Christ: The Fulfillment Of The Law Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 22, 2021

One cannot have a right relationship with God apart from His righteousness and righteousness is only obtained through the only begotten Son. Once that righteousness is obtained through salvation in Christ, we are obligated to live according to the standard that God’s righteousness demands.

The Creation Of Man And Woman (Part 1 ) Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Sep 30, 2021

The common misconception is that Chapter 2 is an epilogue or secondary insertion of what may have happened at creation. It is used by those who try to impose evolution into the creation narrative to justify their stance.

The Redemptive Purpose Of Discipline Series

Paul's judgment reveals the redemptive purpose of discipline - for the sinner as well as for the purity and witness of the church.

Jesus Is Our Peace Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Nov 30, 2020

Jesus is our peace in the church. There will not be peace in the whole world until Jesus comes again. All scripture references are from the NASB.

As we move into the Christmas season, “Peace on Earth” is a common theme that you hear often. The angels praised God at the birth of Jesus and said (not singing-nowhere in the Bible is there a record of the angels ever singing – chanting maybe, but not singing) “Glory to God in the highest.

Health and long life are God’s precious gifts to us. The life of King Hezekiah is a great reminder that God hears our prayers and brings healing to our bodies. No matter what the illness we or someone close to us is struggling with, know that Jesus is our healer.

I will heal you, and in three days you will go to the Temple.” (GNB) King Hezekiah was really sick, and near ...read more
