Description
Hello! I'm Allen Greeley and I love thinking and meditating on Scripture. Another word for it, which we don't use very often, is pondering. When the mother of Jesus heard the shepherds retell the vision of the angels celebratory singing; the Scripture says, "Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart" (Luke 2:19). That alone is my goal with this podcast. I want us to treasure in our hearts what we hear from God and ponder it. It would be an honor to have you listen in and ponder with me. To God be the glory!

Send Allen a text - Ponder with me—before Matthew gives us the sermon on the mount, he emphasizes why we should follow Jesus up on the mount in the first place. As it is with any Scripture, these passages don't just pop up out of nowhere. There is a powerful lead up to the sermon on the mount showing us why we need to listen to Jesus at all. One reason that we'll focus on in this episode is that Jesus is the new Moses. The details of Jesus' life are mapping on to Moses' life...and of course,...
Send Allen a text - Ponder with Bryan and I as we talk through Philippians some more. Our focus is Philippians 2:12-18 in this episode. We invite you to meditate on why negativity spreads so fast at times. We also touch on how God works within us, both to will and to work—what does it mean that God is motivating us and shaping our will? Finally, we'll also mention the ever-applicable subject of grumbling and how we sneakily hide our complaining in the form of insincere questions...I loved th...
Send Allen a text - Ponder with me perhaps the most powerful Scriptures on sanctification—Hebrews 12:14 says without it, we cannot see the Lord. Interestingly though, as a contrast, this is in context with Esau. Let's meditate on how valuing the things that are truly valuable is the only way we will grow in our sanctification. We'll think briefly about Esau's exaggeration and apply it to how we exaggerate our need for sin at times. I hope you'll join in and think with me! To God be the glory...
Send Allen a text - Ponder with Bryan and I about the mind of Christ. This subject could take up a lifetime of study but in this context, the mind of Jesus was all about service and humility. This will be the true source of congregational unity. Also, the subject of the verbs is interesting in this section - it's Christ Himself lowering Himself, but His Father is exalting Him. What does this mean for us? Ponder it with us. To God be the glory! This was shot as a video as well, if you prefer ...
Send Allen a text - Ponder with me the on-going work of sanctification. There are Scriptures that give us the indication that sanctification is a one-time deal, that it happens in conversion and it's done. Other Scriptures give us the indication it is on-going. The first part of the lesson is about how those two truths can be held together, and then we dig in on how Paul encouraged others to grow in their sanctification. And finally, what are some of the promises God has made to motivate us ...
