770: The Struggle and the Suffering (Colossians 1:24-2:7) // Colossians: All of Christ in All Things 09 (Nathan Johnson)
Struggles and suffering is simply abundant in the Christian life. We are not promised ease and safety, rather we have the hope of comfort and joy amidst the difficulties and hardships of life. When we as believers live fully for Christ, we will face persecution and trials—which Paul says we should embrace and delight in. But how? In this expositional message from Colossians 1:24-2:7 we examine the struggle and suffering of Paul and how we too can delight in difficulty and triumph in any tribulation.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/.

769: Cancel Culture? // Spiritual Lessons from Abe Lincoln's America 09 (Eric Ludy)
This is the ninth 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 addresses the complex and challenging issue of a Christian and the World — a point of intense debate and division for thousands of years in the Church. Is a Christian supposed to avoid the World and shun it completely? Is a Christian supposed to become like the World in order to reach it? Or is there a better way for the Christian to engage this thing called “The World”?

768: The Science of Stupid // Spiritual Lessons from Abe Lincoln's America 08 (Eric Ludy)
This is the eighth 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 touches on a phenomenon that many of us are witnessing right now in the world (and even in the Church), that we are struggling to understand and explain. It would appear that people’s brains are being turned off and individual thought is being replaced with culturally-correct slogans and catchwords that seem mindless and counter-factual. This is not a new phenomenon. But it is critically important that we as believers know what the Biblical response is to it.

767: The Ministry of the Mystery (Colossians 1:24-2:7) // Colossians: All of Christ in All Things 08 (Nathan Johnson)
God made Paul a minister so he might preach the marvelous message of the mystery of Christ. In this expositional message on Colossians 1:24-2:7, we explore this glorious mystery of “Christ in us” and how this mystery has been “hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints.”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/.

764: Predefined a Slave // Spiritual Lessons from Abe Lincoln's America 07 (Eric Ludy)
This is the seventh 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 explores the very unique medical mindset at the time of the Civil War that spurred on a supposed “Christian” nation in their strange and bizarre mistreatment of African Americans.

762: The Mystery of Godliness (Colossians 1:15-17) // Colossians: All of Christ in All Things 06 (Nathan Johnson)
Jesus is God in the flesh … and thus has made God known to humanity in a relational and intimate way. This “mystery of godliness” is a profound concept, but one that must be grasped in order to fully understand Jesus Christ and all He has done on our behalf. In this expositional message from Colossians 1:15-17, Nathan Johnson discusses this great mystery of godliness and explains four key characteristics of who Jesus is that Paul presents in the passage.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/.
