Church growth can be difficult. Where do we put all these people? How can they connect with others? How can we ensure they’re being cared for and shepherded? Where did they come from? If this growth doesn’t bring with it a growth in maturity, then the difficulty is that much…
“And the ark of God was taken” (1 Sam 4:11, 17, 19, 21). Although this was just part of what was shared with Eli after the Israelites were defeated by the Philistines, it was the most devastating news. Let’s learn more about the account of the capture and return of…
While we may not all be well-versed in the epistolary conventions of the 1st century world, we can at least appreciate the ways in which the New Testament authors address their recipients. These authors address the recipients as the “church of God” or “saints” or a “true child in the…

We wouldn’t normally think of describing ourselves as possessing a particular fragrance or aroma when it comes to the effect we have on those we rub shoulders with. The senses that get most of the attention in the Bible are seeing, tasting, and hearing. But smelling? That doesn’t show up…
