Unity is a precious commodity. Israel struggled to keep it. Eventually, unity was lost, and Israel became a divided kingdom under its fourth king (third in the Davidic dynasty). King David’s grandson, Rehoboam split the nation in 930 B.C. through a miscalculated power play. Ten of the founding tribes made Jeroboam their king to theContinue reading “Unity”

Important things to keep in mind this year.
We need to reflect and remember God’s truth in light of a new year. The following is the outline for the first Sunday morning sermon of 2017. The title of the sermon was “Doctrine for a new year.” You can hear the sermon at our church website (click here). The Triune God invites you intoContinue reading “Important things to keep in mind this year.”
Jesus: Son of Man
One of the titles that Jesus applied to Himself is “Son of Man.” It is found in the Old Testament and New Testament. It signifies the humanity that Christ added to deity through the incarnation. The Gospel writer, Luke, emphasizes this title. This association with Christ is not by coincidence with Luke being a doctor andContinue reading “Jesus: Son of Man”
Jesus: The Word
Jesus said the Pharisees, “Before Abraham was, I am” (John 8:58). Scripture makes clear that Jesus existed before creation. Scripture is also clear that Jesus was not a part of creation but the cause of it. John beautifully describes the pre-incarnate nature of Jesus: John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word wasContinue reading “Jesus: The Word”
Jesus: Name Above All Names
Jesus is the central theme of Holy Scriptures. We find the likeness of Him in every book of the Bible. The Old Testament foretells of His first advent. The New Testament testifies of His life incarnate, His continuing work and second coming. Without Christ, we do not have hope. In the days to come, I am writingContinue reading “Jesus: Name Above All Names”
Who are we?
Theology concerning personhood is a doctrine that finds itself rooted in Trinitarian theology and language. These foundational beliefs have been considered the orthodox stance of the church since its conception. Possessing a Christian worldview of personhood will have profound implications for our world today. Our understanding of the Trinity and personhood is seen in theContinue reading “Who are we?”
Worshipping Christ at Christmas
It is possible that in the constant rush of this season that our worship comes directly out of duty and habit. Perhaps we forget the what and why that provides the foundation for our Christmas celebrations. That fundamental basis is the incarnation. It may even be true that we have never actually understood the importanceContinue reading “Worshipping Christ at Christmas”
Hope in the Judgment
Who can stand against the Judgment of God? No one. The nations of Israel and Judah learned this the hard way. The northern kingdom, Israel, had 19 kings who were all fundamentally evil and turned the country farther and farther from God. One of them, King Ahab, was perhaps the worst Israelite King of allContinue reading “Hope in the Judgment”
Not Even Shaken
All of Psalm 125 focuses on the believer’s protection that comes from the Lord. Those that trust in the Lord will be rewarded with rest and peace. Those who do not trust in the Lord will not find the rest and peace that their souls long after. An interesting phrase from Psalm 125:1 states believers will beContinue reading “Not Even Shaken”
Psalm 100
Without equal, God is good to us. Against the backdrop of pain and strife, God’s goodness shines out. Hearts filled with ungratefulness would be filled with gratitude in only a few moments if we focused our energy on contemplating the mercies and blessings of God on us. We would serve the Lord with gladness andContinue reading “Psalm 100”
