Salvation comes by the promise made to Abraham, not the Law given to Moses, as Paul makes very clear to the Galatians.
Paul rebuked a man who sinned — literally harming and oppressing him by misusing his power over Paul — but when he was informed that the man was a high official, he said that he wouldn’t have done such had he known his position because, "You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people." How does such a teaching apply today?
A gospel look at what really matters and why as we move forward.
The apostle Paul spoke at length in the second chapter of Thessalonians about how the gospel was presented to the them, “so that you would walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory“ (vs. 12).
"Amen" is on oft overlooked word but one full of meaning and that shows up in the scripture in some unusual ways.
The Thessalonians turned to God through Jesus Christ and waited anxiously for His return to save us from the wrath to come — just like true reception of the gospel always leads to.
A look at God's glory, His jealousy of it, and how it is our hope that He shares with us as promised. (This is our second study on this, as the first was obscured by the opening days of the pandemic.)
Those who live by the law are under the curse to fully obey it with no true forgiveness of sins when they don't. Those who live by faith in Jesus are blessed with the promised that their faith will be counted as righteousness.
The Thessalonians were changed greatly by the gospel, even if those without faith resisted it, and them.
Romans 8:28 is often considered the greatest promise to the faith, that God causes all things to work together for good. Did the great example of faithfulness find this to be true?
Abraham wasn't just the father of all the Jews, he's the father of all the faithful. His faith was counted as righteousness, even as his sins weren't counted against him. This is the very same hope that we have as believers in Christ.
A listing of some of the blessings found in the local church, as found in the opening verses in Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians.
This little fact at at the end of the Last Supper, just before Jesus walks to the Garden of Gethsemane points to truly encouraging things.
Paul asks the Galatians how they received the Spirit -- by the law or by faith? All the blessings they wanted came by faith, so why were they going back to the law?
Peter’s very last admonition to his readers to on avoiding and resisting some of the unsavory characters that pollute our religious life.
A lessons from an Old Testament hero—a great, and greatly flawed man.
Peter gives his readers some closing instructions and tells them some encouragements and warnings about things the apostle Paul wrote.
Everything in this world is shakeable -- but our kingdom and hope in God is not.
The Jewish leaders thought that the Law and prophets contained life itself in their words. Jesus said the words of scripture pointed to Him, who was the true life.
If this world is temporary, but our souls are eternal, how then should we live?
