Why Study the Old Testament?
Does the Old Testament have any authority for the Christian believer today? Why should we even try to study the Old Testament? This is actually something I have dealt with in a couple of my contexts. Some of the people say they only want to talk about that God is love and this is allContinue reading “Why Study the Old Testament?”
I Still Believe in the Power Through the Church
I have to believe in the Church. It is a vessel that has been used by God to do incredible world transformation since it’s beginnings. The Church is also still around, even though it seems like it should have died a long time ago. This week, I am continuing a sermon series, for the seasonContinue reading “I Still Believe in the Power Through the Church”
Risen & Lives Forever
Where are you in your faith in Jesus Christ? Do you believe all of this stuff you have read so far these past 6 weeks? How would you complete the statement, “Jesus is __________.”? These are questions I invite you to ponder now because if there is anything that is challenging about anything we haveContinue reading “Risen & Lives Forever”
Seeking & Saving the Lost

This is a questionContinue reading “Recovered from Easter?”
United in Grace
Click here to read Acts 15:1-35. Unless you… Believe, belong, accept, perform, think, dress like, etc. We have all been part of this kind of thinking at some point in our lives. Maybe we have said this to another person to make sure they were the “right material” for the group, the club, the organization.Continue reading “United in Grace”
People Can Change
Read Acts 9:21:31 here. We all, I’m sure, have known people who say they are going to change. And then they relapse into whatever they needed to stop. It breaks our heart and we lose trust. We begin to learn that the person “cannot” change. The reality is people change when the desire for ChristContinue reading “People Can Change”
