The Lord Will Judge His People
Mark Perry
God will judge sin fully and fairly, and his righteousness does not show favoritism. This means that God hates sin—especially mine. Our only hope is to find salvation in God’s Son, who absorbed God’s righteous wrath against sin on the cross.
Living Here Below
Pastor Hamilton
With all the complexities of daily human existence, we do have some comforting truths. First, God is always governing over his creation (vv. 2–11). Second, God is faithful to bless those who fear him (vv. 12–14).
The Greatest Example
Pastor Hamilton
Jesus’ example of sacrifice is the greatest example of giving.
When Fortunes Are Restored
Mark Perry
God’s creation, marred and afflicted by sin, will one day be restored. God’s redemptive plan for the cosmos is centered in one Man, Jesus Christ. The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has […]
You Are Salt; You Are Light
Stephen King
Jesus describes the internal change his disciples undergo in the Beatitudes (vv. 3–12) and then the external results: salt and light (vv. 13–16).
Good News and Great Joy
Pastor Hamilton
Jesus didn’t leave his disciples with a question mark, but an exclamation point. The body of Christ, the church, in order to go in power and change the world, must first— Be convinced of his resurrection power. Be commissioned for global witness. Be comforted with and compelled with the Spirit’s presence.
Opened Eyes
Pastor Hamilton
Every disciple needs the encouragement and focus that comes with walking with the Lord and learning the Scriptures better. The reality of the resurrection provided the anchor for faith that the early church needed! Learn to value time in the Word where Christ still instructs and corrects us.
The Resurrection and the Life
Pastor Hamilton
Our eternal hope is tethered to Christ’s resurrection: “…Because I live, you also will live” (John 14:19). Jesus identified himself, “I am the resurrection and the life…” (John 11:25).
Counsel from a Man Who Saw It All (part 2)
Pastor Hamilton
The lesson: The enigmas and inequities of life should drive us to rest in the Lord and choose the best road before us. Ecclesiastes should be seen as a valuable tool for understanding the nature and need of man. Only then will the gospel of grace through Christ be seen as the ANSWER.
The Man in the Middle
Pastor Hamilton
Clearly the “man in the middle” was the God of the Ages. In his High Priestly prayer, God the Son could say to the Father, “I glorified you on the earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do” (John 17:4).
