Jul 22, 2013 - Jul 24, 2013 1 Kings 19 You will break the bow, if you keep it always bent. So goes an ancient Greek saying. Perhaps it was because of Elijah's “bent bow” that he finally broke under the strain. In 1 Kings 19, we find him disillusioned, downcast, and discouraged. But why? And in the midst of his depression, how did God deal with His broken servant? Elijah's story helps us understand how we can handle those days when we, too, get discouraged.

Jul 17, 2013 - Jul 19, 2013 Philemon Philemon is the shortest and most personal letter we have from the pen of the Apostle Paul. Grasping its implications rests upon an understanding of the life of a slave in the first century, who was nothing more than a piece of property in the hands of his or her master. Paul addressed Philemon, a slave owner, on behalf of Onesimus, Philemon's former slave. Onesimus had escaped from Philemon and fled to Rome. While there he came to know Christ as Saviour under the influence of Paul. Character Counts: Building a Life That Pleases God read more

Jul 12, 2013 - Jul 16, 2013 Daniel 6:1-23 Ours is a day of bending the rules and rationalizing the wrong. A growing number of Christians are buying into the mentality that says, “Grace covers whatever…go ahead, God understands and forgives.” The results are somewhere between embarrassing and scandalous. Issues such as marital commitment, sexual purity, intellectual honesty, and financial accountability are up for discussion rather than character traits to embrace. Even the ranks of ministry have been tainted. The need? Character Counts: Building a Life That Pleases God read more

Jul 10, 2013 - Jul 11, 2013 2 Timothy 1:15-18 Our thoughts turn to one of the lesser-known people in Scripture. A man whose fame was eclipsed by Paul's, but he played a vital role in the life of his better-known counterpart. His name? Onesiphorus, pronounced “Oh-neh-SIF-ah-russ.” His contribution in character? Refreshment…that rare yet wonderful ability to give breathing room, to provide cooling relief, to help in the healing process. How we need such people today!
