Freedom (Galatians)

Contributed by Laura Martin on Jun 30, 2020

A walk through the book of Galatians. Are you living free – and not as a slave to the law or to sin?

Favor In The Field Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 1, 2020

As Ruth gleaned in the field of one she had yet to meet, she was unaware of the providence of God regarding her situation. The Lord had led her to a place where she would be noticed by Boaz, the man who would serve as her Kinsman Redeemer.

Favor in the Field Ruth 2: 4-7 As I pondered these verses I was reminded what a difference a day can make. It is amazing how God can take what appears to be an ordinary or even uncertain circumstance and work it out for our benefit. Ruth had made the long journey from Moab to Bethlehem ...read more

Brought Before Pilate Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 5, 2018

As Jesus stood before Pilate and His accusers, they were astonished at His silence. The King of glory stood before them, and yet they failed to see Him. He was committed to the cross, to provide our redemption.

We Are Made Righteous By Faith (Second Sunday Of Lent, March 5, 2023)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2023

How would you like to take a test that had a different rule for success? Instead of so many points for an “A”, so many for a “B” and so on, the success of the test would be based on an “all or nothing rule”. So you would have to get a 100% to pass on every test every single day.

WE ARE MADE RIGHTEOUS BY FAITH Text: Romans 4:1-5, 13-17 Romans 4:1-5  What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter?  (2)  If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. ...read more
