  Crossing Another Mile Marker

On a recent trip, we were traveling with several vehicles. Over the course of time and in the midst of traffic we eventually became spaced out. It was helpful to communicate with one another what mile marker we each were at so that we could keep up with one another!
We are journeying through Scripture with so many of you and it is a wonderful trip. This week I have met so many people who are listening to the daily studies and they have been a great encouragement to me. Not everyone is on the same “mile marker” so I thought it would be helpful to let you know where I am – and where we are going next.
  • Today we conclude our extended study on Spiritual Stories: The Parables Jesus Told and Their Application to Us. The time spent in Jesus’ parables has influenced my personal walk and I hope they will continue to be a help to you. Please take the time to listen to the concluding episode called “My Takeaways.” (Like all of our series, We archive each episode for future study at enjoyingthejourney.org/broadcast.)
  • Thursday is July 4. As we celebrate the Independence of our nation, we give God praise for His mercy and pray for divine intervention in these perilous days. A special ETJ edition will be available. It is an “off” day for many people as they spend time with family. I would encourage you to listen together to tomorrow’s study: “Pray for Nero.”
  • Friday will be a very unique broadcast and a rare, informal conversation with our listeners. I look forward to sharing several exciting things God is doing. We are also announcing a new interactive feature for the podcast that I trust will be a blessing to many. Don’t miss this episode!
  • Saturday we continue our Weekend Pulpit series in 1 Corinthians 10. This sermon series began last week and comes from a recent meeting in Michigan.
  • Monday we start a brand new series on JOY! For the next several weeks we are going to walk through the Old and New Testaments to discover the secret to the joy of the Lord. These are miserable days for many people, but God’s people can have His joy! I hope you will join me as we dig into both the principle and provision of divine joy.
Thank you for your prayers, support, and encouragement. It is a privilege to be a fellow traveler with you on our journey and I look forward to the day we all get to sit down together at the Father’s house.
Enjoying the Journey,

A journey through 1 John reveals our place in the family of God, how we can have assurance, and that our joy is rooted in Christ.

Journey through 1 John

“Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.” (John 1:47-48)

Why the Story of Nathanael Sitting Under the Fig Tree Matters

It also discusses the Four Sermons in Haggai It is in that context that God raises up the prophet Haggai with four sermons in four months. The Word of the Lord comes to Haggai, and he preaches four sermons. Each one of them is dated for us. Each sermon targets a different problem. You can read them in Haggai chapters one and two. In his first sermon (Haggai 1:1-15), Haggai preached on the danger of waiting when we should be working. They were waiting for a sign to build. He said, You don't need a sign, you need to obey God. Haggai's second sermon (Haggai 2:1-9) explained the danger of lamenting the past and missing the present. They were sorrowing over the destruction of the past temple. God said, Build a new one. It was G. Campbell Morgan who said, “It is impossible to unlock the present with the rusty key of the past." Many people are bogged down in their past and miss the present. Keep in mind what is at hand and what is ahead. The third sermon he preached (Haggai 2:10-19) described the danger of seeing only the material and neglecting the supernatural. They could see the work that needed to be done, but they missed the fact that God had resources that would help them get it done. The Lord was behind all of this. The fourth sermon (Haggai 2:20-23) warned against the danger of recognizing who is against us and forgetting who is for us. They were concentrating on the opposition and forgetting that “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). A journey through Haggai shows us the importance of performing the work that God has told us to do, and His glory in our obedience. Image leads to an overview of Haggai
