Doctrine: James 1:13-15 Pray Like This: Deliver Us From Evil
Every generation of mankind struggles with knowing good and evil–despite tasting the fruit from said tree.

And despite having the word of God and the Triune God within every child… Continue reading Doctrine: James 1:13-15 Pray Like This: Deliver Us From Evil
Study: Romans 4:13-25 God Fulfills His Promises, Not Us

Gospel Meditations: 1 Timothy 4:11-5:2 Minister in Christ
Those who believe in Christ are saved to Christ. But believers in Christ are never to do this isolation.

Study: Genesis 1:20-25 Our Forever Creator
God is Creator of everything. Simple enough statement but for some in modern times, that is easier said than to believe. Why do some struggle with belief in God as Creator?

We have the calling, qualifications, and the duties of Elders and the Deacons of the church. But they are not the entire church.
