    The Role of Women

    October 16, 2021 And now…. Luke. As with the other Gospels, Luke does not identify himself as the author of the book that bears his name. Biblical evidence, however, points us to Luke, the Physician, as the author {see Acts 1:1 and Colossians 4:14}. Luke: • Was written in Greek • Was written ...read more

    So why is it so important that we have a book of the Bible named Ruth? Because of the redemption story. It parallels our own redemption story. Ruth was cursed as a Moabite. We are cursed as children of Adam.

    Why is it so important for us that we have a book of the Bible named Ruth? Why are the last verses of the book of Ruth almost the first ones opening the New Testament? The first three chapters of Ruth start to answer these questions, but chapter 4 gives us clarity on the reasons why. The Book of ...read more

    This is no time for fear, no time for cowardice, and no time to quit. Instead, it’s a time to take a deep breath and march forward into battle.

    Preach the Word! II Timothy 4:1-5 I’d like to begin by calling your attention to verses 3-4 of this passage.

    Instead of seeing them for who they were, Judah blames Tamar for their deaths. Because he blamed her, he outwardly played the respectable father-in-law part for society but he inwardly and secretly deceived his daughter-in-law. Judah doesn’t want to admit what a mess his family is.
