Sometimes it is hard to trust. Trust is defined as the reliance on something or someone. We struggle with trust because it means we are dependent on something other than us. Scripture, time and time again, is clear that we need to believe in God. Yet, how do we do that? “Trust in the LORDContinue reading “Trust in the Lord”

Going to Church: Why do we gather?
In a recent presentation by Barna Research and Pepperdine University, it was shared that Church attendance is a decreasing expectation (watch here; find it at the 48:30 mark). Changes in family dynamics, more distractions, and a lack of commitment to a local congregation have all contributed to this new reality. As Church leaders, this isContinue reading “Going to Church: Why do we gather?”
What is sin?
There are several passages of Scripture that help us to define sin. Sin is a transgression of the law. “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law” (1 John 3:4). To transgress means to go beyond, to overstep the boundaries, to exceed the limits imposed upon us byContinue reading “What is sin?”
Unity
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”

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”
