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.

Romans 7:7-25 - Wrestling With Your Faith Is A Good Thing!

Send Tim a note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/fan_mail/new] What if I told you that you don’t have to have it all together?  In fact, until we recognize our own angst and wrestle with living out our faith including our frustrations and shortcomings, we’re likely minimizing the power of the Spirit and of grace in our lives. We’re in Romans 7:7-25, the part of the letter where Paul shares his own struggles in the pursuit of Christlike spirituality.

Genesis 22 - What's Your One Thing? (A short Bible Study)

Send Tim a note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/fan_mail/new] I’ve had the privilege of being present when people have committed their lives to Jesus, either for the first time or in renewal.  In some cases, they express something a lot like, “Jesus, everything I have and am is Yours.”  Honestly, it’s quite moving and in my experience, it’s been sincere.  A moment of surrender, though, gets tested through the course of life.  Sincerity meets reality when Jesus says, “thank you for trusting me with everything, now I want you to give me THIS thing.” And we realize that maybe we hadn’t quite thought of that. We’re in Genesis 22, the part of the story when Abraham’s faith is forced to move from concept to concrete. Go ahead and open up your copy of the Scriptures and we’ll dive into this together.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/support] For a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website! https://meetmeintheword.com/ [https://meetmeintheword.com/] Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below. https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel [https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel]

Send Tim a note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/fan_mail/new] How are you using what you know? It is important for us to learn and take in knowledge but it’s more important that we act on the knowledge we already have. We’re in Matthew 7:13-29, the closing sections of the Sermon on the Mount when Jesus called his listeners to use discernment and put his teachings into practice.  How can you know if a teacher is pulling you the wrong direction? How do you build a faith that endures?  Answers to these questions and more in today’s episode.
