The Lord’s Supper: Remembering Who Jesus Is

31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (Matthew 6:31-33)…

2 Peter 3 (Part 1): Wholesome Thinking, Scoffers, & The Second Coming

1 Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you.

The Power Of The Resurrection

10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. (Romans 6:10) 14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith (1 Corinthians 15:14) 18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us…

Advent: Christ Brings God’s Love Into The World

1 Peter 4 (Part One): Arming Ourselves to Suffer For Christ Means Ceasing To Sin

1 Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. 2 As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. 3 For you have spent enough time in the past doing what…

Easter: The Spirit of God That Raised Christ Lives In Me

1 Why do the nations conspire     and the peoples plot in vain? 2 The kings of the earth rise up     and the rulers band together     against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, 3 “Let us break their chains     and throw off their shackles.” 4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;     the Lord scoffs at them. 5 He rebukes them in his anger     and terrifies them…
