Works, Grace, and the Gospel
Before we launch into a study of the fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5:22-23, it is helpful to take a broader look at the book of Galatians and learn about the context of the passage.
Satisfied
When was the last time you felt truly satisfied, joyfully at rest in the knowledge that God is with you? Psalm 4 gives us a picture of the joy, peace, and hope we can have in the face of life’s difficulties.
Doing What We Can: Mary of Bethany’s Example to Christian Women
Jesus said of Mary of Bethany, “She hath done what she could.” You and I are each called to do what we can, and this week God stirred my heart with several aspects of serving God as a woman which Mary’s example puts on display.
Heavy Laden
Does life ever seem like a heavy load? God knows, cares, and offers us rest in exchange for our burdens.
My Refuge
It is easy to run to our close friends or family when faced with life’s difficulties or uncertainties, while forgetting that God Himself wants to be our refuge.
Why Study the Bible?
It’s barely a week into the new year, and in Christian circles, we hear a lot about Bible reading plans and doing our “devotions” or time with God. But truly studying God’s Word takes effort. Why do we do it? 2 Timothy 2:15 tells us just a few reasons why we should study the Bible.
Bereft, yet Blessed: Lessons from the Life of Anna
Anna’s part of the Christmas account is brief, but it puts an encouraging aspect of God’s character on display and points to the purpose behind the bleakest seasons of our lives.
The Beauty of the Manger
We tend to romanticize the first Christmas, but the birth of Christ would not have been glamorous or cozy or even very impressive. What is it that gives beauty to the manger scene?
Great Joy
The message of the angels was one of “great joy.” In the midst of this weary world, it is easy for us to miss the joy of Christmas.
