People come to church…people claim to have faith in God (in Jesus) for many different reasons. Some come because they just always have come. Some come simply because they have family that comes and they want to be with them. Some come because they like the activities: services, programs, music, teaching,…

The resurrection of Lazarus points forward to other resurrections that are on the way; all reminders of the restoration of shalom.

One does not need too many years in life to see and feel the weight of sin and its curse. Romans 5 paints two distinct, contrasting pictures: one of gloom, doom, and utter despondency; the other of hope, liberation, and restoration. These pictures are of two men, both of which had the power to affect…

Last Easter we did not meet. COVID scare had us in lockdown. So much has changed in a year. Some things for the better but it sure seems to me that hopelessness has increased too. I hear from so many people who have let fear grip them. So many people who become chronically depressed, anxious, and hopeless.…

Hindsight is 20/20. Paul knows better now. In this text, He is comparing what he knows now with what he knew then. He is doing so to warn about false teachers, doctrine, and thinking (like his past thinking). What did Paul learn? (v. 7) His past gain was actually a loss. What brought him to this awareness?…
