While We Walk by Faith The Assurance of God’s Promises God is both a Promise-Maker and Promise-Keeper, with thousands of promises in the Bible. They address every area of life—healing, provision, salvation, and more. “For all the promises of God find their Yes in him…” (2 Corinthians 1:20) Just like a promised gift is celebrated even before it arrives, faith celebrates God’s promises the moment th...

The Efficacy of the Unmixed Gospel. Because of the mercy we have received, we do not lose heart in our ministry. The gospel may be veiled to some; the father of lies has blinded their minds. Yet, God—who once said “Let there be light”—has now shone in our hearts, giving us the light of the knowledge of His glory in the face of Jesus Christ. This treasure of the gospel is carried in fragile vessels...

Ministers of the New Covenant Initially, Saul of Tarsus was a devout and zealous member of the Jewish religious elite, fiercely opposing the burgeoning Jesus movement.

In Christ, we don’t merely regain what was lost; we receive double for our trouble (Job 42:10). This is the heart of the gospel: Adam walked with God, but through Jesus, God now dwells within us. The fall of man set the stage for a greater revelation of God'...

Forgiveness, faith, and the anointing of the Holy Spirit are at the core of a victorious Christian life.
