Hope for the Doubter

In this article, we’ll reflect on “hope for the doubter.” Before delving into it, I would encourage you first to take a look at what we’ve studied previously:   Hope for the weary Hope for the broken   The foundation for our reflection through this article comes out of Jeremiah 29:11-13, For I know the […]

Hope for the Broken

My previous article in the series, “Hope is here,” talked about how to find hope when we feel weary. In the following lines, we’ll reflect on the second part addressing our brokenness and how we can find hope again.  Let me ask you first to take a look at this scripture, which we will use […]

Hope for the Weary

This series of articles is about hope and how we can find it again in case we’ve lost it. In this specific article, we will look at “hope for the weary” as stated in the title of this post. The scripture we will use to help us comes from Matthew 11:28-30,   Come to me, […]

Freedom

So far, in our series about Biblical words that begin with the letter “F,” we’ve talked about: Faith. Fear. Forgiveness.   Today, we’ll reflect on “Freedom,” what it means and how we can acquire it according to the Bible. To help us with that, we’ll use John 8. I encourage you to read the entire […]

On Forgiveness

The third Biblical word beginning with the letter “F” is forgiveness. What you’ll discover though is that forgiveness builds on faith and fear, the other two words beginning with the letter “F,” I discussed previously. For the sake of our reflection, I encourage you to read Luke 15, even though we will only focus on […]

On Fear

In this reflection, I talk about “fear,” which is the second in our series as we look at four Biblical words that begin with the letter “F.”  Read the first article, which was on faith, here.  The scripture we’re using for our reflection comes from Luke 12:4-9.      The Context     Luke 12 […]

On Faith

This article is the first of the four in this series as we reflect on 4 Biblical words that begin with the letter “F.” These words are among the most used throughout scripture, which we all need to be aware of since a mastery of these concepts will daily sustain us as Christians. For the […]

And So It Begins

This part of the series looks at the final chapters 21 through 28. I will first share a summary of each chapter before discussing the three key learnings from these last chapters of Acts.      Summary of Acts 21 through 28     I discussed chapter 21 in my last two reflections: Conviction over […]

Power, Perseverance, and Witness

We’ve covered pretty much the entire book of Acts. What’s left is Paul’s last trip, which, to some, is his final missional journey. But, others only refer to this section, chapters 21 through 28, as Paul’s trip to Rome.  As we studied in our previous reflection, Conviction over Convenience, Paul’s trip to Jerusalem was like […]

Conviction Over Convenience

This part of Acts speaks to something we all want: convenience. We will use chapter 21 for this reflection. Read verses 1 through 16. You can also read the entire chapter if you want.  Chapter 21 is like the transition from Paul’s last missionary journey (third) to his trip to Rome, which also marked the […]
