“… equip you… ”

What can I know about God this moment? He is the God of peace. He is the God who gave His only begotten Son as a sacrifice for me on the cross.  This is the resurrected Jesus Christ!  That is how God made peace between Himself and me. He is the God who has fulfilled […]

“… the eternal covenant… ”

The living God of the Old & New Testament said: (NASB) Isaiah 55:3 “Incline your ear and come to Me; Listen, that you may live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you, According to the faithful mercies shown to David.” (NASB) Hebrews 13:20 “Now the God of peace, who brought up from the […]

“… the blood… ”

Throughout the Old and New Testament, God reveals His Anointed One, His only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. (NASB) Hebrews 13:20 “Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord.” Such a “picture” of Messiah’s […]

Jesus ~ the Great Shepherd

Jesus is the great Shepherd whom the God of peace resurrected from the dead. (NASB) Hebrews 13:20 “Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep…” Jesus Christ is the great Shepherd of the sheep.  I am one of His sheep.  He is my Savior, He saves […]

“The God of peace”

Humility in “all things”

(NASB) Hebrews 13:18 “Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a good conscience, desiring to conduct ourselves honorably in all things.” Humility… is yielding to God and His ways for me. Humility… exposes my need. Humility… is asking others to pray that I “have a good conscience.” Humility… does not announce itself […]

Godly Leaders

  Spiritual leadership in the church is important.  God says to obey godly leaders by yielding to their leadership. Does that mean following with our eyes closed?  No, for our leaders are responsible before God to obey Him.  We are not to be blind to what we see and deaf to what we hear.  We […]
