For a few weeks we have either been in this passage of Scripture or referring to it. It’s one of those texts that simply can’t be exhausted because it doesn’t just speak to something that God has done or that God wants us to do, it reveals more of who God is, more of His...

The reality of Jesus’ physical resurrection from the dead is of the utmost importance. We are sometimes guilty of putting so much of our attention on the cross that we take the resurrection for granted or miss it’s daily, personal importance. The Scriptures teach us very clearly that the cross proved and sealed God’s love...

Last week we concentrated on the fact that “For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” Jesus became something He was not so that He could make us something we could not be. Everything that God has done from...

What kind of king leaves his throne just so that he can make a way for others to sit on it with him? What kind of king walks through his kingdom to rescue those that are against him? What kind of king dies so that others can live? What kind of king gives his wealth...

The Scriptures are filled with stories of God speaking to people. Throughout Genesis alone there is...

There are words that we use so often that we lose the depth of their meaning. I tease my wife that her favorite adjective is “amazing” and so whether it’s a hamburger, the last episode of Downton Abbey or last week’s sermon, if she liked it you can almost guarantee that it was “amazing”. The...

What do you think of when you hear the word justice? For some of us justice is immediately about judgment, about someone getting what they deserve. For others of us justice may be a cause of fear, being afraid of getting what we deserve. Some of us think of justice in terms of our society...

Last week we started our brief look at “The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant”. Our context for studying it is to learn the heart of our king so that we can understand the nature of His kingdom; Jesus’ context for teaching it was for His disciples to learn that humility expresses itself through forgiveness and...
