Feb 2, 2020Fearfully and Wonderfully MadeSeries: In Defense of LifeScripture teaches, conscience testifies, and science confirms that pre-born life is human life.

Jan 19, 2020Hard Realities, Glorious PromisesJesus never tells us simply what we want to hear, but He plainly teaches the difficult realities of the Christian life.

Jan 12, 2020Trust, Serve, WorshipIn John 12, we see a powerful contrast between what true faith looks like and the hallmarks of a false profession. On the one side, Lazarus, Martha, and Mary display the testimony of God’s free regenerating grace, the service that we give to God, and the unashamed worship we offer. Judas on the other hand scoffs at true worship, rebukes generous service to the Lord, and displays in his heart unbelief.

Jan 5, 2020Jesus Must DieTo the unregenerate, the idea of free grace is terrifying because it takes control completely out of our hands. Christ’s demand is for our whole being, and that kills the autonomy we want in our rebellion.

Dec 15, 2019BenedictusSeries: The Birth of ChristZechariah’s prophecy after John the Baptist’s birth is all centered around God’s promise to deliver His people finally being fulfilled.

Dec 8, 20193-Fold Witness To ChristSeries: The Birth of ChristBy the power and influence of the Hold Spirit, there is testimony of the pre-born Savior’s identity from John the Baptist, Elizabeth, and Mary herself. All of these take the focus away from themselves and onto Christ.

Dec 1, 2019More Than A MiracleJesus’s raising Lazarus from the dead was an amazing work, but it points to something even more amazing. The focus is on Christ and His power to call a dead man from the grave with a command that must be obeyed. And this is what happens spiritually to all of those whom Christ calls: we are risen from our deadness in sin and are drawn to repentance and faith by the work of the Holy Spirit.
