To the Table

Welcome back To the Table. We are finishing the last few verses of Colossians today, but those verses are jam-packed full of truth. We’re chatting about suffering, stewardship, mystery, and so much more. It may seem that this message was so specifically for the Colossians, but I’m grateful that Paul includes all these details in his letter. I love that Paul shares some of his “why” with them because it sets an example for us too. Salvation is the first step, a really important one for sure, but there’s so much more. A relationship with Jesus changes you. It changes everything. We hope that studying these 28 verses over the last few weeks has helped you grow closer to Him, and in the process, helped you point others to the true source of our hope.

Tara Leigh Coble’s prayer for studying the Word:

1. God, give me wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.
2. God, let any knowledge I gain serve to help me love You and others more, andnot puff me up.
3. God, help me see something new about You I've never seen before.
4. God, correct any lies I believe about You or anything I misunderstand.
5. God, direct my steps according to Your Word.

1 Corinthians 9: 16-18 - For if I preach the gospel, thatgives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward, but if not of my own will, I am still entrusted with a stewardship. What then is my reward? That in my preaching I may present the gospel free of charge so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel. Matthew 28:19-20 - Go therefore and make disciplesof all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Colossians 4:12 - Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant ofChrist Jesus, greets you, always struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.

Welcome back To the Table. We are back in Colossians, reading more of Paul’s letter to the church at Colossae. Today is really focused on Jesus. He is before all things, created all things, and holds all things together. He is reconciling or restoring all things to himself. Because of the cross, we can go from separated, hateful, evil beings, to holy, blameless, and beyond criticism before him. There’s a lot of good stuff here, and we’re just beginning to scratch the surface. I hope this encourages you as you tackle whatever it is that awaits you this week.

Welcome back To the Table. Today is the first episode of us chatting about Colossians. This is a short book of the Bible, but it is packed full of encouragement for us. It was written by Paul, an apostle, as a letter to the church at Colossae.  There’s a lot in this letter and we did our best to point out just a few things we can take away from these verses. The best thing about the Word is you could read these verses with us now and see something new. If you go back and read it again next year, you’ll see new things then too. It is living & active, remember 😉 It all begins with Jesus. It’s all about Him. After we’re saved, we continue to grow and learn more about him from the Word – that’s why we’re doing this. Let’s all grow and learn together 🤍

Welcome back To the Table. I’m so excited to share this episode with you! My dear friend Ashley Lawrence joins us to talk about the Word. I think I can speak for all of us – this is a topic we are passionate about. From my own personal experience, I can tell you that being in the Word, studying the Bible, it’s changed me, changed my life. But at the same time, it has nothing to do with me. It’s the Holy Spirit giving me a desire to read it and helping me hide it in my heart, bringing it to memory when I need it. You’ll hear us share how we haven’t always done it perfectly, we haven’t always made it a priority, and we don’t have it all figured out either. But we’re learning, we’re growing, and the Holy Spirit continues to show us more and more of who Jesus is and the life he calls us to. It makes a difference. It’s really that important. So, with that, come join us as we talk all about the Word, living and active.

Welcome back To the Table. We’ve spent a lot of time talking about love, but we couldn’t finish this month of love without talking about loving others. At the end of the day, we all need the love of Jesus to be able to truly love others the way we are called to. Sometimes, it is so easy. Other times it is so hard. What about "tough" love? How have you been loved well lately? How have you loved those around you? We decided (actually, mid-conversation) that the easiest way to talk about loving others is to share how we’ve been loved well. So, with that being said, get ready for plenty of practical ways to share the love of Jesus with those around you – in both big, extravagant ways and small, everyday gestures.

1 John 4:7-8 – Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Becoming a Woman Who Loves by Cynthia Heald - https://a.co/d/ftYtpZc

John 15:4 – Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.

1 Corinthians 13:1-7 – If I speak in the tongues of men andof angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Luke 6:32-33 - If you love those who love you, what benefitis that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

Welcome back To the Table. In today’s conversation, we’re chatting about engagement and dating. There are so many nuggets of wisdom, sprinkled throughout this episode, that are helpful to anyone in any season, not just those who are looking for “the one”. I get to share a little bit about how Justin and I came to be, and how the Lord, in his perfect timing, brought us together. Every single time, the Lord’s timing and plans for me, have always SO far exceeded my own plans, dreams, desires, etc. I don’t always (well, hardly ever, honestly) enjoy the waiting, but I believe He does have good plans for those who seek after him. This God - His way is perfect (Ps. 18:30)

Welcome back To the Table. We’ve mentioned Hebrews 10:23-25 several times now – it could probably be our theme verse for the podcast at this point. But, for a moment, sit in what Paul is encouraging believers to do: “consider how to stir up one another to love and good deeds”, “not neglecting to meet together”, “encouraging one another”. It is hard to truly live out the call in these verses, without sharing life with others – not just the really put together things in life, but the not so put together pieces too. In this conversation, we’re talking about what it looks like to be honest in community, surrounding yourself with women in different seasons, so that we all walk together, leaning on each other and encouraging each other along.

Show Notes🗒️

Hebrews 10:23-25 – Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Psalm 34:13 – Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.

James 3:7-8 – For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

Titus 2:3-5 – Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 – But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Philippians 4:8 – Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Ephesians 4:14-16 – so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

Welcome back To the Table.

What are you waiting for? Are you in a season of waiting? If so, trust me, I’m right there with you. It’s not a good time. Today, we’re answering the “waiting” questions. I’ve heard all my life to “wait on the Lord”. What does that really mean? How does my perspective change when I consider that He’s right there with me? In the midst of the waiting, He is right there to strengthen me, comfort me, and give me His peace. We hope you leave this conversation encouraged. No promises that it will be fun or even comfortable. But, He has promised to be there, to use all the things – the good, the bad, and the ugly – and to strengthen you. And He who promised is faithful (Heb. 10:23).

Psalm 139:1-6 – O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.  You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.

Matthew 1:23 – “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).

Ps. 130:5-6 – I will wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for morning.

Lamentations 3:25-26 – The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.

Isaiah 40:27-31 – Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord, and my right is disregarded by my God?” Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
