Ezekial 47:1-12 By Robert Krumrey The Old Testament temple was more than just a religious building for the execution of religious duties. It was THE place to experience the presence of God.

Psalm 79:1-13 By Noah Galloso Jerusalem and the temple has fallen as prophesied and now the people lament in this Psalm.

Jeremiah 7:1-34 By Christian Hogan Jeremiah pleads with the people Judah to hear God and amend their ways, but the people of Judah will not.

Romans 7:7-25 By Robert Krumrey We’ve been basking in some lofty truths over the last few weeks. We have died to sin and been raised to live under the reign of grace.

Why is this and what can be done about i...

Romans 6:15-23 By Robert Krumrey We’ve learned a lot in Romans chapters 1-5 about who we are. That we are saved from the reign of sin through the salvation that has been gifted to us by Jesus and is received by faith.

Romans 4:1-25 By Robert Krumrey Paul is telling Jewish Christians that God’s saving work is accessed merely by receiving it by faith. He’s also telling them that this is being offered to both Jews and Gentiles, again, only on the basis of faith. How can this be?

Romans 2:12-29 By Robert Krumrey We’ve been pondering the predicament of human beings and so far it’s not good.

Power of God :: Wrath Romans 1:18-32 By Robert Krumrey The gospel saves us from our sin. This is standard Christian teaching.
