Colossians 3:16 (NIV) “Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.” Paul’s language here is intentional — let the Word dwell richly.  That means don’t let it pass through; let it take residence. The Word of God is not a visitor meant to stop by on Sabbath or Sunday and leave by Monday — it’s meant to move in and make itself

Today, we move on to verse 12 of Colossians 3 (NIV) - “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” What did the Apostle Paul mean when he said, “clothe yourselves” ? He was reminding us that compassion is not automatic, it is intentional.  Just as we choose what to wear every morning, we must choose the attitude we step into the day with. Compassion doesn’t appear by accident; it is

I don’t know about you, but I love me some peace. And for all the confusion I’ve lived through, I believe I deserve some peace. I believe that those of you listening and watching also love peace. Even the most cantankerous person enjoys a bit of peace sometimes. In Colossians 3:15 (NLT) the Bible says “Let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.”  Note that in the scripture Paul

Colossians 3:9-10 (NIV) “Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.” In Paul’s letter to the Colossians, he shifts from how we should think  to how we should live.   A renewed mind must produce a renewed lifestyle. We cannot wear yesterday’s attitudes and expect tomorrow’s anointing to flow freely.  What does this mean? The same way we change

Colossians 3:1–2 (NLT) “Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.” When the Apostle Paul wrote to the Colossians, he wasn’t giving them a suggestion. Rather, he was calling them to a new posture.  “Since you’ve been raised with Christ,” he said, “lift your perspective.”  Today, we must always imagine ours

Revelation 22:1–2 (NIV)  – “Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life… and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.” Do we realise, Family, that the Bible ends where it began?  What do we mean by that? I’m glad you asked. And for those who said yes, they know this, correct me if I

1 Corinthians 15:22 (NIV)  –  “For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.” When Adam sinned, death entered the human story. Not just physical death, but spiritual separation from God.  Yet through Christ, life reentered the picture. The first Adam brought a curse; the Second Adam brought a CURE. Through one man came the fall; through another came the resurrection. Romans 5:17 (NLT)  declares, “For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many

Genesis 3:23–24 (NIV) – “So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After He drove the man out, He placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.” When Adam and Eve left Eden, it looked like punishment. How many times does correction feel that way to us? Often, it depends on the way it is done, because some people are really hars

Genesis 3:12 (NKJV) – “The man said, ‘The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.’” When God confronted Adam after the fall, Adam’s first instinct wasn’t confession—it was blame.  From that moment on, humanity learned how to shift responsibility.  Instead of saying, “I sinned,” he said, “She made me.” Does that sound familiar to us? We have all thought it, said it, done it—pointing at people, circumstances, or even God, rather than facing the tr

Genesis 3:6-7 (NLT)  – “At that moment their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves.” We all know the story: a garden, a tree, a choice, and two people whose decision changed the entire world.  When we hear about Adam and Eve, we often think, “If only he/she/they hadn’t eaten that fruit.”   And without reading the Scripture carefully, some debate who actually ate the fruit first, as though that
