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

LIVING WORD
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage-with great patience and careful instruction. 2 Timothy 4:2 This verse speaks of the great essentials that must be carried on to fulfill the prayer of our Lord and to advance the kingdom of God and bring to fulfillment the amazing work that began by His first appearing upon the earth. When we read the phrase "preach the Word," most of us think that this is addres

LIFE OF PRAISE
Hebrews 13:14-16 For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come. Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise-the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. Hebrews 13:14-16 The Lord Jesus offered up His sinless life to His Heavenly Father as the full, final, and sufficient sacrifice for the sin of the w

JUSTIFIED FAITH: IN CHRIST
Galatians 2:16 Know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified. Galatians 2:16 Yes, we are justified by faith. However, it is Jesus’ faith, trust, and faithfulness to God and to us that saves us, not our own faith. This is the Good News. Only faith in Chri

JESUS:RADIANCE OF GOD'S GLORY
Hebrews 1:1-4 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days be has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. So he b

IT IS WRITTEN: READ IT FOR YOURSELF
2 Corinthians 2:9-12, 16 However, as it is written: "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived"(Is 64:4) - the things God has prepared for those who love him— these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who knows a person's thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. What we have re

INSPIRATION, ILLUMINATION, REVELATION
2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 As we thumb through the pages of scripture, which have become so familiar to us, it is a challenging and awesome thing to consider Who it is that lies behind those inspired pages and the eternal significance of their content. The written Word of God is not ju

IN PERILOUS TIME, TRUST IN JESUS
2 Timothy 3:1-5 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. 2 Timothy 3:1-5

HOLY SPIRIT LED
1 Corinthians 2:1-5 And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on

HOLY PURSUIT OF PEACE
Hebrews 12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. Hebrews 12:14 Living in peace with everyone is one of the toughest things we will do. Peace is not the absence of conflict, but a by-product of commitment. We will not always feel like loving the people around us, but we must pursue peace in order to propel people toward Jesus. A lack of effort to live in peace develops a bitterness inside us. When we al

HOLD FIRMLY, WE ARE THE HOUSE OF CHRIST
Hebrews 3:4-6 For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. "Moses was faithful as a servant in all God's house," bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. But Christ is faithful as the Son over God's house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory. Hebrews 3:4-6 For me, one of the most compelling things about Christianity is its coherence, that the pieces of God's story co
