The Cottage

We @TheCottage explore how the ancient people of the Bible to whom God was speaking understood the Scriptures to show us how God was speaking to them yet communicating to them revelation for all of us even today even if in their context.  

In this episode, we continue our focus to return what God spoke to us back in January and revisit his desire for us as his children to seek him as fine silver and fine gold. The questions of life are difficult. What's even harder is how we choose to respond to our Lord's calling us closer to him when the world and the powers wish to separate us from God and one another. 

Here we continue in part 2 in exploring John 15's imagery of abiding in the vine.

We are laying the foundation to discovering the riches hidden in the ancient Scriptures of God's people to learn God's way of doing and being in our daily lives. Stay tuned for our future episodes as we continue to discover more mysteries of the Bible in the sessions that follow.

Here we explore Isa 30:21 among other passages to understand why we remain apart from God's love in this world when we should avail ourselves of it and spread it to others. Where is God when the world hurts? He's in us and desires to work through us to meet the hate with his love in a crucified life that gives what God always intended when the evil prevails.

In this episode, we continue reviewing our series in Joel 2 making all the tie-ins between Joel 2 and Acts 2 with tie-ins in the NT to understanding from the beginning how this paradigm we've been tracking will help us better understand what may be taking place in Gen 3:8 and unraveling some of the mystery behind the event we call the Fall. Many have wrapped so much of what they think it implied in the text with their later theology, that the biblical theology which would help one to better read the event gets overlooked. We return to what more likely is being expressed in this passage to give us a much better perspective in which to understand the biblical narrative as a whole rather than reading later thought back into the text, we take what more than likely would have been the author's point of view when the Lord had this initially recorded to convey to the people of that day itself. From their perspective, we can then begin to understand better what it means for us today. 

Here, we explore further the concepts from Gen 3 and what we did with Rom 5:12 to show how Christians can fellowship in God's intended rest in the now despite what we face until we experience its fulness in the final consumption of Christ's return in the Parousia.
