"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."

"Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

"Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father in heaven."

No one usually likes to get disciplined. It's painful. It's a jab to our pride. Yet for the christian, who is a child of God, it is actually a good thing. In fact the author of Hebrews says it is for our benefit so that we can share in...

Are you a relic among your friends? No, not because of your age; but because you worship on Sundays? If we really believe that the whole Gospel is really good news not just for us in the church but those outside of it, too, then maybe we should...

No, your doctor hasn't violated privacy laws by sending the results to the church. This particular pathology isn't from your last biopsy. Actually, it's about your baby [Guys, keep reading!] Yeah, "its" name is Hamartia...

Today's Christian needs to get in touch with some of the spiritual classics. Engaging a "classic" of any kind takes time and a procured taste. One such classic is Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan. It isn't the Bible, but as...

What does it mean that Jesus was tempted just like we were? What are the implications of that? In our new series we will be looking at sin, temptation and the sufficiency of Jesus. While we dug a bit deeper on what the humanity of Jesus looks like...

A leader in one arena of life isn't necessarily suitable for other arenas. No place is this truer than the one holy, apostolic and universal church left to us by the Lord Jesus. While we should be most grateful for a 'tough-as-nails...

Churches shouldn't settle. But often an unhealthy cycle of settling for leaders who settle for less (or more) than the prescriptions of Biblical doctrine and church practice eventually results in whole congregations who settle. It's never...

Have you ever had the pleasant experience of someone mistaking you for a celebrity or for being younger than you actually are? Mistaken identities can work for or against us sometimes. Maybe a certain past blunder or occupation haunts you. Closets...

Saul the chief persecuting officer of Judaism was on his way to Damascus to continue his murderous rage, but God had other plans. He dramatically encountered the risen Lord Jesus. This blinding experience saved him dramatically. Have you met Jesus?

How does anyone become a Christian? Is it through a magical prayer? Does he or she decide on their own that they want to trust Jesus? And can just about anyone be saved or is it only for the elite? How does God "fit" in the picture? As we...

What happens when people see miraculous signs done? In our passage today, a man by the name of Simon was astonished when he saw what Jesus' followers were doing. However, it was all for the wrong reasons since his heart was not right before God...
