Therefore

As we begin our new series, More Than Conquerors, we’ll journey through Romans 8 and discover what it means to live by the Spirit rather than by the law.

The Path of Discipleship

And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

The Path of Life

Protect me, God, for I take refuge in you. I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have nothing good besides you.”

Death is certain

Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.

Things We Don’t Know

As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother's womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.

Hey Fool!

The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.

Remember your Creator

Remember your Creator while you’re still young, Before the years take their toll and your vigour wanes,

Before your vision dims and the world blurs. And the winter years keep you close to the fire.

Weddings and Funerals

All share a common destiny-the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. As it is with the good man, so with the sinner; as it is with those who take oaths, so with those who are afraid to take them.

Death is an Evangelist

A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth. It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of every man; the living should take this to heart. 

And Peter

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

The Victory is in the V

“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me - I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.

Palm Sunday

After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.

Look Up, Listen Up, Shut Up

Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.

Salary of smoke

Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. 

This too is meaningless.

Truth will offend

A man can never be the same after hearing God's truth spoken in the power of the Holy Spirit; he will either obey and go forward, or ignore and die a little.

You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

Two are better than one

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!

Better Together

Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun: I saw the tears of the oppressed- and they have no comforter; power was on the side of their oppressors- and they have no comforter.

The big and small of time and place

There will be a time and there will be a place where God will bring justice and judgement to both the wicked and the righteous. Until then, we live in the knowledge that God is big and we are small.

Time

God’s purposes unfold at the intersection of place and time.

Time is for the Byrds

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build.

Hevel and Tov

All their days their work is grief and pain; even at night their minds do not rest. This too is meaningless. A person can do nothing better [TOV] than to eat and drink and find satisfaction [TOV] in their own toil. 

It’s not inside, It’s on top

A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God.

Utterly Meaningless!

“Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless." What does man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun? 

Plead, Pray, Petition

Lord, we have heard of Your fame; we stand in awe of Your awesome deeds. Now Lord, repeat them in our day, in our time make them known.

Building with Psalm 46

How do you plan to build in 2025? Have you given it any thought? Do you just plan to hit repeat and hope it’s better than last year? Psalm 46 gives us clear insight on how to build a year in the ways of God.

Mercy Christmas

God's abundant mercy and grace is the true essence of Christmas. It encouraged believers to reflect on the birth of Jesus as a testament to divine love and redemption.

Building Blamelessly

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
