If the answer is yes, then there’s no immediate danger, no need to overreact. When Apollo 12 took off, the spacecraft was hit by lightning. The entire ...read more

    Paul mentioned two distinct areas where we are often under a yoke of slavery. 1- Enslaved to work 2- Enslaved to false thinking

    INTRO.- Enslaved. That word doesn’t sound very good. We don’t like to think we’re enslaved to anything or anyone. But all of us are under a yoke of slavery, in a sense. Do you drink coffee?

    Romans 8 is one of the most beloved and comforting chapters of the Bible. As Paul writes this chapter, he gives us a wonderful picture of salvation: adoption.

    In my NIV Study Bible, the cover and blank pages toward the front are filled with Bible verses. When I got that Bible in college, I would write on the cover and those empty pages Bible verses that I liked and wanted to be able to reference easily and quickly.

    explanation of why we don't adhere to the Levitical laws or the sacrifices. Paul teaches that Gentiles should not enslave themselves to the old Jewish Law.

    During our Bible study in Leviticus, we have been studying the laws that God gave to the Israelites as a result of the Mosaic Covenant that He made with them. When we read these laws, it is very apparent that we no longer keep many of them, but how do we know what to keep and what not to keep? If ...read more
