God’s Word for You – Colossians 1:19 The communication of attributes
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU COLOSSIANS 1:19 19 For in him God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell, Just exactly what was or is Jesus Christ? This seems to be the question from the Colossians that Paul is answering. We have already talked about his theme: The Glorious Christ, who is Head of the […]
God’s Word for You – Colossians 1:18 The head of the church
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU COLOSSIANS 1:18 We will meditate on some verses from Colossians for the next two weeks as we approach Good Friday. 18 He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that in everything he might be supreme. Paul’s letters to the […]
God’s Word for You – Obadiah 8 The wisdom of the wise
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU OBADIAH 8 8 “In that day,” declares the LORD, “will I not destroy the wise men of Edom, men of understanding in the mountains of Esau? The words that are parallel here are “wise men” and “men of understanding.” The first term is hokam (חָכָם), which can mean clever or skillful […]
God’s Word for You – Luke 8:24-25 We’re Drowning
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU LUKE 8:24-25 24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Teacher, Teacher, we’re drowning!” Perhaps with some irony, the word Luke uses for “woke” is diegeiro (διεγείρω), which is also a word used to describe the sea when it “wakes up” and becomes furious with high, rough waves. The disciples woke […]
God’s Word for You – Luke 8:22-23 Fellas, it’s been good t’know ya
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU LUKE 8:22-23 Before we embark with Luke into this familiar story, let me share a caution I give to our Sunday School teachers. This story reveals the power, majesty and omnipotence of Jesus Christ the Lord. We are often tempted to turn the story almost into a parable, where the storm […]
God’s Word for You – Luke 8:19-21 Jesus’ brothers
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU LUKE 8:19-21 19 Now Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him and were not able to get near him because of the crowd. 20 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.” 21 He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s […]
God’s Word for You – Luke 8:18 consider carefully how you listen
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU LUKE 8:18 18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.” I beg you to read this passage as yourself. By that I mean, don’t assume that Jesus our Lord is […]
God’s Word for You – Luke 8:16-17 Be a lamp and shine
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU LUKE 8:16-17 16 “No one lights a lamp and covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed. Instead, he puts it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, and nothing concealed […]
God’s Word for You – Obadiah 7 your allies will force you to the border
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU OBADIAH 7 7 All your allies will force you to the border; your friends will deceive and overpower you; They set out your bread under you as a trap, but you will not detect it. God has said that Edom will be devastated by its enemies. The natural thought is to […]
God’s Word for You – Luke 8:12-15 The four soils
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU LUKE 8:12-15 The Parable of the Sower is about how the gospel works, but in particular, how it’s received by each of us. That’s the key truth here. Jesus presents four kinds of soil. Each of the four soils, the Path, the Rocky, the Thorny, and the Good, represent human hearts, […]
God’s Word for You – Luke 8:4-11 The sower sows
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU LUKE 8:4-11 The Parable of the Sower 4 When a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable: What is a parable (παραβολή)? It is a comparison. The word means to throw something alongside another. In Hebrew, the word for teach […]
God’s Word for You – Luke 8:1-3 doing whatever was necessary
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU LUKE 8:1-3 In this chapter, Luke presents four of the Lord’s greatest miracles and one of his most important parables. In the middle of all this comes an attempt from the Lord’s mother to interfere with his ministry. 8 After this, Jesus traveled from place to place, going through cities and […]
