Living In Freedom

Lessons from Israel of old and from the Plymouth Pilgrims help us to live out our Christian lives in 21st century America. With all the blessings we have from God and all the freedoms bestowed by Him may God help His people remain humble and grateful before Him..

The Conundrum Of Contrast

The Corinthian church found themselves in a bit of a conundrum. They were giving an ear to false teachers and closing themselves off to the Apostle Paul. They began to drift more and more from the truth of Christ. Through love, logic, and reason Paul attempts to bring them back to reality. He painstakingly labors to show them the great contrast of a minister of the true gospel and a minister who peddles the word of God for selfish gain.

The Father We All Need

Throughout Scripture God reveals Himself in many ways. He’s Lord, King, Shepherd, Savior, Redeemer, and Father. In a nation with a fatherless epidemic, more than ever our nation needs to return to God the Father through Jesus our Lord. May God bless the faithful fathers who sacrifice everyday for their families, and May He raise up more dad’s who are willing to humble themselves and follow the will of our Father in heaven.

The Prophet To Come

In the book of Malachi, the prophet tells of another prophet who is coming before the great and terrible day of the Lord. Looking through the Old and New Testament texts regarding this prophet we see clues connecting his end times ministry with his role of turning hearts back to God before Christ’s coming with power and great glory.

Glorious Typologies

The Gospel of Matthew presents events in the life of Jesus that find rich typologies in the Old Testament. From His birth to baptism and subsequent wilderness trial, the backdrop of the Israelite history and the forefathers of old sets the stage for Jesus’ life and what’s unveiled in the New Testament.
