Are you dodging God’s truth? Romans 3:1-8 confronts false beliefs about righteousness, grace, and obedience. Paul makes it clear—God’s favor isn’t about religious effort but about faith in Christ. Sin doesn’t glorify grace; it reveals our need for it. Stop ducking and dodging—God has something better for you!

Many claim to know God, but are they truly surrendered? Romans 2:5-24 challenges both the moral and religious person, exposing hypocrisy and self-righteousness. God desires more than knowledge—He calls for obedience and genuine faith. Are you living what you claim to believe? Don’t be shattered by empty religion—surrender fully and walk in true faith!

Many believe they are “all good” because they live morally, but Romans 2 reveals the danger of self-righteousness and hypocrisy. While the secular man openly rejects God, the moral man judges others while excusing his own sin. True righteousness doesn’t come from good deeds but from a transformed heart through Christ. Don’t mistake God’s patience for approval—He calls us to repentance, not complac...

As we explore Exodus 17 we see the vital role of spiritual support and obedience. The "Armpit Ministry" highlights the importance of upholding spiritual leaders through faith and courage. We also examine the battle against Amalek as a picture of our struggle against the flesh—showing that victory requires both prayer and action. Saul’s failure to fully obey God serves as a warning that partial obe...

In today's text, we explore the transformative power of the gospel and how God's grace enables us to live in a way that pleases Him. Paul highlights the dangers of rejecting God's truth, particularly in regard to secular thinking and the acceptance of sinful behaviors like homosexuality. The church is called to be "gay welcoming" but not "gay affirming," offering compassion without compromising on...

As we continue our study through Exodus we’ve seen that God has been leading the people by using T.L.C. - Trials, learning, & compassion. The lesson continues because the testing is mean to develop trust. God uses trials and testing to develop our faith and help gain an eternal perspective. We could all use a bit more of an eternal perspective in the midst of the difficulties of life! 

As we continue in Romans, Paul emphasizes God’s righteousness, which is revealed through Jesus Christ, and contrasts human attempts to measure righteousness by comparing ourselves to others. This righteousness is not based on our deeds but on being clothed in the righteousness of Christ, accessible only through faith, not law-keeping. He explains that God's wrath is revealed against those who refu...

As we continue to study through this first chapter of Romans, we find that the good news has transformative power for our everyday life! The gospel is all about what God does in and for you, not what you do or accomplish for God. Therefore, the Christian life is started, sustained, & ends only by walking in faith. As Paul begins this letter to the church in Rome, he commends their active & vibrant...

In Exodus 15 we see the Israelites celebrating one victory God had given when He made a way for them through the Red Sea, and then being confronted with another trial. God had brought them to the desert and after three days there was no water! This can sometimes be a picture of the Christian life too. Trials expose the junk God is trying to take out of our lives and the tests are the refining fire...

We're beginning a new study through the book of Romans with the first section in chapter 1. Romans is often referred to as "The Gospel of God" because it's a book of inspiration and renewal. As Paul begins to write this book he starts by introducing the "Gospel of God," defining the Gospel and underscoring the universal need for the Gospel in everyone's life. The whole world is in need of the salv...

Today we finish our mini-series in Ephesians with an overview of chapter 5 & 6. This is where we're given practical application on how to walk in love as believers. It seems like we're prone to forget what God has done for us and we end up drifting backwards in our faith. Here's a few things we can do to guard ourselves!

Today, we’ll survey Ephesians 1-4. Here’s a few things about this church in Ephesus. God raised this church right in the middle of a bustling pagan city and it didn’t buckle! It rose to the occasion and did effective ministry  But there was a problem that surfaced and it’s something we can learn from today. It seems like when we forget what God has done for us and we’re destined to drift backwards...

In Luke 18 Jesus is telling a few stories to help people understand what the Kingdom of God is really like. As he explains and interacts with a few people, we gain understanding and receive seven lessons from the Savior that are applicable to our lives following Jesus. 

Today, our concluding study underscores the big picture of what we’ve learned over the last 2-years. We’ve seen the promise of Holy Spirit enabling the early believers to take the gospel message to the ends of the earth, all the way through the end of the book where Paul finally takes the gospel message to Rome. Here’s the main idea, if you never learned any more about serving God except for what...

In Exodus 14 God is now leading his people out of Egypt. Instead of leading them the shortest route through the area of the Philistines, He lead them out and around through the desert. Some may think this was a mistake, but it was a planned detour to teach the people about His faithfulness! As the Israelis were fleeing they began to realize the Egyptian army was following them. To make matters wor...

 Today we see Paul’s final mission take shape and this chapter records his journey to Rome. It’s been about three years since God told Paul of his final mission. In (Acts 25:12) we read of the natural steps that put this mission in motion, and Paul was finally on the way Rome. This is what the route looked like…

Tonight we see the Next Steps God gives the Children of Israel and how these steps inspire faith in us today. God speaks to Moses about how to lead His people, The Israelites, and He tells Moses to relay this message: Consecrate yourselves! In other words, Moses tells the people their obedience to God looks like this; it’s a life of faith where your home (children) and your work (animals) are dedi...

The Gospel of Luke highlights the humanity of Christ and in this section we’re studying today, we see Jesus speaking to religious criticism. Jesus teaches those who are with him by using an illustration that highlights the lack of love thru a critical spirit. Critical people often come from the backgrounds of verbal abuse or emotional abuse and become deeply selfish, which is what we see of Simon...

In the final chapters of Acts we learn how to advance the gospel personally. Today the scene continues from where we left off last week with Paul in jail. He was brought into a Roman Court by Festus (Governor) who wanted a second opinion from his buddy King Agrippa II as to what should be done with Paul. Paul didn’t violated any Roman Law, but he was a nuisance to the religious leaders of Judaism...

As we continue studying thru the Old Testament, we’ve come to the final plague – death of the firstborn. God was passing over Egypt and delivering His final blow to those who resisted Him. This 10th plague is the most devastating of all plagues – death! So far, God has been patient with people for an extended period of time, but He systematically toppled all the god’s of the Egyptians. At each exc...

As we near the end of our study in Acts, we see the conclusion of a life lived for Jesus. Paul got caught up in the legal system and from his perspective it was hinder his ministry. Yet, as we discover in scripture present set backs are often the breeding ground for next steps. Remember Paul was in custody in Caesarea waiting for his court case to be heard. His accusers were the religious elites t...

When we say, “God’s in control and working everything out in the world.” Many times that comes across as meaningless. We simply don’t understand it fully! God was patient with Pharaoh but the time came for judgment. Here’s a few simple applications as we look at a A safe country, a declining country, and where’s my country. 

Paul was a hard charging man but it wasn’t according to his human desire. The Holy Spirit placed a strong desire in Paul to get to Jerusalem. Yet in all the lead up to get to Jerusalem, Paul’s friends were telling him that it was dangerous, and jail & suffering were ahead! And they were alright! But they were missing God’s purpose. God was moving Paul forward into the next phase of his ministry. W...

As we continue to navigate thru the OT we’re working our way thru the 10-Plagues of Egypt; A series of judgments poured out by God. At the end of each of these plagues Pharaoh become more resistant and refused to give God His people! God says He had two purposes for these plagues, to show unbelievers His power (v.1) & To provide a deliverance story for His people (v.2) A Memorable moment to pass o...

In our modern culture we have a strong dislike around the thoughts of judgment! Many have embraced the sacred-secular, which views judgment as the ultimate sin and labeling judgment as an enemy of “my feelings” that guide me to what I want! “This makes me feel good… so don’t tell me it’s wrong.” Yet, in an honest reading of the Bible we learn God’s motivation behind judgment. It’s to awaken humani...
