Addison avoids visiting the city. He hates the crowds, traffic, and pace. He especially hates the compact vehicle the rental company insists he’d reserved. But then he runs into Sarah. Or, more accurately, she runs into him, mixing sweet peppers and jalapeño with burnt metal, petrol, hot pavement, and her desperation to not merely survive life in the city but find a place to thrive. Addison isn’t looking for a weekend thrill or a romantic entanglement anymore than she is. They both want to go home. Maybe, together, they’ll find their way.

You’ve Got a Friend in Me

A one day study on Philippians 1:1-18

Disney’s animated film, Toy Story, made Randy Newman’s song, You’ve Got a Friend in Me, famous. The catchy lyrics croon traits we long for in a friendship. When the road is rough, and we are far from home, we want a friend. We want someone who understands our troubles, has our best interests in mind, and who will support us forever.

Paul was that kind of friend to the Philippian church. He was a friend who sharpened others. He was a friend who said hard things and refused to tickle itching ears. His love stirred actions empowered by the Holy Spirit, and heavy burdens were lifted together proving two are better than one.

Putting on Love

A one day study on Colossians 3:1-17

You decide every day whether you will dress for the future as part of the bride of Christ or choose attire that suits a sinner.

As God’s chosen daughters, holy and beloved, we can take off anger, wrath, and malice and put on compassion, kindness and meekness. We can take off slander, lies, and obscene talk and put on humility, honesty and patience. We can put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of our Creator.
