Hoping Together

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

Colossians 1:27 KJV (27)  To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: It’s interesting how being a parent can provide a totally different perspective on how maybe God sees us and the reasons why He [...]

Greater Grace

Sunday, December 7th, 2008

Romans 5:20-21 (20)  But Law came in besides, that the deviation might abound. But where sin abounded, grace much more abounded, (21)  that as sin ruled in death, so also grace might rule through righteousness to everlasting life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. There is this notion that is trying to take over our society– [...]

Yoked

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

Matthew 11:28-30 KJV (28)  Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (29)  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. (30)  For my yoke is easy, and my [...]

Precious Seed

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Psalms 126:5-6 KJV (5)  They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. (6)  He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. So what makes this seed so precious? You would think that any seed put in the ground would just produce. That’s [...]

Discovery

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV (17) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. To be in a place where all things are new is to be in a place of discovery. Just to step through the door and come upon the [...]

Hope’s Blindness

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

Ephesians 1:18 KJV (18)  The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, There is this direct relationship between sight and hope. Where there is blindness to the provision and possibilities in Christ [...]

Fit

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

2 Thessalonians 1:11 MSG (11) Because we know that this extraordinary day is just ahead, we pray for you all the time–pray that our God will make you fit for what he’s called you to be, pray that he’ll fill your good ideas and acts of faith with his own energy so that it all [...]

Soil’s Condition

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Mark 4:20 ASV (20)  And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold. There is something precious about the soil that is ready to bear fruit. It has been prepared long before the seed is placed [...]

Overflowing Hope

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

Romans 5:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him,(in believing) so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.(NIV) Hope happens. It’s not something to seek after itself, but it’s more of an inevitable indicator that something else is being [...]

The Mix

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

Genesis 41:15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, and no one can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.” 16 “I cannot do it,” Joseph replied to Pharaoh, “but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.” There is a [...]
