The Spirit, through Peter, instructs Christian men to live with our wives "in an understanding way". What does he mean by this? Understanding what?

Six reasons that wives should subject themselves to their husbands.

Peter gives instruction to slaves to "suffer for doing good". How does this apply to the rest of us?

Pastor Dustin Saunders wraps up our series on missions by pointing us to the church's role in missions: sending. Why and how should churches send missionaries?

If God's Mission in Christ is the gathering in of the elect, why is it that he uses us to do that? Wouldn't it be better if the Great Commission could be completed with out us?

When we speak of the subject of missions and reaching the lost, we often think of it primarily as "going". But there is something more fundamental than going and it is God's promise to gather.

The Spirit through Peter, commands Christians to be subject to the earthly rulers wherever they live. What does that mean for people who live in a Constitutional Republic?

Living in the in between isn't as clear as we'd like to imagine. We're already with Christ in heaven and yet we still live on earth. We've already been freed from sin and yet we still have indwelling sin. The world is certain to hate the church and yet the church is to seek the salvation of the world.

Who is always delighting in the Word of God? Who is it who prospers planted by streams of water? Christian Vincze walks us through Psalm 1 to point us to Christ.

How does the Old Testament point to Jesus as the new temple? What does that mean for us?

Christians are often exhorted to "love one another". What does this mean? What is the significance of "brotherly love" in the life of a Christian?

What does it mean to be born again? Why is it something that God must cause?

The first two verses of 1 Peter introduce the author, the recipients and the God who saved them both.

This long section of Genesis deals with a somewhat out of place story (Reuben's sin) and Esau's really long genealogy. Why is this sort of thing in the Bible? What does it even matter? What does this have to do with me? As we study this passage we seek to grow in our understanding of how to read the Bible.

After Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection he ascended into the heavens to sit at God's right hand. What is the significance of this event?

How ought Christians to grieve?

In Genesis 35 we get a repeat of a lot that God has already done for Jacob. Why is this necessary? Because God's grace is dispensed liberally and repeatedly. In Genesis 35 we see four characteristics of God's grace that never change.

Jacob is a new Adam, but he's not THE new Adam, he's just another Adam. Jacob's sinful passivity and wrongful resting led to disaster for his family.

Jacob's growth in the faith, his sanctification, was incremental, not complete. Our growth as Christians is similar.
