You’ve Been Grafted Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 8, 2021

Go! And Have The Mind Of Christ Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Nov 5, 2025

In a world obsessed with status, self-promotion, and influence, Jesus calls us to the opposite mindset - releasing our grip on personal rights, comfort, and ambition, so that the glory of God may be revealed through our obedience.

Go! And Have the Mind of Christ Philippians 2:5b–7 (NLT): “Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human ...read more

Putting To Death The Sins Of The Flesh

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 10, 2024

We have no reason to say that we are caught in sin, because we don’t have to. That’s what it says. We are under no obligation to agree with the sinful nature when it wants to do something bad. Instead, the Spirit makes us free.

We’ve been building a structure, and it’s based around what it means to be a follower of Jesus. We’ve talked about the fact that a Christian walks by faith, trusting in God and following God’s leading even when it seems odd or strange. We’ve talked about how a follower of Jesus seeks and ...read more

An Attitude Of Gratitude

Contributed by Dr. Madana Kumar, Phd on Nov 24, 2017

Circumcision Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 22, 2024

Using OT Scripture, Paul proves in Romans 4:9-12 that circumcision is not a prerequisite for justification. Justification is by faith alone. Vital principles applicable today are taught in this passage of Scripture.

The kind of faith that leads to justification is exemplified by Abraham (vv. 17-22). 4. Justification is available now for all ...read more
