One of the most familiar stories of the Bible is that of David and Goliath. This is a story of a young teen facing impossible odds and through the grace of God was victorious. The stance that David made is admirable. The faith that he displayed is inspirational. The commitment he had to God isContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#33)”

Scripture Reading Challenge (#28)
First John 4:1 reads, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” John continues with a litmus test for professing believers. Discernment is an essential part of the Christian life. Not everything that seems like it is from GodContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#28)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#18)
One of my favorite stories is the Chronicles of Narnia. In The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, the children are talking about the Christ-like figure, Aslan the Lion. The conversation goes, “Aslan is a lion- the Lion, the great Lion.” “Ooh,” said Susan. “I’d thought he was a man. Is he quite safe? IContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#18)”

Have you ever had to keep a surprise hidden but couldn’t keep it secret because you were so excited to share it?

Scripture Reading Challenge (#14)
God does not point out our sin to laugh at us or scorn. Instead, he reveals our issues so that we can deal with them appropriately. That is, to be cleansed and forgiven.

Scripture Reading Challenge (#13)
I grew up with the saying, “be sure your sins will find you out” (Numbers 32:23). And, found out that it’s true. If we think that we can escape being noticed when we do something wrong or when we neglect to do the right thing, we are only fooling ourselves. We will reap what we sowContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#13)”
CFCB Scripture Reading Challenge (#2)
God’s creation included freewill. Adam could use this freedom to voluntarily choose to love God and obey his commands, or he could abuse this freedom and decide to disobey God. The reading today focuses on the fall of man and how sin entered into creation. Read Genesis 3:1-24 In this third chapter, we are introducedContinue reading “CFCB Scripture Reading Challenge (#2)”
CFCB Scripture Reading Challenge (#1)
Over the next 100 days, the congregation of Columbus First Christian Baptist is engaging in a Scripture reading challenge. We are using the Essential 100 reading guide by the Scripture Union.

Christian Planning
The default Christian mixture of planning minimizes the role of people and lifts up our dependence on the leading of God. The problem is when those that are carnal find themselves in positions of leadership and espouse a spirituality that is a cover up for a laissez-faire attitude toward any type of preparation and planning.Continue reading “Christian Planning”
Preach the Word
In 2011, the deacon of the church I pastor, Jack Roberts, received his eternal reward. He was a praying man, and he loved to pray for his pastor. Many times throughout a sermon, you could hear him praying for souls to be saved, believers to be strengthened, and for the sermon Holy Spirit to continueContinue reading “Preach the Word”
