Gospel Meditations: 1 Timothy 6:1-2 Christ Our Lord

We are desperate to be free. And we will worship any god that will give us that freedom.

Study: Romans 5:1-5 God Sanctifies, Not Us

Only God can sanctify.

Study: Genesis 3:14-24 The Gospel Proclaimed

Genesis 3:15 is often called the first proclamation of the gospel. This was God’s declaration that he will make everything right with him once again.

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?

Gospel Meditations: 1 Timothy 3:14-16 Mystery of Christ

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