Dwell on These Things
Dwell on These Things
What does it look like to live out Philippians 4:8? "Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise—dwell on these things."

“Eli’s Sons Reject God and God Calls Samuel” - 1 Samuel 2:12-3:21
The opening chapters of 1 Samuel present two very different responses to God. Eli’s sons, Hophni and Phinehas, served as priests but treated God’s commands with contempt. Samuel was still a boy, but he learned to listen when God spoke. One group possessed religious authority without knowing God, wh…

"Hannah Prays for a Son" - 1 Samuel 1:1-2:11
The book of 1 Samuel begins during an important transition in Israel’s history. The period of the judges is coming to an end, and Israel will soon begin asking for a king. Before the book introduces us to Samuel, Saul, or David, however, it introduces us to a woman named Hannah. Her story begins wi…

"Forever with the Lord" - Revelation 21 & 22
Every believer lives with a tension between what is and what will be. We know Christ has saved us, yet we still live in a world marked by sin, grief, sickness, conflict, disappointment, and death. We experience God’s presence, but we don’t yet see Him face to face. We enjoy His blessings, but we al…

"Serving with the Gifts God Has Given" - 1 Peter 4:7-11
Most people like the idea that their lives have purpose. We want to believe that our abilities, experiences, opportunities, and relationships can contribute to something larger than ourselves. Scripture affirms that desire, but it also redirects it. Our gifts weren’t given primarily so we could bui…

"Loving Others Like Jesus" - Matthew 22:34-40
One of the clearest signs that we understand the heart of God is the way we treat people. It’s possible to know a great deal about theology, attend church faithfully, memorize Scripture, and still struggle to love others well. We can become skilled at discussing truth while remaining impatient, har…

“Obeying God with Joy” - John 15:1-11
Many people think of obedience as the opposite of joy. Obedience can sound restrictive, demanding, or burdensome. Joy, by contrast, sounds freeing and satisfying. Our culture often teaches us that happiness comes from following our desires, resisting limitations, and choosing our own path. Jesus pr…

"Delighting in God's Presence" - Psalm 16:1-11
Most people are attempting to find joy, but I don’t think they really understand what they’re looking for. Real joy is a sincere contentment in Christ regardless of our circumstances. Happiness isn’t the same as joy. Happiness is dependent on what’s going on around us. I’m not opposed to being …
