Getting Jesus Right (John 1:1-18) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 1, 2022

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.

Intro Romans 4 naturally divides into sections: 1. Justification is by faith, not by works (vv.1-8). 2. Justification by faith is not dependent on ritual (vv. 9-16). 3. The kind of faith that leads to justification is exemplified by Abraham (vv. 17-22). 4. Justification is available now for all ...read more

Adventures In Missing The Point Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Jul 7, 2025

As Jesus makes a turn toward Jerusalem, we learn that the disciples still have so much to learn - but so do we.

In his book Mere Christianity, CS Lewis uses an illustration to note how different it is to learn something than it is to apply that thing.

He Knows My Cry

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 10, 2025

Jesus knows the deepest cry of the human soul; He entered our darkness, carried our pain, and rises as the God who hears us.

And not the gentle kind. Not the kind you can tuck into a sentence and offer politely at prayer meeting. I’m ...read more
