Three Minute Thoughts

Milk or Steak? 02.12.2022 3:10 ↓

The writer to the Hebrews differentiates between types of teaching and when we need one kind versus another.

Better than 01.12.2022 3:10 ↓

Jesus is better. That's pretty much all you need to know to look at Hebrews 3-4.

A different approach 30.11.2022 3:10 ↓

The book known as Hebrews has no specified author and very little extra detail is given. It's a different approach than we're used to with this kind of writing.

Man am I good! 29.11.2022 3:10 ↓

Paul could pat himself on the back in so many ways, instead he approaches this from a little different perspective.

Power of humility 28.11.2022 3:10 ↓

Paul reminds the Philippian church that his imprisonment isn't for nothing and that when we have the right focus (Jesus) then even the hardest times are manageable.

The right reason makes the difference 25.11.2022 3:10 ↓

When we have the right 'why' then we'll be able to endure some pretty interesting things. If we're in it for ourselves, then we'll likely not stand the test of time.

Mystery and Unity 24.11.2022 3:10 ↓

Paul reminds us that the gospel has unique power and ability and its intended recipients are a broader group than we might think.

The 3 pillars 23.11.2022 3:10 ↓

The three pillars of faith of a follower of Jesus are found in Ephesians 2:8-9. Check them and see why they're important.

A new way of living 22.11.2022 3:10 ↓

Paul reminds us that if we really believe what we say we believe, it should make us look different in the world.

Who is God? 21.11.2022 3:10 ↓

Paul reminds us exactly what we get when we see Jesus.

A hard thing to hear 18.11.2022 3:42 ↓

Paul reminds the people of Rome what Isaiah told the Israelites in the Old Testament. It wasn't easy for them to hear and if we take it to heart it won't be easy for us to hear either.

Run Aground 17.11.2022 3:42 ↓

Instead of asking God to take away the storm Paul sees the storm as a way to see God's provision.

Roll with the punches 16.11.2022 3:42 ↓

Paul struggles with challenge after challenge but he stays the course. A major lesson from Paul's life is that sometimes we need to learn to roll with the punches.

Playing both sides against the middle 15.11.2022 3:42 ↓

Paul knows his message and his audience and his own story to the point that he uses all of it to keep the kingdom message in front of everyone.

Long winded preacher 14.11.2022 3:42 ↓

No one should complain when the pastor preaches too long. Not a pastor today I know who's preached so long someone fell asleep and fell out the window.

Let them say dumb things 11.11.2022 3:42 ↓

Do we assume that everyone just gets it when it's not something they've grown up with like us?

Do we make it harder than it has to be? 10.11.2022 3:42 ↓

When it comes to believing in Jesus, we tend to set up structures that really aren't the most important thing. They might be helpful and promote order and unity but are they essential? Probably not.

Live what you believe 09.11.2022 3:42 ↓

Does your love for God shine through what you say and do? It should!

Who's in? 08.11.2022 3:42 ↓

An often discussed passage of the Bible is all about Jew vs Gentile, who's in and who's out and how do we know?

The Devil Made Me Do It? 07.11.2022 3:42 ↓

Paul reminds us that we are at war not with one another but with the very identity of evil inside ourselves.

Just in time 04.11.2022 3:42 ↓

Paul reminds us that Christ came when we needed him most - just in time to save us.

Jew vs Gentile? 03.11.2022 3:42 ↓

Paul highlights some lines here between Jews and Gentiles and the circumcised versus the uncircumcised. We'll be very high level on these topics but if you're listening with the kiddos, you might want to give it a check so you know how to answer any questions that might come up.

The power of the Gospel 02.11.2022 3:42 ↓

Paul reminds us of the power of the gospel when heard, trusted and lived rightly.
