The Gravity of Suffering (Colossians 1:24-2:5) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
And Paul really wants the Colossians to know how much he cares about them… He says he’s agonized for them and for many other believers who he’s never met personally. He writes, “For though I am far away from you, my heart is with you.” Has your heart ever been somewhere else? Have you cared so deeply about another that your heart is with them and you can’t help but try and do something to alleviate their suffering? Suffering has mysterious way of holding us together. It compels us to care about
In Him, Through Him, For Him (Colossians 1:15-20) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We can picture God as big and cosmic, a force, like gravity, that holds everything together—but that God is “way out there”, unaware of our suffering or unwilling to intervene. And we can picture Jesus, the human being, as our friend, as someone who cares about us… but he doesn’t also seem capable of absorbing all the sin of all the world or reversing death itself. And yet the Bible never settles for a Jesus who makes complete sense to us. Somehow, he is “big” enough to hold the whole broken uni
The Center Holds (Colossians 1:1-14) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The news cycle is moving faster and faster. Wars rage around the world. Our cultural fabric seems to be ripping at the seams. It feels as if the center cannot hold. As if the world is falling apart. Perhaps you’ve felt this way not just about the world around you but about your own life. The loss of a job or a loved one. The weight of an injustice levied against you. Illness and suffering. It can feel as if life is falling apart. But the letter to the Colossians argues that the center does hold.
The Fiery Furnace (Daniel 3:8-25) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Standing on the edge of fiery furnace, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were able to actually embody what it means to have faith. To believe that God is good and trustworthy beyond the assurance of a guaranteed outcome. They knew God was not only in control of their story but walking it out with them. Their faith was not contingent upon whether God would save them. Even if God didn’t, it was enough for them to know that God could. It was enough to know that God would be with them regardless of the
Rahab (Joshua 2:1-14) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rahab was a woman, a Canaanite, and a prostitute. She is the kind of person the Israelites would have written off and ignored. And yet, her faith in the God of Israel defies expectations. Before she even asked to be included amongst the people of God, she offers that kind of inclusion to the Israelite spies. In faith, she’s already done the very thing that she hoped God would do for her. As she welcomed enemy spies, she trusted that God would welcome her. As she provided safety to them, she pray
