ADVOCATE
1 Timothy 2:5-6 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 1 Timothy 2:5-6 When two sides cannot come to an agreement face to face, it is time for the mediator to be brought in. The mediator will act as a bridge, perhaps as a go between for the two parties, or perhaps as a third-party perspective to find some means by which both sides can c

HIDDEN IN CHRIST
Colossians 3:1-3 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Colossians 3:1-3 NKJV There is an intentionality these scriptures bring up for believers. Seek the things that are above. Set your minds on things that are above. If we have Christ, and we've been raised with Him, and we ar

STAND, GUARD, LOVE
1 Corinthians 16:13-14 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 What does bravery look like to you? Maybe it's exhibiting strength in the midst of a difficult diagnosis. Perhaps it is the men and women who jump into burning buildings and war zones to find and save the innocent. What if bravery was having the faith to push through another hard day? The young church in Corinth was full of different p

FOLLOW CHRIST
1 Corinthians 11:1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:1 Taking the time to encourage fellow believers is not something that we as Christians think about on a daily basis. Being involved in a church can sometimes include the very important act of needing to encourage others who are also in ministry. Paul had a skill of always taking the time to write to other churches to encourage them to keep pressing on in their faith. Paul calls us to imi

GOD'S WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING
Colossians 1:9-12 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great enduranc

UTTERMOST SAVIOR
Hebrews 7:23-25 The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:23-25 ESV That is an amazing truth. An amazing reality. Don't miss it. First, Jesus can save completely those who come to God through Hi

UNSEEN
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 I love this definition of faith. I think a lot of people, when they think about faith, think it's like stepping out, taking this blind leap into the dark, or this vague hope, or maybe wishful thinking. So, I have faith in this, and I hope it's actually going to happen, but that's not the way the Bible talks about faith. God has not called us to a

UNITED
1 Corinthians 6:17 But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit. 1 Corinthians 6:17 The Lord is a Spirit, and we are human spirit and when regeneration occurs there is a fusing of identity. Think about that for a minute. What a fantastic statement that is. That represents the dignity of humanity above anything in the animal world that we have an ability, a capacity within us to fuse with the very nature of God, so there is no distinction left between us and H

UNASHAMED
1 Timothy 1-8:10 So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me, his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God. He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought l

JESUS CHRIST, TRUE GODLINESS
1 Timothy 3:16 Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory." 1 Timothy 3:16 In this verse Paul gives a history of the life and work of the Lord Jesus Christ, covering the foundational doctrines upon which our eternal salvation rests. Jesus was the eternal Word of God, Who laid aside His

TRANSPLANT
Hebrews 8:10-12 This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord, because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more. Hebrews 8:10-12 These f
