In Isaiah 28-29, God calls out His own people. It isn’t easy to get called out by the Lord, but He loves us enough to do it. Apple: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/preach-the-word/id1449859151?mt=2 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2aSveQvIs7SPHWB4UcmSUQ

When Paul wrote to the Colossians about living the new Christian life at home, he addressed roles that were seemingly opposite of one another: wife/husband, child/father, slave/master. One thing is common among each of them: every relationship in the home is transformed by Jesus. Why? Because Jesus is Lord of all.

As Isaiah’s visions of the end-times continue, God is seen saving, protecting, and acting all on behalf of His people. In short, God is shown winning. As we have often said: we have read the end of the book, and we see that God wins! That is the God we should seek, and upon Whom […]

Earlier in Chapter 3, Paul exhorted the Colossians to take off the clothes of the old man (the old worldly ways), because we are now identified with Jesus in His new life. Since we have new clothes, given us by Jesus, we should wear them. Spiritually speaking, we should put on the suit of the […]

Legalism doesn’t keep us from old habits of the flesh; the love of Jesus does. We need a new vision, a new goal…and we have that in Christ. Jesus is our life, so let us look to Him and live for Him!

Would Ethiopia and Egypt face the judgment of God? Certainly. There is no doubt that they would experience God’s wrath that was due their sin. But that wasn’t the only thing that lay in store for them. The people also had a promise of God’s grace. There is no one beyond His reach. Trust in […]

As Paul concluded Chapter 2, he got to the main reason he wrote this letter in the first place: to warn the Colossians of the danger of legalism and superficial religion. He may never have met these Christians, but he loved them in the Lord. And he didn’t want them getting robbed of the liberty […]

As Isaiah’s prophecies continue against the neighbors and often-enemies of Judah, so does the emphasis of God’s sovereignty over every nation. Does God see His people? Of course…but God sees all people everywhere, determining the righteous judgment due each one. The question is: will we trust His judgment?

In Colossians 2:10, Paul wrote that the Colossians were complete in Christ. What was included in that completeness? Victory! Because we are identified with Christ – because we are forgiven by Christ – we have victory in Christ. Let us rest in His victory!

When Isaiah saw visions of God’s judgment upon Babylon, he learned that even Babylon was subject to God. Be it the Babylon that was barely a few generations away for Isaiah, or the Babylon that is still future for us today, or the spiritual power behind all “Babylons”…none are outside of God’s righteous judgment. God […]
