Baptism Means Walking With God (January 9, 2022)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 11, 2022

Why did Jesus get Baptized if He was without sin? Jesus got baptized because He came to identify with the sinners He had come to save. In fact, it is through Baptism that sinners and the grace of God meet.

No Other Gospel

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 11, 2019

To add anything to the gospel of the grace of God is to deny the efficacy of the Cross of Jesus.

NO OTHER GOSPEL. Galatians 1:1-12. From the outset, the tone of the Apostle Paul’s letter to “the churches of Galatia” (Galatians 1:2b) is one of disappointment. The opening signature “Paul, an apostle” is immediately followed by a negative assertion - “not from men nor through man”; and a ...read more

Letting The Gospel Shine Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 25, 2011

1st Corinthians 11 is one of the most controversial and misunderstood sections of Paul's writings. We'll explore it using culture, context, character, and language to find out what Paul is and is not saying to the Corinthians and to us today.

The first thing to know about this section is that it is not about marriage or the role of women in the church. It is about having respect in worship for each other within our culture.
