Such a High Priest

November 15, 2021 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ Leave a comment

I was away last week, and our study was led by Jana, who very faithfully and capably put in the work to walk us through this portion of the book of Hebrews, 8:1–9:14. I say “walk,” but getting to this chapter has taken a climb. Together with the author of Hebrews we have scaled the … Continue reading Such a High Priest

Christ Our Advocate and Propitiation, Lesson 4

July 12, 2021 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ Leave a comment

Several years ago I wrote a series on 1 John (based on a Bible study which I also wrote) for our church's women's ministry blog, which I then re-posted here on my own blog. This morning while looking for something else I discovered that I missed one post in the process. It's a few years … Continue reading Christ Our Advocate and Propitiation, Lesson 4

Whoever is wise, let him understand these things;    whoever is discerning, let him know them;for the ways of the Lord are right,    and the upright walk in them. . . — Hosea 14:9 When I began to study Hosea, I knew that I would discover treasures of God’s love and mercy in this portion of his holy, … Continue reading The Bewildering Magnificence of the Gospel

Wrestling For Grace

“So you, by the help of your God, return,hold fast to love and justice,and wait continually for your God.” — Hosea 12:6 In our last post we learned that we face a daily battle against sin. Every single day, we must be killing sin, or it will be killing us. But there’s another battle that’s … Continue reading Wrestling For Grace

“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life.

Like Adam

And you, who were dead in your trespasses …, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. — Colossians 2:13-14 As I read deeper into Hosea, it causes … Continue reading Like Adam

We Need a New Covenant

May 3, 2021April 22, 2021 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ Leave a comment

What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory— even us whom he has called, not from the … Continue reading We Need a New Covenant

Striving For Peace

August 17, 2020 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ Leave a comment

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about peace. Rather, I’ve been lamenting the lack of peace that seems to be rending not only our nation and world in some very visible ways, but especially situations closer to home which are breaking my heart and the hearts of people I love. I find myself praying in … Continue reading Striving For Peace
