  • Fan into Flames the Gift of God

    God invites us to join him in the work he is doing in the world. He equips us for good works by bestowing God-given talents, resources, and a heart to serve. Paul encouraged Timothy to “fan into flame the gift of God” (2 Timothy 1:6 ESV). What gifts has God entrusted you with? How can you use them for his glory?

    Ephesians 2:10 We aren’t saved by works, but we are saved for works. God invites us to join him in the work he is doing to repair the world.

    Matthew 25:13-30 Like the master in the parable, one day Jesus will return to rule the world. When he comes, he will reward or reprimand his servants based on what they did with the resources entrusted to them.

    Exodus 35:10, 30-35 and 1 Chronicles 15:22 God gave talent in art, music, or craftmanship to specific individuals so they could do work related to the Tabernacle. Throughout scripture, God entrusted people with God-given talents. God did this for a purpose − so they would be equipped for the work he called them to do.

    Psalm 37:4; Philippians 2:13 God helps us to do the work he calls us to do. Not only that, but he helps us to have the desire to do it. He changes our hearts and gives us the desire to do his will.

    1 Corinthians 12:4-20, 27-31 and 1 Peter 4:10-11 Christ has ascended into heaven. Metaphorically speaking, we are his hands and feet in the world today. We are the instruments he works through. We are each gifted with unique talents, entrusted with different resources, and blessed with different life experiences. Do not compare yourself to someone else. Each individual has his/her own role in the body of Christ.

    2 Corinthians 1:3-4 We comfort others with the comfort we received from God. God redeems our life experiences for his glory. What experiences have you gone through that God can use to bring deliverance, healing, and hope to another person going through the same thing?

    2 Timothy 1:6-7 Fan into flames the gift of God. Prayerfully consider what God may be calling you to do in this season.

  • Confident Expectations

    We want to join God in what He is doing in the world and not expect Him to join us in our plans. To participate in His work we must have an awareness of Him and expectations based upon His Words.

    • God is at work in the world.
    • Awareness of God’s presence
    • Expectation based upon His Words

      • Acts 1:4-5; Luke 24:49   Expectations based upon God’s Word

      Hebrews 10:36; Psalm 27:14; 62:5-6   Waiting is not passive.

      Acts 2:1-4, 37   As they were doing God-centered things

      Acts 3:1-12   They were looking to see where God was working, aware of His presence, and expecting results based upon His words. John 14:12-14; 15:26-27

      Acts 4:1-13, 18-21

      Matthew 10:19-20   Expectations based upon God’s Word

      Acts 5:16-42; Luke 6:22-23

      Dangerously placed expectations:

      • What people promise
      • Wrong doctrine, Romans 8:18
      • Self nonbiblical desires

        • Expectations that do not become a reality then diminish confidence and faith.

        Acts 10:1-20   God is at work in the world. Join Him in what He is doing, not the opposite.

        Build the habit of acknowledging the presences of God.

        God will enable you to do His work.

        Philippians 2:13

        Hebrews 13:5-6, 20-21

        Romans 8:31

        Psalm 118:6

      • Lydia of Thyatira

        Acts 16:1   Paul embarked on his second missionary journey from Antioch in Syria to Derbe and Lystra, travelling over land.

        Acts 16:6-8   As they travelled, God kept dissuading them from going to Asia Minor or Bithynia—places that were obvious choices for missionary work. Instead, they kept travelling. It took them 350 miles to get from Antioch in Pisidia to Troas.

        Acts 16:9-12   Sleeping on the west coast of the continent of Asia, Paul’s dream convinced him they should cross the Aegean Sea into Macedonia.

        Acts 16:13-15   Lydia was a merchant of purple cloth from Thyatira. After she believed in Christ, she invited Paul, Silas, Timothy, and probably Luke.

        Acts 16:16-24   Paul cast the spirit of a python out of a fortune-telling slave girl, resulting in the city government beating him and Silas with rods and throwing them in jail.

        Acts 16:40   After Paul and Silas had caused a riot, suffered a public beating, and spent a night in jail, Lydia still received them back into her house.

        Lydia and the Philippians sent Paul money twice while he was in Thessalonica (Phil 4:15-16), when he was in Corinth (2 Cor 11:9), and when he was imprisoned in Rome (Phil 4:18). Because of these gifts, Paul could focus on evangelism, teaching, and writing his epistles instead of making tents.

      • Filled With the Spirit

        People are “filled” with holy spirit when they believe in Jesus Christ and confess him as their Lord. But, a believer doesn’t receive only a portion or part of the spirit or even just most of the spirit—they are filled with the spirit to the fullest measure. There is no lack or deficiency. They are filled completely with the gift of the spirit.

        Acts 9:17

        Paul was “filled with the spirit” when Ananias laid hands on him, and he was delivered of his temporary blindness.

        Paul received the gift of the spirit here when Ananias laid hands on him, but there are other ways that the phrase “filled with the spirit” is used that involve a believer experiencing the power of the spirit in various ways.

        Acts 2:4

        Being filled with the spirit led to speaking in tongues on the day of Pentecost.

        Acts 4:8, 31

        Being filled with the spirit led to speaking boldly and proclaiming the good news.

        Acts 13:9, 52

        Being “filled with the spirit” led to condemning a “son of the devil” and denouncing his evil and wickedness. And being “filled with joy and the holy spirit” provided supernatural comfort and encouragement in the face of rejection.

        Ephesians 5:18

        Being filled with the spirit is accompanied by singing, praising, and giving thanks.

      • Salt and Light

        Acts 1:1-11   Jesus stated the mission and purpose of the church.

        Matthew 5-7   Jesus elaborated on how we become his witnesses.

        Matthew 5:13-16   The beatitudes prepare disciples to be salt and light.

        These beatitudes are intended to yield at least three significant outcomes: 1) glory to God, 2) blessedness (holiness and happiness) for the disciple, and 3) godly influence in the world.

        We are different – different from both religious and the nonreligious, from the Pharisees (Matthew 6:1-18) and the Gentiles (Matthew 6:24-34).

        Matthew 5:13   Salt was used as a preservative and a disinfectant.

        Prayers, visibility, and sharing are all part of being salt. We are different (but not separate) from the world.

        We are not to peacefully coexist and acquiesce to the world’s insanity. Christ’s disciples follow his example. He was continually out in the community modeling holiness, confronting evil, and speaking the truth.

        Salt represented qualities like loyalty, fidelity, commitment, purity, integrity, and protection. Leviticus 2:13; Numbers 18:19; Ezekiel 16:4; 2 Kings 2:20-22; and Judges 9:45

        Mark 9:50; Luke 14:33-35   The effect of Christians in and on society depends on our being distinct, not identical.

        Matthew 5:14-16   We are the lights of the world.

        John 8:12; 9:5   Jesus called himself the light of the world and light of life. We are the lights of the world because he lives in us.

        Ephesians 5:8-9; Philippians 2:15-16

      • My Hero

        Looking at various incidents in the life of Christ, we can appreciate how courageously and admirably he lived. Comparing him to heroes of old or those we laud in our own time, we see that Jesus comes out as the most impressive person to ever live. Thankfully, Jesus’ righteous life and heroic death were not the end, for God raised him from the dead!

        Mark 3:1-6   When he healed the man with the withered hand, Jesus courageously prioritized the hurting man over the risk to himself and the inevitable consequences.

        Matthew 4:1-11   When the devil tempted Jesus, again and again he heroically resisted the challenge to prove his identity as God’s Son.

        Mark 14:32-36   Before he was arrested, Jesus had to stay at Gethsemane, knowing the grisly fate that awaited him if he did not flee.

        Luke 22:54-62   Peter provides a contrast to Jesus’ heroism. Rather than fessing up, Peter repeatedly denies his association with Jesus.

        Mark 14:55-56, 62-64   When standing before the high priest, Jesus had to decide to own his identity as the Messiah or find a way out of his predicament. He boldly chose truth over safety.

        Seeing Jesus’ heroic acts, we are helped to appreciate how valuable the salvation was that he purchased for us with his blood. His death was no quick and clean matter, but a bloody, ugly, and protracted affair. However, when God raised him from the dead, everything changed, making it possible for all who trust in him to likewise leave the grave behind.

              • Commentaries

              • Fee & Stuart: “Jesus says, ‘…It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.’ You will sometimes hear it said that there was a gate in Jerusalem known as the “Needle’s Eye,” which camels could go through only by kneeling, and with great difficulty. The point of this “interpretation” is that a camel could in fact go through the “Needle’s Eye.” The trouble with this “exegesis,” however, is that it is simply not true. There never was such a gate in Jerusalem at any time in its history. The earliest known “evidence” for this idea is found in the eleventh century(!) in a commentary by a Greek churchman named Theophylact, who had the same difficulty with the text that many later readers do. After all, it is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, and that was precisely Jesus’ point. It is impossible for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom. It takes a miracle for a rich person to get saved…”1

                        Translation basics

                        • Fee & Stuart: “Your Bible, whatever translation you use, which is your beginning point, is in fact the end result of much scholarly work. Translators are regularly called upon to make choices regarding meanings, and their choices are going to affect how you”1

When the Greek or Hebrew has a prepositional phrase, so will the English…The goal of this translational theory is formal correspondence as much as possible.”2
                                                              • Ron Rhodes: “Formal equivalence translations can also be trusted not to mix too much commentary in with the text derived from the original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts. To clarify, while all translation entails some interpretation, formal equivalence translations keep to a minimum in intermingling interpretive additives into the text.  As one scholar put it, ‘An essentially literal translation operates on the premise that a translator is a steward of what someone else has written, not an editor and exegete who needs to explain or correct what someone else has written.’”3

                                                                • Dynamic equivalence translation philosophy

They use easy vocabulary and use simple substitutes for theological and cultural terminology.  They often convert culturally dependent figures of speech into easy, direct statements.  They seek to avoid ambiguity as well as biblical jargon in favor of a natural English style. Translators concentrate on transferring meaning rather than mere words from one language to another.”

                                                                          • Translations of the New Testament depend on the Greek critical text known as the Nestle Aland 28th edition (NA28).
                                                                          • Translations of the Old Testament depend on the Leningrad Codex, which is printed in the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS) and the partially complete Biblia Hebraica Quinta (BHQ). In addition, translators of the Old Testament are expected to look through the footnotes and commentary in these resources to judge readings from other sources.
                                                                          • Over generations, textual critics have developed strategies and computer tools to more closely approximate the original text. As a result, newer critical texts contain reconstructions of an older stage of the text.
                                                                          • Translation is the art of rendering a source text into a receptor language accurately.
                                                                          • Formal equivalence translations focus on transparency to the source text and a minimum of added interpretation.
                                                                          • Dynamic equivalence translations focus on readability in the receptor language. They seek clarity over ambiguity.
                                                                          • Formal equivalence translations are safer, because they leave it up to the reader to figure out what a text means. However, they can contain awkward English and be difficult to read.
                                                                          • Gender accuracy refers to the translation practice of including the feminine when a hypothetical singular masculine pronoun can refer to either sex or when masculine plurals include both genders.
                                                                          • Bias is intrinsic to translation, especially with reference to doctrines that are widely held by committee members.
                                                                          • The best way to expose and combat bias is to check translations from different thought camps. Although evangelical translations are better known, checking Jewish, mainline, Catholic, and unitarian translations provides a helpful corrective.

                                                                            Jesus entered Jerusalem triumphantly, eliciting widespread joy and praise from the people. However, within a short span of time, those very praises gave way to vehement cries of “Crucify Him, Crucify Him.” What precipitated such a profound and abrupt shift in sentiment?

                                                                            John 1:29 and 36   The next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”

                                                                            John looked at Jesus as He walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”

                                                                            Revelation 5:12-13   “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.”

                                                                            I heard…”To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.”

                                                                            1 Corinthians 5:7   For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

                                                                            John 12:1, 12   Entrance into Jerusalem was 5 days before his crucifixion.

                                                                            Within a four-day swing, they went from shouts of joy with “Hosanna!” to shouts of “Crucify him!”. What happened?

                                                                            13   “Hosanna” is Hebrew which literally means, “I beg you to save”. The Aramaic means “Save now; save, we pray”. “Save us now.” “Hosanna” is not a plead for eternal salvation as many assume; rather, the context indicates it is a cry to be saved from the tyrannical Roman government.

                                                                            Luke 19:29-40; Mark 11:1-11

                                                                            Matthew 27:23-32

Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Your will.

                                                                            In Luke 16, Jesus told two parables about generosity. In the first, a dishonest manager ingratiates himself to his boss’ debtors to gain favors after he’s fired. Surprisingly, Jesus says such shrewdness is an example to his disciples. The second parable has a rich man and a poor man whose fortunes switch in the afterlife. The second parable illustrates the shrewdness of the first. By giving generously to those in need, we are investing in our future with God.

                                                                            Luke 16:1-13   Jesus tells a story about a dishonest manager and then tells his disciples that this “shrewdness” is an example for them.

Even Jesus himself said the real Lazarus had fallen asleep when he was dead (John 11:11). Isaiah 14 and Luke 16 tell fictional tales about the consciousness of the dead to make other points unrelated to the intermediate state.

The living have everything we need to do what is right. Even if someone came back from the dead (which Jesus did later), many will not believe.
