We live by faith, not by sight. -2Cor 5:7. Paul’s statement is profound. By it, we know that our faith in Jesus Christ for salvation is all we need for this Christian life as well. Likewise, Peter wrote, “His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of… Read More »
Freedom In Christ
What did Paul mean when he wrote, “It is for freedom that Christ set us free” -Gal 5:1? I suppose most English teachers and skilled writers would call that a redundant sentence. I was taught never to use a word in its own definition. Paul’s use of freedom and free might lead some to say… Read More »
Who, Not How
I found the following in my journal, though I do not remember writing it. “The how of this day has been replaced by the Who of this day. I don’t have to worry about how or what will happen during this day. To abide in Christ is to dwell in the Sovereignty of the Holy… Read More »
Entrusted with God’s Secret Things
God has caused us to stay true to the Gospel of His Son Jesus. It is the good news of the unconditional love of God pouring out to us in the blood of His only Son unto death, that we could be saved. I know that I can preach no other message. I also know… Read More »
The Covenant He Has Made With Us
If I asked, “Do you know who you are in Christ?” I think you all would be able to give accurate answers. One would say, “I’m a new creation.” Another would add, “I have been set free from sin and been made holy and blameless in God’s sight.” Others would chime in, “Free from accusation!”… Read More »
The Invitation
Jesus asked, “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? Lk 11:11-12. This question is not directed to everyone. Although anyone could understand it and give a logical, proper response, Jesus was speaking to… Read More »
Make Every Effort
I used to cringe. Every time I read or preached on a certain passage from Hebrews, I would stop short of the final verse. If I went any further, I knew I would wince, closing my eyes and tilting my head back because as if to say, “Ugh, why did you add that last verse?”… Read More »
Soldiers Of The King
I don’t suppose many of you see yourselves as warriors or soldiers, do you? I know that for years, I have not seen myself in that light. But there are several passages in the Bible that speak of the church in this way. We are all involved in a war, whether we want to be… Read More »
These Three Testify
In last week’s bulletin I wrote about God’s work to lead people toward repentance. There are three contributors to this work: Creation, the Covenant of the Law, and the Holy Spirit. These three are always at work on behalf of all unbelievers. Now I would like to share with you the list of three that… Read More »
God’s Work In Repentance
There are three things at work to bring people toward what God calls repentance. This repentance—like true faith—is not of human origin. It is an action of God’s grace to reveal the truth about sin November 16, 2025 and our helplessness to stop it. True repentance is a dark place that the Holy Spirit will… Read More »
