"All Things New": Weekly Leader Training—Unit 34, Session 4: Pressing Toward the Goal
Paul expressed how much joy the Philippian believers’ gospel partnership brought him and reminded them that their sovereign and faithful God would keep them to the end (1:3-6). He prayed that God would cause their love to increase so they would stay pure and blameless, full of the fruit of righteousness (vv. 9-11). That’s what the Holy Spirit does...

“All Things New”: Preschool & Kids Leader Training for Unit 34, Session 4—Running the Race
I have never been a farmer or a soldier. I imagine I am not alone. Because of this, when the Bible uses these as metaphors for living in faith, I can understand them, but only to a point. I can understand them conceptually, but not experientially. But when Paul talks about an athlete training or running a race—now, that’s...

"All Things New": Weekly Leader Training—Unit 34, Session 2: Continuing Through Opposition
God had a plan for Paul, and what God decrees will always come to pass (see Isa. 46:9-10; Eph. 1:10). As we see Acts 23, Roman soldiers protected Paul from harm and death, but God is the One who sends protection. He also is the One who reveals His plan in His time. Cutting through the chaos, the Lord...

“All Things New”: Preschool & Kids Leader Training for Unit 34, Session 2—Paul Was Arrested
We have a nagging tendency to equate “good” with “easy” and “bad” with “difficult.” If something is easy and comfortable, we see it as good. But if something is difficult and uncomfortable, we see it as bad. Seeing Good and Bad More Clearly While there are times when easy is indeed good and difficult is indeed bad, there are...
