    An exhortation and three warnings frame what might be another Christ hymn.

    YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM. Colossians 2:6-19. I. The Apostle Paul is concerned that the Colossians should not be “beguiled with enticing words” - or “deluded with beguiling speech” (Colossians 2:4).

    A Corporate, Intimate, Reverent Prayer.

    SOME THOUGHTS ON THE LORD’S PRAYER. Matthew 6:7-15. In the expression, “When you (all) pray” (Matthew 6:7), Jesus assumes that His disciples (in all ages) WILL pray.

    Reconciliation, And Grace To Follow.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 3, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,974 views

    Our reconciliation with God is made possible by the grace of God through the work of Christ. Having been reconciled, we are made the righteousness of God in Him. We are enabled, by the same grace of God, to follow God in the way of righteousness.

    RECONCILIATION, AND GRACE TO FOLLOW. 2 Corinthians 5:20-21; 2 Corinthians 6:1-10. As an ambassador for Christ, Paul was pleading with the Corinthians - on behalf of Christ - that they go on being reconciled to God (2 Corinthians 5:20).

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,570 views

    God's grace is available to all, but many receive this grace and pervert it. They turn the grace of God to a licence to commit immorality and do wickedness in our society. The consequences for those who despise, frustrate and pervert God's grave are severe.

    TEXT: Jude 1:4 (NIV). "For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord." CHOSEN BY ...read more

    There are times in life when you need a good loving snuggle to feel secure. You need someone to wrap their arms around you and let you know that you are loved.

    1 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out ...read more
