Thus I Am to Be Remembered
God wants his people to remember him both by his name and what he has done on their behalf.
The Spiritual Disciplines of a Good Servant
Paul is encouraging Timothy to be a good servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. This does not happen automatically. He is told to exercise himself to godliness. We all understand what it takes to be physically fit, but this passage tells us about spiritual fitness. This text acquaints us with seven factors associated with spiritual fitness.
#6 - Naming the Power of Addiction
Not By Chance But By His Fatherly Hand, Part 6: Naming the Power of Addiction. There are well over 25 million addicts in America. On average every addict hurts the lives of at least four people, which means that well over 100 million people in our society are impacted by the devastating results of addiction and are in search of hope and healing. Addiction by one definition is “to cause to become physiologically or psychologically dependent on a habit-forming substance.” Addiction by another definition is “to occupy oneself or involve oneself in something habitually or compulsively.” From alcohol to opioids to gambling and pornography, the power of addiction can threaten the life of almost anyone. While there is no one verse or chapter in the Bible on addiction, in Luke 4 Jesus is revealed as the one who faces temptation, defeats the devil, forgives sin, and comes as God with us to set every prisoner free, including the addict. So we address this topic looking to Jesus and the Spirit of God to make us aware, to cause us to lament our addictions, and to commit to healing and care in Christ’s name.
Exodus Part I - Presence and Deliverance
Where is God when things get tough? Right there with you. See the oppression of God's people by the Egyptians through a different lens in this message.
Freedom in Christ
There's freedom from... and freedom to... but the most important is freedom for... That's the freedom found in Jesus Christ.
The Call for a Decision
The book ends with God speaking, reminding the people what He has done (v. 2-13). God reminds the people of his faithfulness with expressions like “I gave” and “I did”. Then Joshua calls for a decision (v. 14-15). Whom will you serve? The Israelites and we also have to respond to God’s invitation.
Delivered
Waaaaay back in Genesis 12, God made a promise to a man named Abraham, promising to make him "...a great nation...and in [him] all the families of the earth shall be blessed." Hundreds of years later, God still remembered this promise and kept it by delivering the Israelites (Abraham's descendants) out of slavery in Egypt. Today, thousands of years later, we remember that God still keeps His promises, and that we are delivered according to His purposes, too!
