Start with Scripture – May 23, 2016

Today’s Translation: New Living Translation | Weekly Video: The Whole Truth (Acts 18:24-19:7)

“Meanwhile, a Jew named Apollos, an eloquent speaker who knew the Scriptures well, had arrived in Ephesus from Alexandria in Egypt. He had been taught the way of the Lord, and he taught others about Jesus with an enthusiastic spirit and with accuracy. However, he knew only about John’s baptism.” – Acts 18:24-25 (NLT)

Live It Out!

Apollos was a well educated Jew from the metropolitan city of Alexandria (in Egypt). He likely heard about Jesus from a follower of John the Baptist. Because of this, he wouldn’t have heard the whole story (namely the death, resurrection and ascension). Like many new believers, he was highly enthusiastic when it came to sharing the Gospel. However, unlike most new believers, he began his ministry with a sound knowledge of Scripture. His solid foundation was a critical piece in his lasting legacy of faith.

Loved by God – June 8, 2016

Today’s Translation: Holman Christian Standard Bible | Weekly Video: United We Stand (John 17:20-26) “I am in them and You are in Me. May they be made completely one, so the world may know You have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me.” – John 17:23 (HCSB) Live It Out! When Jesus died on the cross for our sin, it was the ultimate act of love. Because we have been washed clean by the blood of Christ, our bodies are now God’s holy temple. Just as the Spirit filled Jesus to allow Him to do His ministry, the indwelling of the Spirit gives us everything we need to accomplish the work God has set before us. We must be one as Jesus and the Father are one by allowing the Holy Spirit to direct our steps each and every day. from Paradigm Shift Ministries http://ift.tt/1t81ZEW via IFTTT

Broken Bread – March 30, 2016

Today’s Translation : Holman Christian Standard Bible | Weekly Video : The New Covenant (Luke 22:14-23) “And He took bread, gave thanks, broke it, gave it to them, and said, ‘This is My body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.’” – Luke 22:19 (HCSB) Live It Out! When Jesus took the bread and broke it, He said “this is my body, broken for you.” As the Church, we too are His body, and we are very much broken today. Let us gather together in His name as often as we can so that we can remember the bitterness of His death. The cross, the ultimate symbol of suffering and shame, soon to be redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. When we eat the bread, may we do so as the unified body of Christ. from Paradigm Shift Ministries http://ift.tt/21TkMP4 via IFTTT
