Rejection of Hope

January 31, 2020 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ Leave a comment

Originally posted November 18, 2019, at Women of Purpose. This week our study covered chapter 13 of Hosea, and it is a grim picture of how very far Israel has run from the Lord and the terrible consequences which will therefore follow. These are the portions of the Old Testament that nobody likes to read. … Continue reading Rejection of Hope

How We Prayed

January 21, 2020January 20, 2020 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ Leave a comment

During our worship Sunday morning, January 19, 2020, Pastor Berdj's congregational prayer emphasized God's loving, sovereign care: in making himself known, in calling to salvation and caring for his Church as a whole, and in his particular care for his individual children. We also agreed in prayer that our wise and powerful God is sovereign … Continue reading How We Prayed

Misplaced Dependence

January 20, 2020 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ Leave a comment

Last Fall I was having some issues with back pain, so my doctor recommended … Continue reading Qualification, Confidence, and Strength For Ministry

How We Prayed

January 7, 2020 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ Leave a comment

On Sunday, January 5th, the first Lord's Day of the new year, our elder-led congregational prayer was focused on the most basic, but also most vitally important thing that we as individual Christians and as a church need: God's Word. I asked if I may reprint it here, as a reminder that our Only Wise … Continue reading How We Prayed

Unfaithful Israel

January 3, 2020 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ Leave a comment

Originally posted October 28, 2019, at Women of Purpose. In this, the eighth week of our study, we covered a large swath of Hosea, from 9:10 all the way to 11:11. And while there is so much in this passage which we could unpack and examine, so many details and points of history, the main … Continue reading Unfaithful Israel
