Colossians #6
Colossians #6
It isn’t a matter of whether we will face battles in our relationships, battles in our mind, battles physically or battles spiritually. We will! The question is how will you fight those battles when they come? Often, what we are going through isn’t as important as why we are going through it, and when we understand the “why” it can help shift our perspective, which precedes peace in the storm.
Colossians #2
Colossians #2
What if you’re not stuck in your career, in your marriage, in your social life? What if God has an assignment for you while you go through this season of life? Perspective is everything and the apostle Paul knew that what he saw happening around him wasn’t what would define him or change the new perspective God had given him. So, are you stuck or are you stationed?
Colossians #1
Colossians #1
There was a problem in Colossae that Paul saw looming on the horizon. The young christians were in danger of compromising the simple gospel of Jesus Christ, bending to the pressures of the culture of the day. The book of Colossians is 4 chapters and 95 verses. It is the shortest of Paul’s letters, but it packs one of the biggest punches. In this opening to the book we discover when it was written, who the people of Colossae were and why Paul probably wrote the book. We also take a look at the importance of how Paul introduces himself to the Colossians in chapter 1:1.
Your Closest Friend
Your Closest Friend
Have you ever thought of the Holy Spirit as your friend? The Bible says that we have a friend that is closer than a brother but all too often we struggle to experience the close relationship, even friendship of the Holy Spirit. So, how can you experience the friendship of the Holy Spirit in new and deeper ways?
Fruit Is The Evidence
Fruit Is The Evidence
All too often when we talk about the Holy Spirit we talk about the gifts He gives but rarely do we talk about the fruit of the Sprit. Sometimes it can be easy to overly desire the external “evidence” of the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit and at the same time neglect our need to see growth in our character, but the bible says that it is the fruit of the Spirit that is the evidence of His work in our lives, not the gifts.
The Holy Spirit And Baptism
The Holy Spirit And Baptism
The bible talks about 3 primary baptisms, baptism into the body of Christ, water baptism and baptism with the Holy Spirit. We know from scripture that the Holy Spirit baptized us into Christ, the disciple baptizes in water but what does it mean to be baptized with the Holy Spirit?

When the bible talks about being led by the Holy Spirit, what does it mean? How can we know if it is the Holy Spirit leading us? Taking a look at the Old Testament, we can see some ways that they Holy Spirit led the Israelites and find clues for how He still leads us today.
