The topic of Predestination has caused a lot of debate among Christians over the years. The truth is, we will never fully understand this matter, and we must learn to simply trust God with the unknown parts. The Bible tells us that God is God and He will always do what is right, even when we don’t understand Him.
Throughout this letter to the Ephesians, Paul repeatedly uses the phrase “in Christ”. These are two of the most important words in all of life. Whether or not we are in Christ will determine our eternal destiny, and it will also determine how we live here on earth. Are you in Christ?
Imagine living your entire life without ever realizing you were the heir to an enormous fortune! Sadly, many Christians live without ever knowing all that they have been given in Christ. Join us for this study through the book of Ephesians as we discover the incredible spiritual blessings we have in Jesus Christ.
If you knew of one sure way to have God’s blessing and favor upon your life, would you want to know about it? Proverbs 8:33 tells us what that is. It is essential for us to grow daily in wisdom if our life is going to be one of usefulness to God’s kingdom.
Have careless words ever gotten you into trouble? The Bible says that words have the power of life and death; the power to heal or the power to destroy. This look into Proverbs helps us learn how to guard our words so that they will honor God and bless those who listen.
Who we choose as our closest friends will, to a large degree, affect the course of our life. Are the people who have the greatest influence on us helping to shape us into the image of Christ, and what are we doing to help bring that about in the lives of others?
If you knew there was a book that contained eternal wisdom for every area of your life; a book that would help you make wise decisions in your family, your finances, your job, your relationships… would you read it? God has given us that book. It is called Proverbs, and if we study it, God’s wisdom and character will flow through our lives, affecting the day-to-day decisions that we make.
We all have different memories of our father… for some people, those memories bring great joy. For others, they bring tremendous pain. But even though none of our earthly fathers were perfect, we have a heavenly Father who loves us with an everlasting love, regardless of who we are. Do you know this Father’s love?
If someone came up to you and asked, “How can I live a life of significance?”, what would you say to them? It’s easy to confuse success with significance, yet only one of them will truly matter in the end. Which one are you living for?
Our purpose on this earth is not just to step into God’s mission for a few weeks or a few months, but to finish the mission by reaching the destination God has for us. Will we get distracted by the mirages along the way like the Israelites in the wilderness, or will we see past them with God’s vision and fulfill our purpose on this earth?
The only way to follow God into the life’s purpose that He has for each of us is to let go of things that are holding us back. We must completely surrender to God and be willing to let Him mess up our plans. But none of us are good at surrendering. We all want to have things our own way. Yet the Bible makes it unmistakably clear that as followers of Christ, we must be willing to yield our plans to His plans and follow wherever He leads.
Does your life really matter? Is there any purpose to it all, or is the day to day grind just a pointless, meaningless existence? Are you here by accident, or is there a reason–a mission–for your life? If you have ever pondered the question, “What on earth am I here for?”, this series will give you the answer!
