This past Sunday’s sermon ended with a short explanation surrounding 2 Cor 10:5, which states, “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought and make it obedient to Christ.” June 21, 2026 A remarkable thing has occurred: You are not what you… Read More »
God’s Definition Of Success
Our little church is so blessed! I was amazed by events that took place last week after I left our worship service abruptly and headed to the hospital because I was on-call. To my understanding, the Holy Spirit began distributing His gifts among you and through you. There were prayers and the laying on of… 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 »
A Tree And Its Fruit
Jesus said, “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them…Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.” Matt 7:15-17 When you read your Bibles, give yourselves time. Time for prayer, time to ask… Read More »
The Christians Relationship To Sin
The Christian’s relationship to sin is like that of a host to a parasite, or a sovereign nation to an invading army. The contrast I wish to draw here is with the unbeliever’s relationship to sin. There is nothing parasitic or foreign about it. The invasion was long-ago successful. Another ruler has set up his… Read More »
His Presence
The presence of God’s Glory is what makes us anything. He is—in us—everything. We are—apart from Him—nothing. This is how it all began with us. Before you were saved, you were already condemned. An object of scorn, full of shame, and an enemy of God. But rather than destroying us because we were these things,… Read More »
Children of Abraham pt. 4
In this final bulletin article about the phrase “God’s chosen people” as it pertains to the nation of Israel, I’m going to highlight some passages and verses that I have not addressed yet. In Ephesians, Paul speaks of a mystery that had been kept hidden (by God) from previous generations, but was being revealed by… Read More »
A Miracle Of God.
In Romans 9, Paul wrote, “It is not as though God’s word had failed. For not all who descended from Israel are Israel. Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children.” (vs 6-7) What is Paul talking about? Paul was talking about being chosen. He was talking about being born again. He… Read More »
The Spirit’s Answer
The focus of so much of my life and Bible study these days is on the Holy Spirit. This has happened to me, I believe, in answer to prayer that I could know more than I do, being better prepared as a pastor. God is the giver of good gifts. He has told us that… Read More »
Glorified
I was reading from the Gospel of John the other day and I found Jesus praying to His Father, “I have brought you glory by completing the work you gave me to do.” -John 17:4. The work He is referring to is the things He said and did, the temptation He bore when He was… Read More »
