Law and Gospel
In 2 Corinthians 3, Paul makes a distinction between the Old Covenant and New Covenant, between the law and gospel. What is made clear is that the law cannot save anybody and was never intended to save anybody. All the law can do is point to our failure to keep it and earn is condemnation; it’s only because Jesus kept the whole law and was punished in our place that we can be made right before God. The law and the gospel are both necessary for our salvation.

Jul 7, 2019Letters of RedemptionAuthentic, Christ-centered ministry is epitomized in Paul’s work - and yet, he was still slandered and doubted. Paul pursues the Christians in Corinth, not by boasting of himself, but by appealing to their own lives. The transformation by the Holy Spirit in these individuals validated Paul’s ministry - and so it is for all ministers of God’s Word.

Jun 30, 2019Mere PeddlersIt is a privilege and an honor to minister in the name of Christ. No person, in themself, is sufficient to preach the Word of God, so we must do so with great fear and humility. However, there are always false teachers we need to be aware of who seek to use the gospel to exalt themselves and deceive others.

Jun 16, 2019Confronting Unbelief With The TruthIn John’s gospel, Jesus time and again reveals the ugly reality of the Pharisees’ false religion. His response is always to plainly tell the truth, as well as offer hope. And no matter how much people may reject or revile us, we must do the same.

Jun 2, 2019God of Life, Culture of DeathBy: Luke GriffoSeries: (All)As our culture continues along its course of rejection and hatred of God, it is becoming more and more apparent that we are a culture in love with death. As Christians, we must confront this culture on every front, especially in preaching the gospel of life, which transforms hearts.

May 26, 2019Yes, You Can KnowEvery Christian struggles at times with assurance; in John 8, Jesus teaches us that we can be certain of our salvation. We are called to abide in Christ, to be absolutely anchored in him alone. When we do this, we are freed from the enslavement and guilt of sin. So we must examine ourselves; do we manifest the obedience, repentance, and freedom that accompany abiding in Christ.
