    WHEN the fire comes, don’t let it burn you; instead, let it refine you. How? Don’t be surprised or ashamed by the fire. Instead, be glad in the fire, glory in the fire, and give yourself to God in the fire.

    Please open your Bibles to Luke 2. And I would also encourage you to find Ezekiel 34, and put a bookmark there, because we are going to be opening that up a little later. Every Christmas, there is an “it” toy. The most popular toy that everyone wants, and no one can find. These days, it is ...read more

    Contributed by Barnabas Park on Oct 3, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 604 views

    People fail to recognize their sinfulness because they compare themselves to others instead of to God, ignore His grace, underestimating the depth of their sins, and underesimate God’s perfect righteous standard revealed through Christ’s sacrifice.

    The Apostle Paul proclaimed in Romans 1:17 that the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel. Before explaining in detail what this gospel is, he explains why this gospel is necessary and why God’s righteousness is needed in Romans 1:18–3:20 as follows: 1. Everyone is a sinner, whether Jew ...read more

Some don’t believe Genesis really happened believing that the book is a series of stories that were compiled to try and help us understand what happened in the ...read more
