Genesis 19 The Judgement of Sodom

There is a call from Genesis 19, to God's people throughout history, to not love the world, for it is passing away. In and through this charge we come to see the depths of sin are great, the allure of sin is powerful, and the effects of sin are real. Christ's bride must put of sin and set her mind of heavenly things.

Gensis 18:16-33 The Righteous Judge

God is a God of justice and we know this by his word and his actions. He is just, right, and good in all that his sovereign hand does. As his people, we are to know his justice and righteousness and champion them in this world.

Genesis 18:1-15

God redeems a people for himself, a people he desires to fellowship with, by the impossible. Is anything too hard for God? The answer according to the text is emphatically no! Only when it is humanly impossible will Isaac come onto the scene. Then and only then can we know that the covenant promise did not come about by human effort but was of God.

Genesis 17 The Sign of the Covenant

In a passage where God makes it clear who the covenant is between,  what the covenant is about, and how the covenant will work, we are reminded of our need for faith and repentance.

Genesis 16 Foundations of the Fatih

In this unique part of Abram's story, we come to know that God sees and hears us in our affliction. There are consequences for not submitting to God's ways and there is waiting when submitting to God's ways.

Genesis 15 A Trustworthy Promise

Amid fear, the Lord guarantees his promises will be fulfilled. Although fear is something we all face, this passage reminds us that faith exceeds fear, God's word opposes fear, and God's promises triumph over fear.

Genesis 14 The Blessing of Victory

The theme "the battle belongs to the Lord" serves to remind God's people that he is sovereign and they must trust him. In the spiritual war we find ourselves in as the church, the text reminds us to flee from sin, champion righteousness in the land, and give God the glory in victory.

Mark 11.12-21 Authentic Faith is More than Leaves

Jesus uses a simple illustration of a fig tree to relate to our Christian walk. In your daily Christian walk, are you just showing off or do you produce fruit that blesses others?

Genesis 13 Faith’s Solution To Strife

Amid strife and uncertainty, God establishes those who put their faith in him. As we consider Abram and his nephew Lot in Genesis 13, we see the difference between walking by faith and walking by sight. We are also reminded of the blessing of the promise that is given to all sons and daughters of Abram by faith.

Genesis 12:1-9 The Call of Abram

The covenant promises of God are central to the grand narrative of redemption. As the mystery of the covenants is revealed more and more, we begin to understand God's relation with his covenant people more and more as well. The call upon God's covenant people is a call to trust and obey.

Let the Little Children Come

Worship is the primary way in which we are to point our children to Christ. If this is true, we must think well about how we worship as families in the home and in the church. Let's consider the importance of family worship and the implications it has for the church.

2 Thessalonians 3 Do Not Grow Weary

At the end of Paul's second letter to the church in Thessalonica, he looks to encourage them with a reminder that the Lord is faithful to establish and guard his people.

2 Thessalonians 2 Stand Firm

Humans are fascinated with the idea of impending doom. Whether it be a zombie apocalypse or some sort of foreign creature, the thought of how things might come to an end draws our attention. For the believer, we do not have to question what the end will hold. Although we do not know the time or season, we know it is coming in the sovereign will of God. Our hope is in the fact that when the end comes, and it will come, those who love the truth will be saved. Join us as we consider the reality of the man of lawlessness and how this impacts our lives today as believers.

2 Thessalonians 1 Thanks and Prayer

God's justice gives hope to the church. While the idea of judgement tends to be negative, the judgement of God proves to be something positive for the church. The justness of God's justice is proven by persecution, the reward of God's justice is universal, and the coming of God's justice encourages faithfulness.

1 Thessalonians 5:12-28

Paul ends his first letter to the church in Thessalonica with a charge and a blessing. He charges them to support their pastors, show patience to people, and stand firm through suffering. They are to do this through the lens of the truth that God will surely bring to completion what he has begun in his people. Christ will grow his church more and more.
