Treasure in Heaven
When we walk like Jesus – loving others and not think of ourselves – then we “lay up” treasure in heaven. What is precious to us cannot be stolen away and will never wear old or deteriorate. And even after this earth passes away, love with continue for all eternity.
Triumphal Feast • Ephesians 3 “The Promise of the Church” pt. 2
Having shown that the Apostle Paul declared the promise of the opening of the gospel to the Gentiles is fulfilled in the church, Elder Bryce shows how we should react in devotion to our local church with joy and thankfulness.
WHEN Ye Fast
We certainly should not be announcing to others that we are fasting so they feel sorry for us! And, if fasting is to humble us, then why would we use it to promote ourselves as better than others?
Let Us Pray
God’s people can and should be private prayer all day long. The metaphor of a closet shows us that no one can tell when we are praying!
Alms for the Poor
My Grandfather always told me, “you can’t out give God!”
Private Christianity
I believe that Jesus intended for us to focus on our private discipleship in order to fulfill our mandate as the light of the world.
Triumphal Feast • Ephesians 3 “The Promise of the Church” pt. 1
Along with the prophecy of the coming of the Messiah, the Old Testament contains several promises to a time of the light of knowledge of God coming to the Gentiles. Ephesians chapter 3 teaches us that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a fulfillment of that long anticipated revelation.
Triumphal Feast • Ephesians 2:11-22 “Reconciled in One Body” pt. 2
The answer to any tension we have is not found in politics. The answer is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Love: Christian Style
By loving, we can be complete (perfect) disciples.
