, Matthew 23:12. Scripture calls to honor one another, which means to put others above ourselves, and to humble ourselves means to put ourselves below or behind others. Jesus is our best example of both of these things, and we also see from Him that, in the end, …

Members of One Another 42:19

2M ago42:19

42:19

"Members of One Another" Romans 12:3-8 and Matthew 12:46-50 Christianity is not a solo quest, nor is it something we do together with no responsibility to one another. Scripture says that we are "members of one another," which means we share a deep spiritual bond and commitment to one another in Christ. _____________________________________________…

Love and Forgive One Another 30:49

30:49

"Love and Forgive One Another" John 13:34-35 and Colossians 3:13 To begin this series, we'll look at the two "one another" statements that are most fundamental to our life together in community, the call to love and forgive one another, and note how they both flow from our relationship with Jesus. ___________________________________________________…

28:25

“Worship vs Ritual” Matthew 15:8, Isaiah 29:13, Psalm 29:1-2, John 9:39 When we’re just going through the motion spiritually, our worship degenerates into an empty ritual because our desire is not for God, so our hearts are not in it. It’s about worshipping Jesus. _____________________________________________________ Going Through the Motions (Tent…

36:00

“Conformed vs Transformed” Romans 12:2 Mark 1:16-20, Romans 8:29 When we’re just going through the motions spiritually, we inevitably begin to conform to the patterns of this world rather than seeking to be transformed and conformed more and more into the likeness of Christ. It’s about becoming like Jesus. “Good Deeds vs. Serving Jesus” James 2:14-…

“Living for Self vs. Living for Jesus” James 4:13-15, Psalm 24:1-2, Romans 12:1, 1 Thessalonians 2:4 When we’re just going through the motions spiritually, we begin to believe we belong to ourselves and live for ourselves rather than remembering that we belong to God and seek to live for Him.

Religion vs. Faith 29:04

29:04

Religion vs. Faith Matthew 13:15, 15:8, Hebrews 11:1-3, 6, John 6:68-69 When we’re just going through the motions spiritually, we can easily slip into religion in the worst sense of the word, which simply means doing religious stuff rather than seeking to have vibrant and alive faith in Jesus. It’s about believing in Jesus. ________________________…

One Crazy Farmer 25:37

25:37

One Crazy Farmer Mark 4:1-9 and Ephesians 17-18 In this parable from Mark, Jesus tells about a farmer who sows seed in some strange places where it’s unlikely to grow, but the seed that does grow produces an amazing yield. The point is that God reaches out to everyone, and those who respond experience amazing transformation, which the Ephesian pass…

Remember 34:40

3M ago34:40

34:40

Remember Esther 9:20 - 10:3 As God's people are saved, they respond with a celebration, the Jewish festival of Purim. It's a celebration of looking backward and remembering but also moving forward. All the stories of deliverance in the Bible, including Esther, foreshadow the ultimate deliverance of God's people through the salvation we have in Jesu…

Saved 36:20

36:20

"Saved" Esther 9:1-19 In another stunning reversal, the decree of life is carried out. People marked for death are spared and given a new lease of life. This reversal feels harsh to us, but it would have been seen as equal justice in the time. And yet this event foreshadows a much greater reversal, one in which life also came out of death—the Cross…

A Decree of Life 38:56

4M ago38:56

38:56

"A Decree of Life" Esther 8:1-17 God's providence leads to another reversal. An irrevocable decree that brought death to the Jews had been given, but now a counter degree bringing life. In the same way, a decree of death stands against us for our sin that can't be revoked, but the counter decree of the gospel has been issued, bringing life. When we…

Justice of a Sort 35:46

4M ago35:46

35:46

"Justice of a Sort" Esther 7:1-10 God provides another amazing reversal; justice is served, and Hamman meets the fate that he had set for Mordecai. The death of a substitute satisfied the King's wrath. With Mordecai and Haman, it was the guilty dying in the place of the innocent; with Jesus and us, it is the innocent dying in the place of the guilt…

The Man the King Delights to Honor 35:56

4M ago35:56

35:56

"The Man the King Delights to Honor" Esther 6:1-14 God's providence leads to a great reversal; Mordecai is honored instead of Hamman. This is really no surprise since scripture says that God "opposes the proud and shows favor to the humble." Both Hamman and Mordecai were servants of the King, but Mordecai had the humble heart of a servant, so he wa…

Approaching the King 34:13

5M ago34:13

34:13

"Approaching the King" Esther 5:1-14 In this passage, we have contrasting characters. Esther approaches the king by faith and with humility. Haman has an approach, too; his is one of foolish pride in his accomplishments. With God, it's never about accomplishment; it's always about relationships. Do we know and belong to Him? _______________________…

"Seize the Moment" Esther 4:1-17 God will accomplish His purposes. The question is whether He'll do so through or in spite of us. In this passage, Mordechai and Esther's faith comes to life, and they begin to follow God's lead. No matter where we find ourselves, we can be confident that God can use us for his purposes. God's providence leads Esther…

Where is God? 35:19

35:19

“Where is God?” Esther 1:1-22 It may seem to us at times that God is absent when, in fact, He is present behind the scenes. God used one person standing up for what was right, exposing the frailty of this worldly kingdom and creating the opportunity for his plan to unfold. God's power and providence mean we always have hope, not least of which is f…
