Don't Waste Your Sorrows Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014

One reason God allows suffering is so we will depend on him. Suffering shows us the value of God’s grace. Sometimes we think grace was just something way back yonder when we got saved. But we forget that God’s grace is active right now, present tense.

Unlike the crowds on Palm Sunday, who hailed Jesus as king but only days later demanded that he be crucified, we need to hold on to our faith and hope in Christ. Here's why and how.

The Promise Of Justification Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Oct 19, 2018

In Galatians 3:15-18 four reasons are given for affirming the superiority of the covenant of promise: God presents its 1) Confirmation (Gal. 3:15), its 2) Christ-centeredness (Gal. 3:16), its 3) Chronology (Gal. 3:17), and its 4) Completeness (Gal. 3:18).

Many of the delightful things that we anticipate in our lives are based on promises. We enter into relationships with people we care about and in broader organizations through promises. The word “promise” itself is filled with hopeful realities. We love it when someone makes a promise. It has the ...read more

The Origin Of The Marriage Covenant

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 16, 2022

Marriage is the one institution in America that is under the most satanic attack! I believe the main reason so many couples are getting divorced is because they have forgotten the origins of the Marriage Covenant itself.
