When representative of the Israelites sinned, God's wrath turned against all those he represented. Likewise, God's is ter...

Does Christian need sanctification? Do Christians care about following the law of God? Pastor Jared preaches that sanctification is still about the Gospel. The Gospel gives us sanctification and justification.

Pastor Jared goes through the Golden Chain explaining how the Gospel takes all the way to heaven, always taking care of us on the way there. The common myths about God loving those who help themselves fly in the face of this passage in the Bible. Similarly, this passage makes it clear that those that Christianity is not a religion that relies on the good works of the believers. Instead, it is abou...

Is it true that "God helps those who help themselves"? According to Jeff Karel, that is terrible theology.

Jeff Karel explains the dangers facing the author of the song of ascent. According to Jeff, this psalm shows that the hill is not where God is and one might get help if he just musters enough strength to climb the hill. Rather, the hill is where the danger, uncertainty, death and devil lurks and God is the keeper and protector as we face those dangers. He is with us, even in the valley.

What is the best way to comfort believers? How can we derive comfort and assurance for ourselves and for others? What--if any! --theological or psychological techniques or methods do we need to use? What if we did not need anything special to derive comfort? Pastor Jared discovers a proven but long forgotten trick taught in Scriptures. No matter how hopeless the case, this tricks always gives hope...

Jeff Karel explains the doctrine of reprobation as traditionally understood.

Pastor Jared explains how a Christian can become a mature disciple. Though this fact was a given to many in the past, to the surprise of the contemporaries, going to church and hearing the preaching of Christ is how one becomes a disciple and a mature Christian. True piety is not from a personal, 15-minute-long devotional, but from a faithful attendance of a true church that preaches Christ.

Jeff Karel explains that the doctrine of reprobation is a great comfort to believers. However, many pastors twist the doctrine or preach it out of season, thereby leaving God's church without the comfort. Jeff Karel explains how this doctrine can comfort believers during times of loss of loved ones.

Pastor Jared describes a story of God's chastisement and deliverance of David. God chastened to preserve David.

Life is full of predicament and application of God's law is not always black and white. Pastor Jared discusses predicaments David faces when deciding how to deal with Absalom, who must die as a punishment for killing his brother.

The story of Amnon and Absalom is the story of God letting men do whatever they want as He delivers them to their own sins.

Rev Beaird describes how Palm Sunday shows believers the Gospel, the one that is about what Christ did for our us, as part of his active obedience and sacrifice.

Intentional sin has no cure. People who sin intentionally are cursed. Believe in Jesus, He was cursed for believers. Believe unto Christ and you shall be saved!

Jeff Karel explains unconditional election and why other explanations of Biblical the passages are overcomplicating salvation and are nothing but logical knots.

Jeff Karel explains that God did not chooses a person towards salvation not on account of that person's work, potential or any other reason in the person but only because of God's own good pleasure.

Election is a comforting doctrine. God chooses people not based on works or foreseen works, but God's mercy. Apostle Paul is a great example of this fact.

Pastor Jared explains the importance of covenants and vows in the Scriptures. From something as simple as being faithful to one's friends, church and wife to the instrument of God's faithfulness in saving His people, covenants are mentioned throughout Scriptures.
