We study the failure of faith that escalated from fear of the Israelites going into the land of Canaan. God has not given us the spirit of fear, but he has given us the spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. We see the contrasting voice of faith from Caleb and Joshua and the […]

The Apostle Paul’s personal prayer requests for the church for him was for the increase of God’s kingdom – to pray for doors of utterance for the growth of the gospel. As Jesus affirmed in the model prayer, at the forefront of our prayers should be for the kingdom of God to come, and that […]

In the story of Cain and Abel, we see the first occurrence of the animosity, hatred, even pinnacling in murder of the wicked against the righteous. Abel’s great offense of Cain that led to his murder was simply righteous works that made Cain hate him. The wicked apart from the grace of God coming in […]

We see the early church fervently followed the commission of Jesus to be the house, the dwelling place of prayer. We see personal prayers all throughout the book of Acts, but we also see consistent prayer meetings as the church body. During times of waiting, uncertainty, fear, and persecution, the church turned to the Lord […]

We consider the example of Epaphras – very likely the pastor at Colossae who is commended for laboring fervently in prayer for the church. We need to labor fervently for others […]

We consider together the steadfast commitment of the early, original church and the kingdom in the breaking of bread – not just in the observance of communion, but in the consistent fellowship of inviting other brothers and sisters into their home to partake of supper and food. We need to pursue these “feasts of charity” […]

After the beauty of creation, we immediately see the attacks of that old serpent, the devil, in tempting Eve to sin. Satan sets his consistent pattern of deception in the garden of Eden to try to cast doubt for God’s people to doubt the authenticity and trustworthiness of God’s word. We need to reject these […]

I read recently that: “We pay too much attention to the footstool, and not enough attention to the throne.” That is so, so true. We pay so much attention to this problems of this world, the footstool, and don’t look up to God’s throne as we ought. Let us lift our gaze from the turmoil […]

The sword of Goliath was probably larger than a normal size man, and was a great reminder of the Lord’s faithfulness to deliver his people from their enemies by the Lord’s sword, not by man. Goliath’s sword should have been a memorial to embolden David’s faith to trust the Lord to protect him from Saul, […]
