How We Serve Each Other on Sundays
As we explore together at Kaleo how the Gospel affects our view of the church community, I wanted to share parts of a great article by Colin Marshall (read in it’s entirety here) that deals with how we serve and minister to each other on Sunday mornings. While there are countless ways we can do [...]

The Pew Prayer
For the next two weeks at Kaleo, we’re talking about how the Gospel affects our view of the church community. I recently came across a great article by Colin Marshall that talks about how viewing ourselves as a vital part of a church community affects the way we view something as basic as attending worship [...]

Jesus Give Our Work New Expectency
knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality. (Colossians 3:24-25 ESV) Knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving [...]

Jesus Give Our Work New Passion
As we read Colossians 3:22-23, we see that our day-to-day work is given a new passion when the Gospel begins to take root in our hearts and lives. Where do we see that in the text? The word translated “heartily” here literally means “from the soul/heart” – the seat of affections and emotions. It’s telling [...]

Jesus Gives Our Work New Character
The past two weeks at Kaleo, we’ve been talking about how the Gospel shapes our view of our everyday work. (If you missed it, here’s the audio for week 1 and week 2). This week on the blog, we’re looking together at Colossians 3:22 – 4:1 and exploring more of what this means. When we begin [...]

The Gospel and our Work
Right now, we’re going through a series at Kaleo called Gospel Roots, looking at what happens when the gospel truly takes root in our hearts and lives. For two weeks, we’ve been exploring how the gospel impacts the way we view our work, and so far the implications have been huge. “What do you want to [...]

Until I Get Back
Some of you may know – Shannon is due to give birth to our second child, a son, any day now. Actually, she was due to give birth to him a week ago – we hit the 41 week mark today. As you can imagine, this puts me in a pretty big state of flux – [...]

Would you pray this?
This is John Piper’s prayer for the people of Bethlehem Baptist Church as he enters into an 8 month sabbatical. I can think of nothing I’d love more than to have our Christians across the world praying this same prayer for their own churches. Would you pray with me for a great awakening that results in [...]

Immediate and Ordinary
I would want to talk about things that are immediate and ordinary. In the kind of world we live in, the primary way that I can get people to be aware of God is to say, “Who are you going to have breakfast with tomorrow and how are you going to treat them?” I don’t [...]

Doubting Thomas and Doubting Bill
This week, I’m preaching from the account in John 20:24-29 that has been traditionally called the account of “Doubting Thomas”. Thomas often get’s a pretty bad rap, doesn’t he? We forget that the notion that a man claiming to be the Messiah would be brutally murdered and then raised from the dead was completely off [...]
