Romans 8:1-8 - Beyond a Manual

Romans 8:1-8 - Beyond a Manual

Send Tim a note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/fan_mail/new] Have you ever wished there was a manual for how to do life?  If you just thought, “there is one!  It’s called the Bible!”  you’d have a pretty good point. But… if you’ve ever come to the Scripture and thought things like “this is overwhelming” or “this is too high of a standard to live by” or “I keep trying and I keep failing” you’ve come across a very important truth.  This isn’t just a manual to live by, it’s the revelation of Jesus, the One that the Scriptures say changes everything when we put our trust in him. We’re in Romans 8:1-8, the part of the letter where Paul leads us out of confusion and turmoil and into life and freedom.

Genesis 23 - When Grief Gets Complicated

Send Tim a note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/fan_mail/new] If you’ve ever lost someone close to you, you know that grief has a life of its own.  If you’ve ever been an executor of a will, you know that the logistics of someone’s life can add complication to that grief. That’s the situation we find Abraham in, here in Genesis 23 after his wife, Sarah, has passed away. We also get to look into the dynamics of Ancient Near East transactions and how that impacted everything Abraham was going through at the time.

Matthew 8:1-4 You Don't Have to Have it Together (A Short Bible Study)

Send Tim a note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/fan_mail/new] Did you know that you don’t have to have it all together to get God’s attention?  Well, now you do.  It’s true, Jesus is worthy of our honor and respect and yet he constantly invites in people like you and me who are ill prepared, confused, but know that we need his restorative touch on our lives. We’re in Matthew 8:1-4, the part of the story when Jesus meets someone who probably missed out on his famous Sermon on the Mount but needed his healing touch.

Psalm 23 - Drinking from a Fire Hose? (A short Bible Reflection)

Send Tim a note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/fan_mail/new] The trouble with drinking out of a firehose is that most of the water makes mud. Of course, we use that phrase to compliment a teacher or book that is rich in content and sometimes we need that kind of learning experience.  If you’re anything like me, though, you do better with a teacher who understands your learning capacity and leads you accordingly.  We’ll reflect on that as well as what it means to have God’s correction be a source of comfort to us.

Joshua 11 - Understanding Joshua & Jesus

Send Tim a note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/fan_mail/new] If I could sum up the book of Joshua in 3 phrases it might sound something like this: Don’t be afraid.  Do everything the LORD commands you to do. The LORD will fight for you.  Those themes echo throughout the book. We’re in Joshua 11, the part of the story where Israel faces the armies of the North and we see those 3 themes in action.  Also, what’s the deal with hamstringing horses?  We’ll talk about that too.
