Expository Devotionals

As a redeemed and reconciled child of God, Christ will present you holy and blameless and above reproach before the Father. But there is an important stipulation we must keep in mind regarding this promise!

When Christ died on the cross in obedience to His Father, he fulfilled the required sacrifice for sins once and for all, and reconciled us eternally to the Father.

When we consider the astonishing stability of even a single atom, we see that it is none other than Christ holding it together by his awesome power. He is the force that keeps the Universe from flying apart.

Today we examine the amazing relationship of God the Father and Christ the Son as they worked together in perfect harmony to create everything in heaven and earth.

If anyone claims that Jesus Christ was only human, or simply a teacher or even a prophet sent by God, yet not truly divine in nature, our passage today crushes that argument.

When we walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, the Holy Spirit strengthens us with the power of God to endure tribulation and significant suffering for Christ with patience in joy.

It's tempting to keep our prayers focused on earthly matters, but we should also be asking for spiritual wisdom and understanding, with a firm belief that God will give it abundantly.

Every Christian, and especially those in church leadership, must be a faithful servant to all, as modeled by Epaphras in Colossae.
