So, what is encouragement? Well, it’s defined as “the act of giving courage, or confidence of success.”(1) I ...read more

    Marriage is a sign of the union of Christ and the Church. Don’t mess with it. You’ll be messing with your own salvation.

    Friday of the Fifth Week in Easter 2025 What does it mean to have a steadfast heart?

    The ritual and judicial commands of Torah encumber us. But we are not encumbered by the Ten Commandments--those words are for all humans

    Sixth Sunday of Easter 2025 I suppose if the church at Antioch were magically transported to the twenty-first century, Paul and Barnabas and some of the other Christian leaders might have been accused of anti-Semitism. That’s nonsense, of course, but it is true that when some Jewish Christians ...read more

    The Gospel of Accomplishment: “You must believe and live right to be saved.” The Gospel of Approval: “I’m defined by what other people think about me.” Here’s our third counterfeit gospel: The Gospel of Self-Management - “You can change. Look inside you for the power to change.”

    We continue our series on Why the Reformation matters today by looking at the importance of faith. One of the critical pieces that came out of the Reformation was the belief that Faith Alone makes me acceptable to God.

    The process of counting what a company has in its inventory is known as taking inventory. Can we apply this same process to our Christian walk?

    Taking Inventory of the Church: Paul is discussing a trip with Barnabas. Why did Paul take this second missionary journey and what was the purpose? Why would they want to go? Why should they? What has happened since his last visit? How many have been converted? He wants to go back and check on the ...read more

     | 519 views

    How we respond to God's calling is very telling of what He is doing in our lives. Will we obey the command to go and tell others how to be saved, just as the Church has been directed since the beginning? Or, will we make the grace of Christ about what we have done instead?
