The Exuberant Witness
Pastor Hamilton
The same Jesus the Jews delivered to die was raised by the Almighty and must be believed by every sinner.
God’s Grace to the Church
Mark Perry
This passage reminds us of God’s grace. While the previous two chapters describe God’s great grace shown to us in salvation and including us in the body of Christ, this section reminds us that grace is always undeserved, that God is sovereign in the administration of his grace, and this grace is a great motivation […]
A Prayer for Open Eyes
Mark Perry
History is full of stories of people who had great wealth or treasure “right under their noses” but never realized it. As believers, we enjoy a wonderful salvation as God’s children, but often we never realize just how glorious this salvation is!

Pastor Hamilton
Mankind is dying and condemned. The bleakness of the picture must be accepted before the good news can be. Hope is not recognized as hope unless one sees first a hopeless situation.

He didn’t […]
Wise Counsel for the Living
Pastor Hamilton
With all its frustrations, life can still be full of “joy” for us. Key to true joy is living for God and choosing what’s right = wisdom.
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 […]
