The Bible is Beneficial

Not only is the Bible the inspired Word of God and truth without any mixture of error, the Bible is also highly beneficial and useful to our lives. The apostle Paul and David both describe, in great detail, the many benefits of Scripture. (2 Timothy 3.16-17 and Psalm 19.7-11). October 27, 2019

The Authority of Scripture

Even if we believe Scripture to be the inspired Word of God and truthful without any mixture of error, why must we submit our lives to its teachings? Why should we treat the Bible as an authority in our lives? (Matthew 8.5-13) - Guest preacher is Rami Ibrahim.

The Bible: Truth Without Any Mixture of Error

Is the Bible “truthful without any mixture of error” or is the Bible a “mixture of truth and error”? This question becomes even more difficult to answer when we come to passages in the Bible that are hard to understand, hard to accept, or hard to obey. But to twist the Scripture is to bring destruction upon ourselves. Why should we believe the Bible is faithful and true? (2 Peter 3.14-18) – October 13, 2019.

Why Should I Believe the Bible?

How is the Bible unique from all other religious books? Why should we believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God? (2 Peter 1.16-21) - October 6, 2019

The Gospel and Immigration

How does God’s divine eternal plan to create one household of faith impact how we think and feel about immigration? How do we think biblically about this important and divisive topic? Through Leviticus 19.33-34, we learn that the gospel is an immigration story, that God commands us to love the immigrant as ourselves, and that God is growing the church through immigration. (Leviticus 19.33-34) – September 29, 2019.

The Light Rising in the Darkness

God is a God who practices steadfast love and justice in the earth, and He calls His people to work to loose the bonds of wickedness. Today, we take a look at the global bonds of wickedness, specifically, the darkness of modern day slavery and the soil in which it grows. And while these bonds look dark, there is a light rising in the darkness. And the people of God can and should be part of this rising light. (Isaiah 58.1-10) September 22, 2019

The Failure of the White Church

As hard as it is to confess, the white church in America has failed to embrace our black brothers and sisters in Christ as fellow citizens and members of the household of faith. Historically, we have built up the dividing wall of racism that Christ came to tear down. This morning, we try to do what Daniel did in his prayer, to confess the sins of our fathers. In doing so, we discover that racism is endemic to our sin nature, to have sympathy for the lasting impact of racism, to have a caring ear to the concerns of others, and to develop courage that the white church has historically lacked. (Daniel 9.3-8) September 15, 2019.

The Gospel and Racism

Racism has been the dividing wall of hostility among humanity since the fall of mankind in the Garden. But the good news of the gospel is that Jesus Christ has come to destroy that dividing wall and create one household of faith. However, this truth has always been hard for the church to fully embrace. Why is it so hard to rightly understand and rightly apply the gospel? (Galatians 2.1-16) September 8, 2019.

God’s Strategy

God’s divine eternal plan is to build one household of faith from every nation, every tribe, every people group, and every language through the atoning death of Jesus Christ on the Cross. But what is God’s strategy to get the message of the Cross to those who are far away from God? (Ephesians 2.11-22 and Romans 10.8-17) September 1, 2019

Jehoiachin: Longing for Something Better

The Book of Kings ends in a weird way. After telling the story of the Fall of Jerusalem, the Book of Kings tells us about one insignificant king who only reigned for 3 months and wasn’t even the last king. But he was shown grace 37 years after his exile. This strange ending is meant to cause us to long for something more, something better? But who, or what, are we left longing for? (2 Kings 25.27-30) August 25, 2019
