The What, Who, How, and Why of the Gospel (Romans 1:16-17)

The gospel isn’t something we do.  The gospel isn’t something we live.  The gospel is an announcement of good news.

More Than Mere Pleasantries (Romans 1:8-15)

As a bondservant of Christ, Paul knew he was obligated to Christ.  Being obligated to Christ, Paul knew he was obligated to those for whom Christ died.

It All Starts WIth A Greeting (Romans 1:1-7)

It’s been called the Mount Everest of Paul’s letters and it all begins with a simple but profound greeting that tells us who Paul was, who Jesus is, and who we are.

You Are My Shield (Psalm 3)

We end 2024 and look to 2025 in Psalm 3, a song of hope for those in hopeless circumstances.

Jesus, The One Who Was Given (Isaiah 9:1-6)

Christ was the child that was born and the Son who was given that would change everything for us.

Jesus, The One Who Reigns (Revelation 19:1-16)

We should worship God as He is, as He deserves, and as He desires because He is our sovereign King who has rightful authority over us.

Jesus, the One Who Intercedes (Hebrews 4:14-5:10)

We should look away from ourselves and our circumstances and look to Jesus our Great High Priest.

Jesus, the One Who Speaks (Deuteronomy 18:15-19)

He was promised.  He came.  He is coming again.  Until then, He speaks through what He has already spoken.  So we should listen to Him, not only this season but every season.

Repentance Unto Life (Hosea 12-14)

The final word is not a word of judgment but a word of repentance and restoration.

The Love of the Father (Hosea 9-11)

To this point, the relationship between God and His people had been described as a marriage, with God being the faithful husband and His people being the unfaithful wife.  But here the relationship is described as one between God, who is a loving father, and His people, who were an ungrateful and rebellious son.

The Danger of Self-Reliance (Hosea 8)

Whether in times of joy or sadness, or in seasons of adversity or prosperity, Christ alone is the One upon whom we should call and the One upon whom we should depend.

No Escape, Only Rescue (Hosea 5-7)

Today, the Lord still desires for us to earnestly seek Him, and the evidence of our earnestness is the same as it was for Israel.
