Jesus, Filling Up Israel's Gaps (Isaiah 7) Series

Builds off Brandon D. Crowe's article "Fulfillment in Matthew as Eschatological Reversal." Broadening people's perspectives on how the NT "fulfills" the OT.

Today marks an expected rabbit trail off our rabbit trail. I'm going to try to introduce you to one of the most complicated subjects in all of biblical study-- the way the NT uses the OT. And then next week, we will inch our way back closer to the rabbit trail I'd planned on taking. ...read more

Make Me A Blessing (1 Of 3)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Aug 8, 2024

In I Timothy 6:1-12 we do not have to do any surmising when it comes to who Paul was addressing in this passage of scriptures. Although we know the letter is addressed specifically to young Timothy, yet it is clear, the thing he has to say in this passage of scripture is to the MAN OF GOD

Look at verse 11. We read, “But thou, O MAN OF GOD...” To be referred to as a “man of God,” or a “woman of God,” is one of the greatest titles that could be given to any Christian. (1) The term MAN OF GOD is often given to MINISTERS of the gospel. (2) Also, the clergyman is called THE MAN ...read more

Is God's Presence A Desirable Thing? (Exodus 20:21-26) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 14, 2022

Exodus puts two pictures of God, back to back. In #1, God is glorious, and "big," and scary. In #2, God also offers to come and be present in worship. Is this offer something we should want?

Christians often have negative attitudes about sacrifice in the OT. There's maybe four reasons for this: (1) We don't really understand sacrifice very well at all. It's foreign to us, and confusing. And I include myself in this. (2) We maybe know that the OT has a number of really ...read more

Solidify Your Spiritual Gains Series

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Jun 16, 2022

God has done some things in our own hearts. We need to solidify those things before we move to the next thing.

One of the things I like about GraceWay is that there's real openness to single people. I don't know, we maybe take that for granted here. But in some churches single people have a hard time breaking in. You know, finding places to serve or participate or grow or connect. GraceWay has a lot ...read more

Taking Heed To God's Word Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 4, 2022

The evidence of our Christian sincerity is demonstrated in the way we treat one another. God's word to His people is that we would love our neighbor as ourselves. Zechariah confronts this matter with a reminder of Israel's historical experience.

In Zechariah 7 a delegation came from the Jews in Bethel asking the question: “Should I mourn and fast in the fifth month, as I have done for so many years?”i During the 70 years of exile in Babylon, the Jews had been observing four fasts in memory of the destruction of Jerusalem. The most ...read more

Authentic Versus Counterfeit Faith (Part I) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on May 20, 2024

Justification is by faith alone. But we must be sure that the faith we are operating in is the biblical faith Paul is talking about in Romans 4. The authentic faith of Abraham is described in verses 16-22. This description is examined.

Intro Jesus made an alarming statement in the Sermon on the Mount: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out ...read more
