February 9, 2023 Nate Holdridge

I would like to conclude our three-part study of this transfiguration with one last observation. We've seen how the transfiguration on the mountaintop provided an encouraging preview and an important conference. But it also provides us with a different mountain, and this mountain is all-important to your life today. Let me explain. (4 Minutes/900 Words)

Marriage Principles From Non-Marriage Verses, Part 2
The Spirit Transforms Us

Archival Post

Christina and I are not the same people we were in 2002, the year we stood before God and witnesses and declared our covenant of love for one another. As age and life has ticked by, we have both matured. In a sense, because we were relatively young when we married, we have grown up together. But our personal growth is not due entirely to the natural flow of life. No, we have both experienced spiritual transformation at the hands of Jesus Christ. He has shaped and molded us over the years.

**Jesus Christ: The Ultimate Man**

Archival Post

Jesus Christ is the ultimate man. He is the One every believing man wants to emulate. We are bombarded daily with images and impressions and attitudes from society's popularized men, but none of them are worthy to loose Jesus' sandal strap.

Jesus Famous Men Serve Their Homes for Christ

Every person on earth is shaped in some way by his or her father. While a male will contribute to a pregnancy, a father contributes to a legacy. Like the church, family is an entity created and designed by God, and fathers play a huge role in the development and leadership of the individual family. (20 Minutes/5000 Words)

You Are Called to Be His Disciple (Mark 1:16-20)

March 2, 2022 Nate Holdridge

Now we come to the location which the first half of Mark's book centers around, the Sea of Galilee. In those days, and sometimes in the Bible, it was also referred to as the Sea of Tiberias, the Lake or Sea of Gennesaret, or the Sea of Chinnereth. (10 Minutes/2900 Words)

5 Facets of the New Covenant God Made With You

I'm sure you always read the full agreement you make with various companies to use their software and hardware. A recent Apple software license agreement is 451 pages long. And when you clicked "I agree" I'm sure it's because you took the weekend to read through it. Or maybe your lawyer perused it. But did you know God has made agreements with humanity? The biblical word for these agreements is "covenant."

John knew the truthfulness of the gospel message and watched Jesus' life, and heard His teaching. He witnessed Jesus' death and resurrection and had seen the gospel flood the world after Jesus' ascension. And, over time, John had discovered what the gospel does inside a believer. He knew the gospel message is true, but had also come to discover some of its outworkings. (9 Minutes/2400 Words)

The Life of David - Transformed by the Secret King (1 Samuel 22:1–2)

(1 Samuel 22:1–2)

There are episodes in David's life that serve as an excellent picture of the God-hearted man. He went through human struggles, complete with human failures, and our hearts are often encouraged by the way God worked in his life. Our most recent episodes are examples of David's human weakness.

You Are God's Child -- We Will Become Like God's Son (1 John 3:2-6)

PXL_20210426_150353950.MP.jpg — You Are God's Child -- We Will Become Like God's Son

(1 John 3:2-6)

The thought is astounding. One day, God's children will **be like** Jesus **when He appears** (2). This incredible fact follows John's logic well. If believers are born into God's family, it makes sense that our full transformation would make us like God's Son. As God's kids, we will one day be like the Son of God. (9 Minutes/2200 Words)
