Believers in Christ must live after the Spirit, not after the flesh. We may have questions about what this means. Today, Romans 8 provides the answers.

Those who trust Christ have been brought into His family. We have unity. The assignment of individuals in the church, according our text, is to maintain it.

Paul writes about the mercy he obtained through Christ in 1 Timothy chapter 1. His personal testimony should remind us of the mercy we have also received.

God is preparing to bring one man to Himself in Acts 8. He is preparing another man to use his understanding of scripture to present that other man the gospel.

We survey the New Testament for verses featuring the phrase "all things" today. These passages of scripture are packed with helpful application. 

Everyone who believes in Christ should be struggling against sin. We often fail in our struggle. When we do, God chastens us. That's today's topic.

Our passage of the day in Romans 6 reminds us why and how we are able to have victory over sin through Christ. It says we can obey daily from the heart.

After Jesus' resurrection, He meets two men on their way to Emmaus. These disciples need to hear the teaching He provides from scripture concerning Himself.

The rich man in Luke 16 had a life of comfort and ease, while in eternity he suffered only torments. Why did the beggar Lazarus experience exactly the opposite? 

When we were without God in the world, Christ died for us. He washed away our sins and made it possible for us to have a relationship with His Father. 

In Christian ministry our speaking, gifts, understanding, and even our faith mean nothing if we have not charity. We discuss what that means in this episode.
