Luke 10:25-37 New International Version (NIV)

On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

“What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”

He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”

“You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”

12/2/18 - The Cradle, the Cross and the Crown: Hope - Genesis 3:15 , Hebrews 6:19-20

Advent is a season of expectation. The word “advent” means “arrival”… and that’s what this season is all about. Remembering the hopeful expectation of God’s people for generation upon generation as they waited Jesus’ first advent, and remembering our own hopeful expectation as we await his second advent. This is a season marked by hope and waiting.

Scripture: Colossians 4:7-18

Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is a dear brother, a faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord. I am sending him to you for the express purpose that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts. He is coming with Onesimus, our faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. They will tell you everything that is happening here.

11/18/18 - Prayer in the Church - Colossians 4:2-6

There is no such thing as a small prayer. Short prayer? Yes. But small… not so much. Prayer is a “bending of the knee” before the Holy God of creation. It’s a declaration that He is the great and sovereign King, and we are his servants. But rather than being a terrifying and fear-filled thing, we have become, through faith in Jesus Christ, children of God. We should not approach God casually or flippantly, but neither do we come before him with fear and trembling – we come a children with a healthy reverence for their Father.
