Sustaining Love

Christ reminds the Ephesians that he is in the midst of the seven churches and holding the seven stars in his right hand.  He is there both to comfort and to challenge them.  What does Christ want from the churches - from us?

The First And The Last

The book of Revelation may be the favorite portion of scripture for most cults and fringe groups. Why? Because it includes symbolic language and dramatic scenes. They feel free to twist these scriptures to fit their teachings.

How are we to understand the author's intent - the meaning that is built into the passage? How can we understand these things?

The Apocalypse

What do you think of when you hear the word "Apocalypse?"  The word has come to be associated with catastrophes or the "end of the world." But how is "Apocalypse" associated with the book of Revelation in the Bible. What is this all about?

Christian Family

What are we supposed to learn from ten verses of personal greetings at the end of the book of Colossians? How are we supposed to respond? What are we to do?

Steadfast

There are all kinds of situations in which we depend on other people to be there for us.  They've got our back, they are watching our six, they are holding the rope, they are standing guard... we hope.  Christians are part of a community in which we all depend on each other. It is important that we be steadfast.

Christian Living

Each of us has multiple roles in life - child, sibling, parent, spouse, employer or employee.  Having told us about the provision that God has made for our salvation through Jesus Christ, the author now applies these truths to our daily lives.  How do we handle authority?

Hide & Seek

We hear a lot about immigrants, refugees and aliens these days.  These are terms that could easily be applied to Christians living in the world today.  We don't quite fit in here - and that is as it should be.  Our citizenship is really in heaven and we need to keep that in mind.
