Bible in a Year 2017

Pastor Rick

1 Corinthians 9-11

Posted on Dec 1, 2017 in Bible in a Year |

Is Paul saying that preachers shouldn’t be paid, that women should keep their heads covered when praying and men cannot have long hair? It seems that way, doesn’t it? Let’s take a closer look….

1 Corinthians 5-8

Posted on Nov 30, 2017 in Bible in a Year |

Paul covers a lot of ground in these few chapters, and his thoughts in print have provided many generations with wise guidance that helps us maneuver our way past many obstacles that have the potential to collapse families, communities and nations.

1 Corinthians 1-4

Will be posting this devotion later in the day. Sadly, I must go help a friend pour concrete this AM. (The down side of having nice weather this late in the year).

Acts 18:19-19:41

It says here that Paul set sail for Syria (Antioch) and took Priscilla and Aquila with him. But a short boat trip later he says goodbye to them in Ephesus. I wonder why?

1 and 2 Thessalonians

Posted on Nov 27, 2017 in Bible in a Year |

The Thessalonians seemed to have their act together. What would Paul say to a Church that is doing exactly what they should be doing? What warnings and advice would he give them? What wouldn’t he bother saying?

Acts 17-18:18

Paul’s first missionary journey stayed on one continent, and was about 1500 miles long. His second journey crosses the Aegean Sea into Greece, and is twice as long. Stanford University put together a program that calculates cost of travel in the first century. Wanna know what that missions trip cost? Read on…

Galatians 4-6

Posted on Nov 25, 2017 in Bible in a Year |

Well, it’s just as I suspected yesterday. A group of people from outside the church have infiltrated the Galatian church and are trying to get them to follow them instead of Paul.

Galatians 1-3

Posted on Nov 24, 2017 in Bible in a Year |

I become excited as I read this today! Paul points out that we are true children of Abraham, and heirs to the riches in Christ. What good news! What a blessing! I can see how he would be frustrated by the Galatians reluctance to receive it.

Acts 15-16

Posted on Nov 23, 2017 in Bible in a Year |

Today as I read I am noticing some contrasts, which make me smile and nod my head in recognition. Paul and company had the same issues to deal with that we do. How they dealt with them remain a good example today.

James 1-5

Posted on Nov 22, 2017 in Bible in a Year |

The epistle is written by James the brother of Jesus, who was the leader of the church in Jerusalem. In modern terms it would a letter from the head of the company, or from the general manager of the store or plant.

Tuesday

Read: Romans 5

Martin Luther said this of the Romans 5, “In the whole Bible there is hardly another chapter which can equal this triumphant text.” In other words, there is some good stuff in here.
