This passage of Scripture presents Christ in the stunning reality that He is truly God and truly man. He is the Savior God who took on human flesh and soul and truly obeyed the Father for our salvation. His obedience took Him to the depths, even unto death, even death on a cross. But this is not where the story ends. The Father then gave to Him supreme exaltation, supreme name, and supreme worship...

The eternal Son of God became truly human, but what does this mean? Hebrews 2:5-18 reveals that in the incarnation, Christ became like us in all things (both body and soul), endured temptation, and tasted death for His people. The incarnation was heaven’s answer to our call for divine intervention. God in flesh did come down from heaven to provide not mere temporary relief, but true eternal salvat...

In this opening message of our Christology series, we turn to the person and nature of Jesus Christ. Hebrews 1 presents a breathtaking vision of the deity of Christ: He is the heir of all things, the agent of creation, the radiance of God’s glory, the exact representation of God’s nature, the sustainer of the universe, the co-regent with God, and the one far superior to angels. These seven truths...

Paul anchors the church’s practice of male leadership in three doctrines: creation (Adam first, then Eve), the fall (Eve deceived, not Adam), and salvation (“the childbirth” that points to Christ). See why the church upholds male leadership, how Jesus the second Adam fulfills the role Adam failed to play, and why “a woman will be saved through the childbirth” is good news for all who abide in fait...

God has designed and ordained the church to be the place where disciples are made. This purpose of God includes, not excludes, women. Even as Jesus taught women, so the church of God is to let women learn and mature as disciples of Christ. This matter of women’s role in discipleship is what Paul addresses in this passage. Four facets of his instructions are expounded in this sermon: learning (disc...

As God’s redeemed community, the church is to engage in profound spiritual worship, giving God all our attention and praise. Given this aim of our corporate gathering, even our attire should be ordered toward this singular objective. This means practicing self-restraint and sound judgment, even in the very practical matter of clothing, but doing so without pharisaism or overzealousness. This is ne...

During our 2026 summer retreat, we gave attention to this beloved psalm. Before David became king over Israel, he was a shepherd boy. In the fields, he gained firsthand knowledge of the skill, vigilance, courage, and care required to tend sheep, which prepared him to lead a nation. Drawing on that experience, David presents the LORD as the expert and faithful Shepherd of His people. Psalm 23 remin...

For the first time in history, God had formed a redeemed community on earth. How, then, were they to live? What kind of worship would please Him? How were men and women to worship Him in spirit and truth? Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles, the teacher of the nations, gives us the answer. God wants His redeemed people to draw near to Him as a people unpolluted by sin, marked by repentance and sanct...

God’s gracious purpose and saving work intersected at the cross. There Christ, the one Mediator, gave Himself as a ransom for all, and by this singular act revealed the Father’s tender heart toward the lost. When we are tempted to question whether God cares for us in our weakness, grief, and struggles, we must look again to Calvary and rest in the sure proof of His love. This testimony of grace wa...

Convictions are the roots that hold and steady the tree of compassion. Paul underscores three deep convictions that undergird compassion for the lost: one God, one Mediator, and one Ransom. In this study, we give thoughtful attention to these three biblical truths that move us to pray and labor for the salvation of the lost. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

God desires all people to be saved. This fundamental truth about God our Savior had grown dim in the church at Ephesus, and Paul seeks to restore it by calling believers to pray for the lost. Here is where our hearts begin to align with the heart of the God of salvation. As beloved children, we are to share His concern, calling those who are not walking with the Lord to reconciliation with Him and...

Scripture teaches us that every church is a witnessing community of believers who need to make disciples of all nations. Every church has a mission to reach the nations with the Gospel and to announce to every creature that Christ has made redemption through his blood and that by repentance and faith, each can receive the remission of sins and entrance into the kingdom of God.

Paul’s message in 1 Corinthians 2:1–5 is that genuine faith must rest on God’s power, not human wisdom. In a culture obsessed with eloquence, status, and intellectual achievement, Paul deliberately rejected rhetorical showmanship and resolved to preach only Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Though he ministered in weakness, fear, and trembling, the Holy Spirit powerfully worked through Paul's gospel...

The LORD God is immutable. This is the resounding testimony of Scripture. As for statements that the LORD changed His mind, relented, or was sorry, these are anthropomorphic and anthropopathic descriptions of God. The immaterial, invisible, and immutable God does not literally undergo such changes. All of this reveals that the LORD is truly the everlasting Rock, and we can (and must!) place our tr...

What can we know about God? Scripture teaches that He is the absolute Creator and the absolute Being—self-existent, self-sufficient, a se, and self-defining. He is simple and one, not composed of parts but wholly identical with His attributes; He is divinity itself. As such, He alone is the true God, and there can be no other. Therefore, let us guard ourselves from every false conception of deity...

In addition to spiritual warfare, Paul introduces a second metaphor—seafaring—to highlight the gravity of maintaining a good conscience. Just as a careless captain can lose his ship through neglect, so a person who fails to nurture and guard his conscience shipwrecks his faith. Paul cites two men who did precisely this: Hymenaeus and Alexander. These two were handed over to Satan—disciplined out o...

We are all soldiers of Christ in a spiritual war. Satan not only opposes men like Timothy but all God’s people. The call to fight the good fight has implications for all believers. We are all to take up the full armor of God and resist the devil’s schemes. In this passage, Paul highlights the two aspects of this basic Christian fight: faith and a good conscience. We must fight for faith and we mus...

Christian life and love are meant to flow from the fountain of gospel gratitude. It is as we brim over with thanksgiving and praise for mercy and grace that we exude the life of Christ and manifest His love. Paul warms our hearts through his own testimony of how the gospel truth transformed his life. May the Lord teach us to live with gospel gratitude. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for mo...

On this Mother’s Day, we turn to the book of Ruth and its beautiful story of redemption. To redeem means to free by the payment of a ransom—deliverance that assumes a desperate plight. In this story, we encounter both the stunning devotion of a woman to her mother-in-law and the greater reality of spiritual redemption that ultimately points us to Christ. Join us as we consider: 1) Naomi’s plight,...
