For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. Romans 5:10 One of the things that the Lord’s Supper shows us is the immense love that Jesus has for his enemies. It is amazing to think that Jesus […]
When we come into contact with God’s glory, there is a temptation to hide from him. We see that Jesus wants us to do the exact opposite. He wants us not just to repent, but to go to work.
And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Mark 2:5 Sometimes Christians lose their perspective on their relationship with God. This happens whenever things are not going right physically. We may pray to God to help heal our sickness or remove our burdens. We may ask him to give us more physical […]
For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 2 Peter 1:16 It is an odd thing that people celebrate the death of a loved one. When looking back at great historical figures, people typically celebrate their birthday […]

If we are honest with ourselves, some days we struggle to engage our minds, much less to reach down to the full depths of our soul. Yet David […]
In this episode, we dive into the concept of sin. Our culture tends to excuse sin of all sorts, and wonder why God would be so judgmental as to enact the laws he has established. In this lesson, we look at the people of Israel committing a grave sin in the eyes of God. On the surface, and to the […]
having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. 2 Timothy 3:5 Organization has never been a strong suit of mine. This was incredibly obvious before I was married. Looking around my house, there was no system for where things belonged. Instead, everything had a temporary home. As a rule, the floor was the largest shelf in […]
What the Lord’s Supper Teaches Us “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age” Titus 2:11-12 When we partake of the Lord’s Supper, it is valuable to focus on how we think. “Do this in remembrance of me” […]
