This Jesus. . .
Pastor Hamilton
Jesus appeared to his disciples and taught them about their upcoming mission. Jesus also promised to return, answering their question about the timing of his kingdom.
God’s Reminder
Pastor Hamilton
How Jehovah-God affirmed his commitment to his people is moving and powerful. What a memorial to his loving-kindness! God showed power and sent prophets to prove irrefutably that he was able to deliver Israel. They had no reason to doubt him. God doesn’t need to write himself a note so that he doesn’t forget. He didn’t […]
On That Day
Mark Perry
The biblical message of the coming Day of the Lord fills our hearts with confident faith, because even as we live in a sin-cursed world, we “walk by faith, not by sight,” knowing our eternal home is with Jesus (2 Cor 5:6–8). It motives us to eager prayer and fills our lives with longing for this redemption […]
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.
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.

Continue in the Faith
Pastor Hamilton
Paul was committed to the faith (vv. 1–7), he communicated the power of the Gospel (vv. 8–18), the church was encouraged to continue in the faith (vv. 19–23), and the sending church heard the report (vv. 24–28).
Counsel from a Man Who Saw It All (part 1)
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.
Give Me Your Heart: the Message of Deuteronomy
Mark Perry
God’s Law for Israel was never intended to be rote obedience or even a way to earn favor with God. Obedience was always meant to be an overflow of a heart of love for God. This is why Jesus summarized the Law as loving God supremely and loving others selflessly (Matt 22:38). We must avoid the […]
Remembering the Rock (part 2)
Pastor Hamilton
God is altogether faithful (vv. 1–14), but he is also completely aware of our failings (vv. 15–18).
