The Battle Begins

Monday, April 05, 2010

You’ve probably heard that common adage, “I’m a lover, not a fighter,” and perhaps you thought it rather pithy. Most people do. But I’ll bet that if the Apostle Paul had heard that during his day, he would have challenged the statement immediately! He tells us clearly in Romans 7:14-17 that every Christian is engaged in a war against sin; our love for God is directly proven by how well we do on that battlefield.

Christians are lovers . . . and fighters!

Esther: The Shadow Sovereign

Scandals abound in a drama cast in the ancient Persian Empire. In the midst of political intrigue and betrayal, a beautiful orphan girl suddenly becomes the leading character, as God’s providence rescues His people from certain death. At first glance, Esther is the heroine and Mordecai the master manipulator. Take a closer look, however, and you’ll discover that behind the scenes, God is pulling the strings as His sovereign providence unfolds.

Following graduation from Dallas, the Daveys moved their young family to Cary, NC in 1986 to found Colonial. From the beginning, Stephen preached in an expository style, and as word spread of the church's solid scriptural foundation, the new fellowship began to grow.

Both morning and evening church services are streamed through the Colonial website: live services on Sunday and archived sermons. Stephen also serves as the president of fully accredited Shepherds Theological Seminary, directing Wisdom for the Heart and fulfilling his primary ministry duties as pastor/teacher of Colonial Baptist Church. The beautiful campus with its colonial-style buildings is home to both the church and the seminary.
