In 2020, two words were introduced to our vocabulary that changed the way people related to one another. Those two words are social distancing. For the first time in our lives, our society as a whole went to great measures to distance us from one another. This was for good reason as COVID-19 was highly…

Pox Party When I was a kid my parents waited until one of my friends had chicken pox, and then we all got together for a pox party. The actual intention was for us to get chicken pox! The theory was that it was better to get it as children than as adults… and there wasn’t a vaccine for chicken pox until…

You are God’s Valentine Valentine’s Day is coming. It’s a day of “love”. Isn’t it weird that we help our kids give out Valentine’s Day cards to everyone in the class, but I only gave Valentine’s Day cards to 3 people and suddenly I’m in trouble. I got this email this week. “You are God’s Valentine!”…

Like a leper, we are helpless, hopeless, and diseased. Do you believe God is able to save you from the pollution of your sin, and have you asked Christ to do so?

"Love is the greatest thing in the world!" So says Miracle Max of the classic movie, "The Princess Bride." How many songs, movies, books, and so much more talk about these 4 English letters? The Lord has a LOT to say about love. But the love the Lord speaks of is far and away different than what the current cultural climate says about it. What does God consider love to be? How is it to be expressed among his people and especially to him by his people? Come with the Grace United crew as we discover the amazing holy, omniscient, omnipotent love of the only true and living God.

Jesus heals our sicknesses. Not always how we want, or when we want. Everyone that was healed by Jesus while He was on Earth still died. Those who trust Him are healed eternally and are in His presence awaiting the resurrection. Jesus demonstrated to Israel that He was truly the promised Messiah, God with Us, come to remove the curse upon creation after Adam's sin. Jesus did many great miracles and He still does. Not the least of which, He was raised from the dead and is, therefore, alive now. He has promised to raise everyone who lives and believes in Him. We have truly entered and enjoy His Kingdom knowing freedom from the fear of death! He Himself took our infirmities. Rejoice, we'll live free of sicknesses in the end.

The meme is "Law bad, Grace good." We tend to think that the Lord's primary purpose for giving us the Law is to show us that we need a Savior. While it is true that the Law is like a mirror, pointing out our sin, it is far and away more precious and valuable than a mere set of rules. Rather, Commandments 6-9 highlight the inherent dignity the Lord has given to his people. How so? Come with the Grace United crew as we discover anew and afresh how the Torah reveals our dignity.

13-15 Leviticus – Leprosy (Much information is taken from Lunsford, J. (2006). Leviticus 101.) Reminder: Even here we are not dealing with individual sin – though maybe original sin. Leprosy makes you ceremonially unclean, unfit to go before God. AS DONE SIN! The Burnt offering was one seeking acceptance…
