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.
We have a lens that interprets all that we hear and read. Scripture has
a lens over it from 400 years of theological battles and 200 years of American
culture. These two can distort what Scripture actually says. In this text we look at
the Bible’s Greatest Hit and if we hear this song Scripture sounds amazing.
After discussing two difficult subjects of hell and the Antichrist, Paul
offers a practical guide to staying strong in the face of intense persecution.
In a book about hope, why would the first subject be God’s judgment
in sending people to hell? In this text we learn about evidence of God’s righteous
judgments that will bring hope to every believer.
The thriving model church at Thessalonica has lost hope and the
Apostle Paul pens his second letter to both theologically and practically reignite
the hope they had in King Jesus.
The church at Thessalonica is told to not do sex like the people who don’t know God. Paul had previously instructed them to control their bodies in holiness and honor. We attempt to unearth the weapons that they would have used to exercise body control.
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.
In Psalm 119, the Psalmist uses 176 verses on a single subject: the beauty and benefits of God’s word. The Psalmist’s goal is the same as our goal for Edgewater; to be a Church who approaches scripture seeking its greatest benefit.
As we watch our society shift and change it can be easy to want to disengage and run. But is there a better way? Jeremiah the prophet battles this mentality when God gives him the remedy and the recipe for exiles to thrive in Babylon.

Words in Scripture have power to create. Truthful words create reality and trust. Lies create ruin and broken relationships and are from the evil one himself. Jesus’ mandate for believers…
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…

Philippians concludes with a brilliant understanding of the place for riches. Paul says the goal isn’t to be rich or poor but to learn to be content. He goes on…
Jesus is invited to dine with the “in crowd” of religious rulers. It is an attempt to set Him up, discredit Him and bring Him down. Instead Jesus uses the…
