How We Prayed

August 31, 2020 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ 2 Comments

Our church has returned to in-person worship. Though we are taking measures to help with social distancing, and several elements of our Sunday mornings have changed, it is a blessing beyond words to worship together, singing hymns of truth and the beauty of our Lord to one another and to him, standing next to one … Continue reading How We Prayed

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

Listening, Seeing, Weeping, Praying

June 2, 2020 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ Leave a comment

There are so many voices today, speaking, shouting, accusing, pleading, weeping, and praying. Some voices tell me that, as a white woman, I have nothing to contribute to the conversation. Other voices tell me that, as a white woman, I need to speak up. Nothing I ever write or say will please everyone. But I’d … Continue reading Listening, Seeing, Weeping, Praying

Romans 5-7,the Highlights

March 2, 2020 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ Leave a comment

This week in our study we covered Romans chapters 5-7. No small task. But it was made easier by remembering that our goal is to lay a foundation for chapter 8, not to deeply explore every nook and cranny of 5 to 7. With this in mind, I must limit this post to the high … Continue reading Romans 5-7,the Highlights

Hope In God…

November 5, 2018November 5, 2018 ~ Barbaranne Kelly ~ 1 Comment

On Sunday morning, November 5, as I sat worshiping with my family in church, a gunman entered the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, Texas, only 37 miles away, and violently murdered half of their congregation. As the news began to break that afternoon, it sounded unbelievable. As more news filtered out, it only got … Continue reading Hope In God…

Originally posted March 2, 2018, at Women of Purpose. Welcome to Peter’s second epistle.

Standing in the True Grace of God, Lesson 16

Originally posted February 22, 2018, at Women of Purpose. With this lesson we reach a milestone in our study: we are finishing 1 Peter. Next week we begin 2 Peter, but for now, let’s finish Peter’s first epistle well. Our lesson begins in the middle of Peter’s call for humility among believers. Humble yourselves, therefore, … Continue reading Standing in the True Grace of God, Lesson 16
