780: Practical Holiness in Relationships (Colossians 3:18-4:1) // Colossians: All of Christ in All Things 13 (Nathan Johnson)
Relationships are difficult. Yet as believers, we are to walk in practical holiness and honor in every relationship—especially in marriage, family, and our workplaces. In this expositional study of Colossians 3:18-4:1, Nathan Johnson discusses these three important relational arenas of life and how Paul commands us to live as Christ within the complexities of relationships.

779: Balancing Over Niagara Falls // Spiritual Lessons from Abe Lincoln's America 13 (Eric Ludy)
This is the thirteenth episode in Eric Ludy’s winter Daily Thunder series that dives into the unstable season of American history known as the Antebellum period (1815-1861). This particular message unpacks the unique challenge a leader faces in having personal convictions, but leading people with opposing viewpoints. The great showman of the late 1850s, Charles Blondin, walked a tightrope across Niagara Falls. And in a sense, every great leader must learn to stay balanced and in the center in order to pull off a similar feat over their own waterfall challenges.

778: The Power of the Backwoods Preacher // Spiritual Lessons from Abe Lincoln's America 12 (Eric Ludy)
This is the twelfth episode in Eric Ludy’s winter Daily Thunder series that dives into the unstable season of American history known as the Antebellum period (1815-1861). This particular message investigates the unusual and even hypnotic power that creative, entertaining, and extreme forms of communication had upon the culture during this period. Whereas, the powers of darkness undoubtedly utilized this cultural propensity for their gain, it is interesting to note how God used this same unique magnetic pull to accomplish His ends in America.

777: Whatever You Do! (Colossians 3:12-17) // Colossians: All of Christ in All Things 12 (Nathan Johnson)
As Christians, our lives must reflect the life and character of our King. Paul says, “whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus.” In an age where Christians live for themselves, we must be conformed to the image of Christ and allow His light and life to shine forth from our lives. In this expositional study of Colossians 3:12-17, we explore what it means to put on the Lord Jesus Christ and for His life to practically be demonstrated and seen in “whatever you do.”If you are interested in joining Nathan in studying the book, sign up to receive his Colossians study guides and notes at: https://www.deeperchristian.online/colossians-bible-studyFor more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.

775: Slay the Selfish (Colossians 3:1-11) // Colossians: All of Christ in All Things 11 (Nathan Johnson)
Unless our faith and doctrine move beyond head knowledge into practical living, what good is Christianity? Paul is adamant that if we are to make Jesus first (preeminent) in every area of our lives, it must become practical. In this expositional study of Colossians 3:1-11, Nathan Johnson begins to talk about practically demonstrating the life of Christ as we slay the selfish and remove everything in our lives that doesn’t look like Him.

774: A Twist on Trench Warfare // Spiritual Lessons from Abe Lincoln's America 11 (Eric Ludy)
This is the eleventh episode in Eric Ludy’s winter Daily Thunder series that dives into the unstable season of American history known as the Antebellum period (1815-1861). This particular message dives into the fierce challenge of overcoming a two-party system and effectively expressing love and care to the other side in the battle. After all, battle is . . . um . . . battle, and expressions of love and kindness really don’t seem to fit very well amidst a melee.

When the Bully, known as the Devil, tests our mettle, what does he find?

772: Beware of Four “Spiritual” Distractions (Colossians 2:8-23) // Colossians: All of Christ in All Things 10 (Nathan Johnson)
Distractions abound around us, even seemingly good and spiritual ones. Yet as Paul cautions the Colossians, we are to beware of anything that draws us away from Christ (even if it is spiritual and good in and of itself). Join Nathan Johnson in this expositional study of Colossians 2:8-23 as we examine four false teachings the church at Colossae were embracing, and how we must guard ourselves against the very same distractions and doctrine.If you are interested in joining Nathan in studying the book, sign up to receive his Colossians study guides and notes at: https://www.deeperchristian.online/colossians-bible-studyFor more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.
