Three Minute Thoughts

Guiding 06.02.2024 3:10 ↓

The people of Israel followed God's lead and were provided for along the journey.

Burden 02.02.2024 3:10 ↓

Paul reminds us that often people in relationships have to bear one another's burdens.

Slave 01.02.2024 3:10 ↓

Paul draws a distinction between slaves and adopted sons.

Serve 31.01.2024 3:10 ↓

Paul draws a clear distinction between works and faith. They're not at odds but one definitely needs to lead the other.

Opposition 30.01.2024 3:10 ↓

Paul opposes Peter for his lack of integrity.

Apostle 29.01.2024 3:10 ↓

Paul writes to a church that's confused about the gospel and what's most important.

Division 26.01.2024 3:10 ↓

The one tool Satan will use against the church is division. Paul warns here to avoid those who seek division.

Hope 25.01.2024 3:10 ↓

The hope of all humanity is found in Jesus.

Challenging 24.01.2024 3:10 ↓

Paul is telling us in this chapter to make sure our actions and our motives are right. Why are we doing things that make following Jesus harder than Jesus intended?

Laws 23.01.2024 3:10 ↓

We look for loopholes on when we don't have to follow the rules or when it's ok to disobey those in authority. But Paul here is telling us it's not about the exception, it's about the rule. He's focusing on the relationship and the love for neighbor in these verses.

Mr. Bill 22.01.2024 3:10 ↓

A favorite verse from someone who meant a lot to me. How is your worship going?

Saved 19.01.2024 3:10 ↓

Paul draws the distinction between followers of God and people say they're followers of God. There needs to be some form of life change in order for this to be real.

Credit 18.01.2024 3:10 ↓

Paul draws a very clear line on what the gospel is and what it is not.

Choices 17.01.2024 3:10 ↓

God is the source of salvation. We are not.

Fulfilled 16.01.2024 3:10 ↓

Jesus fulfilled the requirements of the law now we have absolute confidence in faith and life.

Law 15.01.2024 3:10 ↓

Paul talks about the human condition. We like to get as close to boundaries as possible to see how much we can get away with. That's the case when the law is the motivator, but when the gospel (or relationship) is the motivation we don't push the limits as much.

Dead 12.01.2024 3:10 ↓

In baptism we die to sin and are made alive again in Jesus. Now, because of this grace of God, we run from sin. No we're not perfect but we strive to stay away from sinful behavior to pursue the righteous desires of God.

Adam? 11.01.2024 3:10 ↓

Adam brought sin and death but Jesus restores all to life.

Abraham 10.01.2024 3:10 ↓

Abraham was a key figure in the lives of the Jews. Paul here explains why he should be important.

Power 09.01.2024 3:10 ↓

The power of the gospel is that it works for Jews and for non Jewish people.

Judgment 08.01.2024 3:10 ↓

We judge but then do the same thing we judge others for doing. This is not a good thing!

Kickoff 05.01.2024 3:10 ↓

Paul reminds us who he is now, what he's telling us and why he's writing this letter.

Blessed 04.01.2024 3:10 ↓

The concept of forgiveness is pretty amazing. We love to apply it to other people, like they need forgiving for the thing they did wrong. The Psalmist here talks about the forgiveness we all need individually.

Law 03.01.2024 3:10 ↓

David helps us see how the Law of God is freeing and life giving.

Victory 02.01.2024 3:10 ↓

David writes a psalm of worship recognizing who God is and what he's done for all of us.
