Ephesians 6:21-22  This week as Pastor Ron continues his series, “Spiritual Warfare,” we take a look at someone who isn’t preached about very much; Tychicus.  Do you know who he is and why it is important that God included him in the Bible record?  He is a good example of someone who loves and serves the Lord without any fanfare.

Notes:

A.  THE MESSENGER                                   

1.  Beloved Brother…

2.  Faithful Minister…

3.  Fellow Bond-servant in the Lord…(Col 4:7)

B.  THE MISSION

1.  He will inform your minds…

2.  He will comfort your hearts…

More Right Thinking

May 5, 2017 by bonlou

colossians3_1-2

Colossians 3:2 (NIV) “Set your minds on things above, not on
earthly things.”

God tells us to think about things above. To me that means to think
about Heaven and what it is going to be like for us someday. Those are
good thoughts. In Heaven there will be no more tears, sorrow, death,
sickness, panic attacks, fear, anxiety, or diseases. We will have strong, healthy,
brand new bodies.

God doesn’t want us to dwell on our feelings. Do you know that your feelings
can’t hurt you? When we dwell on them we increase the amount of adrenaline
that is released in our bodies and other uncomfortable feelings crop up. God
doesn’t want us to go over and over again in our minds how someone has hurt
us. He doesn’t want us to worry about tomorrow and the things we will have to
face. He doesn’t even want us to be consumed with getting material possessions.
God knows that these things are not healthy for us to constantly think about.
Setting our thoughts on things above also means to think about Jesus, what
he is like and all about his life while he was here on earth.

Many times in the past when I could not go to sleep, I’d make myself think
about Jesus instead of concentrating on the noises outside. I’d start with his birth
and try to remember all I could about him; how he taught and healed people,
how he died and rose again. I never got through his whole life because
somewhere along the line I’d fall asleep.

You see, that was far better for me to think about then to fret over the next
day, or about myself and my feelings. Isn’t it wonderful how God helps us to
know how we should think?
