The Day of the Lord signifies a time when God will intervene in history to judge His enemies and deliver His people.

By putting on the breastplate of …

Abraham Heschel wrote, “The real issue with prayer is how one understands God.” It’s not about the words, the form, the structure, or the formula; people have a hard time with prayer because we fail to have a proper view of God.

Jesus tells a parable about an unjust judge and a persistent widow to teach His disciples about prayer and persistence.

The return of Jesus Christ is a cornerstone of Christian faith, offering profound hope and assurance. Paul addresses the Thessalonians' concerns about death, explaining that those who have died in Christ are merely 'asleep' and will be awakened at His return. This metaphor emphasizes rest and temporary separation rather than eternal loss. The raptu…

Jesus tells a parable about two men who went to the temple to pray: a Pharisee and a tax collector. The Pharisee, considered righteous by society, prays confidently, thanking God that he’s not like other sinners. He lists his good deeds, such as fasting twice a week and tithing everything he gets. In contrast, the tax collector, despised by society…

In 'Hope in Turbulent Times,' we delve into Paul's letter to the Thessalonians, written during a period of intense persecution. Paul, despite facing numerous challenges, found joy in the faithfulness of the Thessalonians and emphasized that true joy comes from our relationship with Christ, not our circumstances. This message is particularly relevan…

Zacchaeus was despised by his community, yet Jesus sought him out and initiated relationship. This visible act of grace precedes any visible change in Zacchaeus’ behavior, highlighting a crucial aspect of the Gospel: God’s acceptance is not a reward for our righteousness, but the very power that enables our transformation.

Parables are (very broadly), “a fictitious narrative that would generally refer to something that might naturally occur, by which spiritual and moral matters might be conveyed.” There is no end to the speculation that centers on the parable that Jesus tells today. People get caught up in various theories, asking, “Is it really a parable or a true s…

This week's sermon delved into the profound themes of God's power and spiritual character, drawing inspiration from Paul's journey to Thessalonica.

The sermon emphasized the importance of…

In an insightful examination of 1 Thessalonians, we learn about the early church in Thessalonica, a city of great historical and strategic significance, founded by King Cassander. The Apostle Paul's mission there faced persecution but ultimately led to a flourishing community characterized by faith, love, and hope. Paul's letters praise the Thessal…

Jesus didn’t teach in parables because He couldn’t figure out a better way to preach. These narrative form illustrations and stories have been used by rabbis for ages. The Jews called storytelling used to illustrate a message AGGADAH; it was creating word pictures to bring a deeper understanding of God and the world. Aggadah, to the Hebrews, were k…

As Paul brings his first letter to Timothy to a close, he reminds Timothy that this life will feel like—and is—a battle. We are not to run after our own glorification, but to flee those things and pursue righteousness. Paul wants Timothy to see the difference between a Gospel culture and a religious culture. While we have peace with God because of …

Money (wealth) is one of the hardest things for most people to get their heads and hearts around. Greed is insidious, and we often don’t notice when it gains control over our lives. Jesus will even remind us to “watch out” in regard to money, because he knows of our blindness. 1 Tim 6:6-10 seems to address people who don’t have a lot of money yet w…

When it comes to correct doctrine and Biblical reasoning, it is important to understand that we (humankind) brought sin into the world and through the Gospel, God—who made the world in the first place—is remaking it through Jesus.

Paul writes what he does in 1 Timothy because he understands what the Bible says about sin and grace. Only the Gospel deals with us—as we are—and leads us to grace at the same time. Because of Jesus, we can acknowledge our sin and yet not be destroyed by it. Paul tells Timothy to continue to contend and celebrate the Gospel. WATCH FULL SERVICE ON Y…

Doctrine is about what God has handed down to us—ultimately pointing to the good news of what Jesus did and is continuing to do.

Last week in Ephesians, we explored spiritual warfare and what it means to be strong “in the Lord.” Some people think that it takes a lot of faith to believe in the spiritual realm, but not believing in it requires just as much faith.
