The resurrection of Jesus is the turning point of the story—death is only half the sentence. The cross pays for sin, but the empty tomb declares victory, revealing Jesus as…
Prayer is the believer’s primary weapon and constant lifeline, not a last resort but a first response. It reveals real faith in moments of pressure and should become second nature…
We must be sober and ready, clothed in the armor of God. And today, we heard about the shoes—“the readiness given by the gospel of peace” (Ephesians 6:14-18). Peace—what…
This sermon, rooted in Ephesians 6:12, explores the true nature of conflict in our lives. While it often seems that our struggles are with other people—family, friends, coworkers, or even…
In chapter three, Paul the author, pauses to give a snapshot of his life and current conditions to his readers. In this text we get a window into the mind…
Everyone asks at some time, if God created everything who created God? These
are fundamental questions that often get asked by children when they are
young. Dr. Ross explains using the space time continuum to demonstrate that
God, the triune Creator, must transcend the created universe.
Ephesians is brilliant. It is the revelation or uncovering of the master
plan of Jesus to unite heaven and earth, Jews and Gentiles, for a lasting mission
of good works. The themes of Ephesians of adoption, heirs with Jesus, Spirit,
resurrection power and so many more enlighten the believer’s faith and equip
them for every good work.
In the hustle and bustle of the Christmas holidays we can forget the
supernaturally wondrousness of the birth of King Jesus. Re-read the Bible’s presentation and allow God to rekindle wonder.
The church at Thessalonica is a model of church success. This leads to the big question: why? At the end of Chapter 2 we get the answer. It is God’s Word, Suffering, War, and the Win.
Spiritually mature Christians adjust their attitude and mindset onward; they have a forward looking mindset. We are to follow Paul’s and other mature Chrisitan's example of making spiritual things a priority in their lives by developing an upward perspective.
Paul leaves Thessalonica after only 3 weeks and into that vacuum of leadership comes accusations leveled against him. He uses chapter 2 to defend how he ministers and gives us a brilliant path to follow.
Everyone needs examples. The Thessalonian believers were able to look at Paul, Silas and Timothy and then through difficulty, repentance, patience and God’s word they became the models for the entire region.
Pastor Douglas Mukisa from New Song Fellowship shared his journey to salvation in Christ and the call of Christ to the slums of Kenya.
Amos is a prophet who uses his voice for the poor, used, and overlooked. He demonstrates that God cares about justice and gives us the hope of a coming King and Edenic Kingdom that will ultimately remedy the human problem.
Nahum is the sequel to Jonah. The Ninevites have repented of their repentance and have become a national bully. God’s longsuffering runs out and in its place is God’s wrath. Nahum forces us to wrestle with how to respond to God’s anger.
The final chapter of Colossians is personal and practical. Paul names his own Kingdom Team. It begins with Jesus as captain and then includes Jews, Gentiles, males, females, superstars, doctors, felons, and one quitter. The big idea is there’s room for anyone on Team Jesus.
Motives mold us and the practice of secrecy can refine our motives and prevent us from becoming modern Pharisees who only care about appearing whitewashed. Jesus in the Sermon on…
Happiness is a treasure that people will try to steal. Philippians 3 warns us to look out for three types of thieves. Even better, Philippians 3 arms us with truth…
