    How is Your Aim?

    June 7, 2017 No Comment

    Success!  Failure!  These words hold opposite ends of the measuring stick in our culture. Those around us who “drank the koolaid” are quick to attempt to place people at one end of the stick or the other based on they’re perceived success in this world. While struggles are a prerequisite to success however, most of […]

    Ephesians 2:11-21 (continued from Last week’s, In Ephesians 2:1-10) To set the stage for today’s study, it seems wise to ensure we all understand a couple of cultural contexts at play here. Paul is writing to gentiles (non-jews), who were culturally rejected by the jewish communities and the Hebrew faith and laws. Paul is referencing them as the […]

    The letter to the Ephesians is one of my favorite books in the New Testament. It is written to a flourishing church established in the greek city of Ephesus. This was perhaps the most important city in Asia Minor because of the fact that it had a harbor opening to an attached waterway giving access […]

  • Be Still in the Presence of the Lord, Why?

    May 10, 2017 1 comment

    “Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act.” Psalm 37:7a (NLT) (the KJV says “… rest in the Lord”) Why should we wait ?  Does our omnipotent God need more time to get things done? ( I think not) The waiting is for our benefit (Isaiah 40:31), not […]

    Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. This is a commonly quoted verse (among many) as directly spoken by Jesus in John 14:6. I would like to unpack this quote and see what deeper applications it contains and how these […]

    Psalm 150 (the start of worship)

    April 14, 2017 No Comment

    Psalm 150 is the very last one recorded in our bible. It begins with “Praise the Lord…” (Halal YHWH) and ends with “Let everything that has breath, praise the Lord”. Breath = 5972   [5397]   נְשָׁמָה, nᵉšāmāh, n.f.   [5971; 10494]. breath, blast of breath; by extension: life, life force, spirit. Easton’s Bible Commentary […]
