How often do we open the Old Testament only to treat it like a collection of Aesop’s Fables? We tell our children the story of David and Goliath and summarize it with: “Just be brave and face the giants in your life!” When we do this, we turn the Bible into pure moralism. We suggest […]

We saw the monumental importance of these three verses this morning, both for the personal Christian life and the life of the church. Our fall is so deep that not only must God allow His pure grace to flow to us, but He must also guard that grace continuously so that we do not spoil

We saw the monumental importance of these three verses this morning, both for the personal Christian life and the life of the church. Our fall is so deep that it is not enough for God to simply let His pure grace flow to us; He must guard that grace as it flows continuously so that

If you have ever raised a child, you know the “Parental Broken Record”—that experience of repeating the same thing over and over again.

Ephesians 2:4–6 “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”

This is our fifth sermon on just three verses. You might ask, “Pastor, why spend so much time here?” The answer is simple: if you don’t understand the depth of your depravity, you will never understand the height of your salvation. These verses are the foundation of the entire Bible. Most of the lack of

A few years ago, while traveling by train, a man sat next to me. He appeared to be a priest, adorned with large Rudraksha beads, a sandalwood tilak, and rings with different colored stones on every finger. I was reading my Bible. He looked at me, sensing an opportunity, and asked if I would like
