Believing in Jesus
What does it mean to "Believe in Jesus?" As a culture and pften as a Church we have often cheapened this idea of "believing in Jesus" and made it nothingmore than an acknowledgement of some facts about Him. Though belief is the prerequisite of salvation and it is by faith alone through grace alone that we are saved, faith is more than just acknowledging of the facts of who Jesus is and what He has done. It is trusting Him to provide what He has promised.

The Ministry of John the Baptist
The most important work that we can do as Christians is to communicate the message of the Gospel clearly to the culture at large. This involves living before the world as ambassadors of Christ, but an ambassador who never speaks is really no ambassador at all. We are commanded to "Preach the Gospel to every creature." that means we need to know what we are commanded to proclaim. Leaving either of these out leaves us with an incomplete massage.

Of His Fullness We Have All Received
What happens when God, the Creator, Life Giver and Teacher or Light Giver enters into His creation? He is here to express His mind to us, "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us!" God has indeed expressed His mind to us in the God/Man, Jesus Christ. What can we learn about the mind of God by looking closer at Christ?

God the Word
There many ways to know about God. Creation tells us that He exists and the He has creative power and logically must be "other" than His creation. Romans 1:20 says just this; "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse," We need a greater and more precise knowledge to actually "know" God rather than just know about Him. God has expressed Himself in such a way and that is what John's introduction to his Gospel is all about!

Grace in the Garden
The Grace of God is revealed in the creation and the original order of it; how God created man, where He placed him and His companionship with him. The best part is that even when man blew it by eating of the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, God still showed him grace. How much grace has God shown to you?

By the Grace of God
How amazing is God that He would descend from Heaven and suffer for the sins of His rebellious people? Giving kindness where wrath is due and taking the penalty for their sins upon Himself He extends mercy to all who repent and trust in His works rather than their own!

Praising God for His Faithfulness
It is always good to reflect on God's goodness and be thankful. His Mercy and Care are hallmarks of His character and meditating on them helps us to be truly thankful!

Trusting God
What is faith? It is more that believing in God, it is taking Him at His Word, believing Him. WE need not only to believe in God, but to trust Him, knowing that He is faithful and will do what He has promised.

Redemption
What does it mean to be "redeemed?" We are Christ's purchased possession and it is amazing, the circumstances that surround that transaction!

Sufferings of Christ, Suffering for the Church
In Colossians 1:24-2:10 Paul begins to speak of his ministry to the Church at Colosse. Here Paul says, "I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church," (Colossians 1:24). The text deals with at least one reason why we as Christians should not only be willing to suffer, but glad to, for the benefit of others, so that they can see our faith in and the importance of the message of the Gospel. * What are you willing to suffer for? * Are we as Christians called to suffer or is God supposed to make our lives easier because we have believed in Jesus? * What exactly does Paul mean when he says that he is going to, "fill up in [his] flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ"
