Abram's Fear of Man | Genesis 12:10-20
The Bible tells the honest story, including the failures of the heroes of our faith. In this passage, we discover when Abram had more fear in man, than trust in God - and left his wife, Sarai, in a vulnerable place.
God's Call to Abraham | Genesis 12:1-3
The life of Abraham is an incredible example of how God works in the lives of those who trust Him. Despite being a man who struggled with fear, mistrust, doubt, and more -- he is known as God's friend. Someone that God blessed personally, nationally, and for the entire world.
Mastering the Battle for the Mind
Spiritual battles are won or lost at the threshold of the mind. Thankfully, God has given us very practical, simple weapons with which we can fully experience the victory Christ has won for us.
A Psalm For Thanksgiving - Psalm 100
Psalm 100 is a psalm of thanksgiving to God for who He is and His faithfulness to us, His very own people. Here, we learn to worship God in our joy, our service, and in our praise through song. Together, let us enter His gates and stand in His courts exulting His perfect goodness.
Why Study The Bible?
The Bible has a fantastic history. The most famous book in the world is a collection of writings from thousands of years ago by many different authors from different parts of the world. But it is so much more. It is the Word of God communicated through His chosen people who witnessed God's action and His heart firsthand. These writings have been preserved and passed down through the generations over time "so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ."
When It’s Difficult to Trust His Leading
Sometimes it’s not the big ‘asks’ from God that are the challenge. Sometimes it’s the small ones that trips us up. The visit to the neighbour, the small talk with the cashier, or the family get together that can sometimes be the hardest moment to go with God’s leading. Remembering who and why you were made the way you are is surprisingly the key to a life of surrender.
The Church at Her Best | 2 Corinthians 13:7-14
The Apostle Paul closes his letter to the Corinthians with a description of what the Church of Jesus Christ looks like when she is at her best.
Testing Yourself To See If You Are IN the Faith | 2 Corinthians 13:5-6
Time for a pop-quiz. It is the most important test that we need to pass. It is a test to see if we possess faith in Christ, and therefore if Christ is in us. Not everybody passes this test (Universalism is not Biblical), nor is it only for some (God did not predestine only some for faith). Anyone can pass - as long as they possess faith.
Overcoming Sin - Repentance in Action | 2 Corinthians 13:1-4
Living in a sin-cursed world where we face temptation from all around us, there is still hope in the simple truth that Jesus is greater than your sin. The same power that raised Jesus from the grace, is able to overcome the flesh.
Understanding Repentance | 2 Corinthians 12:11-21
Repentance is one of the words in our Christian faith that has been very misunderstood. As a result, it has been discarded and seen contrary to grace. But repentance is something that we all need and will lead us out of death from sin to experience life in Christ. Which is why the Apostle Paul is willing to meddle in the personal lives of the Corinthians.
