  Reference Lesson of Gog and Magog GROUP DISCUSSION:  1. Security vs. Reality In Ezekiel 38 , Israel is described as living in safety and security before the attack. What do you think “feeling secure” looks like today—for individuals or nations? Can something look stable on the surface but still be vulnerable underneath? 2. Recognizing God in World Events A repeated theme in Ezekiel 39 is: “Then they will know that I am the Lord.” Why do you think God allows such a dramatic situation to unfold before revealing Himself? Where do you see people today recognizing—or ignoring—God in major world events? 3. Responding Instead of Speculating Both Ezekiel 38 –39 and Revelation 20 talk about large-scale conflict and opposition to God. When you hear about wars or global tensions today, what is your natural reaction—fear, curiosity, indifference, something else? What would a healthy, faith-based response look like instead of trying to “figure everything out”? ...

This 7-day devotional is designed to move you from a "performance" mindset to a "presence" mindset, rooted in the foundational truths of 1 Corinthians 1:1–9.  You can listen once more to the message here before answering any questions.    The "Firm to the End" 7-Day Devotional Day 1: The Identity Shift  * Scripture: “Called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God...” (v. 1);  Jeremiah 1:5  * The Thought: Paul didn’t choose his career; he responded to a call. Your primary identity isn't what you do for a paycheck, but who you are by God's "will."  * Serendipitous Question: If my current job or role disappeared tomorrow, how much of my "self" would be left?  * Action: Write down three things you are (e.g., "loved," "chosen," "forgiven") that have nothing to do with your achievements. Day 2: The Geography of Holiness  * Scripture: “To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Chr...

Below are expanded theological and lexical notes on each Greek term from Colossians 3:5–14 . These notes draw from major lexicons (BDAG, LSJ, TDNT), Greco-Roman usage, Jewish background, and Paul’s theology. COLOSSIANS 3:5 — “PUT TO DEATH” THE EARTHLY VICES 1. πορνεία — porneía (“sexual immorality”) Lexical Notes Root πορνή means “prostitute”; verb πορνεύω means “to engage in illicit sexual intercourse.” In Greco-Roman culture, often used for prostitution, extramarital sex, or promiscuity in general. In the Septuagint (LXX), closely tied to covenant unfaithfulness , both literal and metaphorical. Theological Notes Paul uses porneía as a broad category for all sexual sin outside God’s covenant design. For Paul, sexual sin uniquely unites the body (which belongs to Christ) with another in a disordered way (1 Cor 6:15–20). Connected with idolatry and pagan religious practices. 2. ἀκαθαρσία — akatharsía (“impurity”) Lexical Notes Literally “uncleannes...

Every believer needs someone to guide them.  At times, they need someone to remind them and yes! to rebuke them.   Rebuking plays an important role in the life of a believer, particularly in maintaining spiritual health and integrity within the Christian community. The Bible makes clear that rebuke (or correction) is necessary for growth, correction of wrongdoing, and restoration. However, it also outlines important guidelines for how to go about it properly, ensuring it is done with love, humility, and the goal of restoration rather than punishment. Here’s an overview of the biblical perspective on rebuke and the guidelines for practicing it: 1. Rebuke with the Goal of Restoration Purpose: The goal of a rebuke should always be restoration, correction, and healing rather than condemnation. Scripture Reference: Galatians 6:1 — “Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or ...
