The Lamb of God
As sin would enter this world through the eating of the forbidden fruit hanging from a tree, it would be destroyed by the Son of God, the first fruit of heaven, hanging from a tree.
Pride
Pride creates a framework in a person’s mind where they are at the top. Their thoughts, feelings and desires are the most important thing in their life. Pride will catch you up in pagan worship just as in the days of old, except instead of a golden calf or carved image, the god you worship is you.
The One Who Satisfies
Often times we use Jesus as a means to things that we think will bring joy and satisfaction. We think that He will bring us good gifts that bring peace and joy, but nothing that He has in His hands will ever fulfill you if you first haven’t found fulfillment in His face. True joy, peace and satisfaction come from Him.
Stewardship
So what are we suppose to steward? Everything! Because everything we have is His not ours. In Colossians 1.16 the Bible says “All things were created through Him and for Him.” Everything in creation was made through Jesus AND for Jesus, it is all His!
Ephesians Chapter One
Welcome to this brief overview of the Book of Ephesians. This commentary comes directly from a six part preaching series where we took a closer look into this insightful book. What you will read will be some of the insight and revelation I have received while studying. This is by no means an exhaustive commentary but rather a way to understand the wholistic message that Paul was sending to the church at Ephesus.
Just Give Me Jesus
My desire as of late is a simple one.
As I read through the Bible and see how Adam and Eve walked with God as a friend, or read how God hid Moses in the cleft of the rock and passed him by allowing Moses to see Him.
How Daniel had a vision of The One who’s eyes blaze with fire and how Isaiah saw the Lord high and lifted up.
How David moved the Heart of God unlike any other and the disciples walked the Earth with the Lamb of God.
How John the revelator saw the Lord in all of His majesty.
This is the space I am creating or Him. I simply want to see Him.
Eyes on the Ball
It’s funny how you can look back at your younger self and learn so many life lessons.
