How would you define powerful? Sit with that for a minute. The Greek word for gentleness is prautés (prah-oo'-tace), meaning mildness, humility, meekness. When we remain soft and gentle, we are open to seeing from God's perspective, which is so unlike our own. We're open to understanding life differently outside of our experience. It allows us to be humble, empathetic, and continually growing.

We're exploring faith today, a deep, unshakable conviction—something more foundational than personal preferences or strong opinions. We'll take a look at the biblical Greek word pistis, which reveals faith as not just belief but a trust-filled response to God's promises, even without full certainty.

If you're like me, you may have held (or hold) the belief that peace means an absence of fighting. But peace, or the concepts of peace in the Bible (as encompassed in the words "eiréné" and "shalom" - which have a richer meaning in their original language), is actually defined as wholeness or well-being in all ways, physically, mentally, emotionally, financially.

What brings you joy and delight? The Greek word used for joy is chara (kar-ah), meaning exceeding joy (joyfulness, rejoicing), also gladness, cheerfulness, calm delight. God gives us the gift of delight, of something thank-worthy, of rest, of pure joy that doesn't depend on our circumstances or good-ness.

Matthew 6:13 can be a tricky passage for some, me included. An important note here: God doesn't tempt us with wrongdoing, just so we can be punished when we choose it. Rather, He gives us opportunities to train us so we can tackle whatever we face throughout our lives, and our faith can be refined.

When have you experienced debt? I know my body feels tense when I think about that, and an urgency to resolve it. Matthew 6:12 gives us strong imagery of debt, not as a financial debt, but a moral one.

Teleó is the verb form of telos, meaning to bring to completion, to fulfill, or to accomplish. It means finishing something fully and purposefully. God's Word wasn’t just said—it was completed. There’s a powerful sense of wholeness and finality in that.

The word splagchnizomai means to be deeply moved with compassion or to feel profound sympathy. Literally, it refers to the bowels yearning—a phrase that might not resonate as clearly today. A more relatable way to express it might be "moved to your core" or "having your heart stirred." Let's dig into this.

Last fall in the Pacific Northwest, we were hit with what was called a "bomb cyclone", which is a "rapidly intensifying mid-latitude cyclone characterized by a significant drop in atmospheric pressure." Today, we're looking at the Greek word, "pneuma", which means breath or wind, but often implied a force you couldn't see.

"Charis" is linked to gratitude and is sometimes translated that way—a thankfulness sparked by favor or kindness. It shares the same root as "eucharisteo," which means to give thanks or be thankful.

Sometimes the simplest stories leave the most lasting impression. Jesus used a similar technique when he spoke to his followers. Jesus uses common, everyday imagery--one more sign that He made the Gospel accessible enough for people to relate to if they seek Him. Jesus wants to be found and to connect with us. He's not trying to make it difficult. This in itself is contrasting to the Pharisees.
