Paul is calling the church in Corinth to live differently than the culture around them. God is calling our church to the same kind of holy living.

The message focuses on true contentment only found through Christ. Highlighting Paul's example of how he learned the secret to contentment in all circumstances.

The passage emphasizes how the gospel changes how we think and feel. It consists of three interconnected points: unity in Christ, peace through prayer, and a praiseworthy life. Paul calls for unity in the church, reminding us of our unity in Christ, and the importance of maintaining it, as disunity disrupts gospel ministry and destroys our witness. He also emphasizes the importance of prayer, whic...

Paul passionately pursued his calling in Christ and kept his focus on his eternal aim.

There is no sufficient righteousness or lasting satisfaction outside of knowing and being known by Christ.

We are called to live out our salvation in Jesus in every area of our lives.

With the gospel as our foundation, humility as our disposition, and Christ as our means and example, we are called to be united as a church. The gospel focuses our mission and our unity strengthens our endurance as we stand together.

We can joyfully participate in God's plan to advance the gospel despite obstacles and difficulties. The first step in being together for the gospel is treasuring the God of the gospel. Our confidence in his promises reminds us that no suffering or sinful motive can stop the advance of the gospel. We can also experience unstoppable joy because Christ is exalted, there is no threat in life or de...

Philippians is a book about unity and joy in the gospel. Like most of his letters, Paul opens with a prayer for the church. In his prayer, Paul lays out his hopes and desires for this church he loves.

Malachi is a succinct and fitting summary of the message of the Minor Prophets. We find in Malachi a few last words from the Minor prophets. And, just like the Minor Prophets, I think you’ll find its message surprisingly pertinent to our day and age. Despite the persistent failure of God's people, we see his unstoppable love and purifying presence.

The people of God are called to return to the Lord who controls all of history. If they would repent of their sins, they could enjoy the life that he provides. He is king over all history and is working out a good end for his people. He will accomplish his plan by sending a king to suffer and die for his people and, thereby, bring them peace.

Haggai rebuked the people of Judah for placing comfort over the completion of God's temple. We are reminded of the danger of misplaced priorities, the truth of unmet expectations, and the promise of God to save his people through the Davidic messiah. We can and should build our lives on the promises of God.

The Day of the Lord will bring judgment on the proud and salvation to the humble. In this promise we see a call to repent of pride and pursue humility. We are called to respond with humility to the greatness of God by trusting him rather than trusting ourselves.

Habakkuk is not written to Israel (or Nineveh, Babylon, Edom, etc.). It is written from the prophet to God! This is a deeply personal conversation. Both Habbakuk, this unknown prophet, and God speak unfiltered. The journey of Habakkuk is from uncertainty and suspicion to complete trust in God. It is the path from doubt to faith and it's one each of us invited to take.

The wickedness of the oppressors of God’s people appears to mock the promise of God to his people, but Nahum is a reminder of what’s really going on, who’s really in charge, and what we, as God’s people, are called to do (trust the power and promises of God).

God promises to preserve and protect his people through judgment. The call of God's people is to repent of their sin, trust in the judgment of God, do what he commands them to do, and wait patiently on the Lord.

In four scenes (one in each chapter), the prophet Jonah runs away, rebels, and rejects the beauty of God’s compassion and the wideness of his grace. It’s a call for us to join God in inviting all people to repent and believe.

Obadiah says that, the enemies of God will be punished and the people of God will be saved. God opposes the proud and punishes the enemies of his people. His judgment is certain but his salvation is available. The question is, which am I? Enemy or friend? You either long for Jesus or you fear him. You either live for the Day of the Lord or for the fleeting pleasures of the here-and-now. You either...

Amos’ prophecy is a call to anyone who has heard the Word of the Lord to pursue justice and holiness that flows from a deep well of genuine love of God.

The overall message of Joel could be summed up in one command: return to the Lord before it is too late.
