Walk Worthily Of Your Calling (Ephesians 4:1-6) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2022

The surprising thing about this, is how Paul unpacks "worthily." It's more about living in peace, unity, and love, than anything else.

Let's start today, by simply reading our passage. Ephesians 4:1-6: Therefore , I exhort you, I, the prisoner of the Lord, worthily to walk of the calling with which you were called, with all humility and meekness, with patience, putting up with one another in love, hurrying to keep the ...read more

Keeping The Commandments Is Everything (1 Corinthians 7:17-24) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 21, 2022

You can serve God just fine, in your current state. Slave or free, married or single. What God wants, is obedience.

We've taken a little break from 1 Corinthians, and after getting back into 1 Corinthians 7, I remember why. This is a hard chapter. Paul has one argument running through the length of chapter 7. There's a thread, that's woven through its whole length. But the chapter is too long, ...read more

Head Coverings Are Not Biblical (1 Corinthians 11:2-16) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Aug 20, 2022

Women are full partners with men in worship, prayer, and service. Verses 4-10 are a quotation of the Corinthian argument, which Paul refutes.

Some of the most brilliant minds in NT studies have said that the key to the passage has not yet been unlocked (G. B. Caird). Almost ...read more

More Than A Prayer (1) - "our Father"

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on May 31, 2021

The Lord's prayer is one of the first prayer a christian learns to recite. It is a prayer guide given by Chris to his disciples. A careful consideration of it shows that it is much more than a prayer guide. It points us to who God is, from the mouth of his son.

Make The Gospel Look Good (Titus 2:1-15) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 31, 2022

How should first century Roman women, equal in Christ, act toward their first century Roman husbands? Is equality, or the gospel, more important?

Our passage today revolves around two related themes: reputation, and the good news about Jesus Christ. At first glance, you might not think that's Paul's focus. It's going to seem like Paul is talking about how men, and women, and slaves, should live in relation to one another. But ...read more

Yahweh, Joshua, and Israel are going to work together to conquer the land of Canaan. All three-- Yahweh, Joshua, and Israel-- have pledged their commitment ...read more
