Making Accountability Less Difficult

Josiah Maddux | May 29th, 2022

Accountability is often more difficult than it needs to be. One of the biggest reasons for that is because a lot of us haven't learned how to handle confrontation and correction without taking it personally.

At the Home of Mary and Martha

John Gray | May 15th, 2022

Like Mary, we devote ourselves to habits of study of the Scriptures, which is part of "devoting ourselves to the apostles' teaching," following the pattern of the disciples in the book of Acts, and building the kingdom in the same way they did, with the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

The Gospel Overflowing into Giving

John Weis | July 21st, 2019

Because of the grace of God, the Corithian saints joyfully give to support the saints in Jerusalem, all by the transformation brought about by the gospel. Therefore, as those who have received freely from the Lord, let us lay hold of His promises, and cheerfully aid our brothers in Christ.

Overview of "Follow Me" by David Platt

Greg Weis | July 7th, 2019

An overview of the book "Follow Me" by David Platt. Presented by Greg Weis.

The Freedom of Walking by the Spirit

John Weis | June 30th, 2019

Those who are called to freedom through Jesus Christ must not please themselves, nor walk in the flesh, but walk according to the Holy Spirit of God. Therefore, as those called to walk by the Spirit, let us crucify the flesh and fulfill the law of loving our neighbors as ourselves.

Rejoicing in All Things in God

John Weis | June 23rd, 2019

Because of God's grace, all those who trust in Christ can rejoice even in the midst of great suffering, because the Holy Spirit has poured out His love in their hearts. Therefore, as those who have been justified by faith, let us praise God in all circumstances, for He will sustain by His Spirit even until the day of Christ Jesus.

The Opportunity of Offense

Greg Weis | June 16th, 2019

The Worthiest of Servants

John Gray | May 26th, 2019

In this passage, which you may find offensive, we find out how the disciples discovered a new identity--on the other side of the cross.

They (All) Bear Witness About Me

John Gray | March 24th, 2019

While all of the Hebrew Scriptures are about Jesus, this psalm is one of the most clear and complete passages that explains the roles of Jesus as King, Priest, and Son of Man.

If You Pray Like Moses...

John Gray | December 30th, 2018

This psalm invites us to consider God; though we don't have long to live, He never changes; it calls us to pray like Moses prayed, and to be satisfied by the love and favor of the Lord when we seek Him in prayer. Think about that.

What It Means That God Is With Us

John Gray | December 23rd, 2018

Our invisible God has come in the flesh in the Man Christ Jesus. The Spirit of Jesus is with us today. Because of His Presence among us, we may have special fellowship with God and with fellow Christians. Here are two common barriers that limit our fellowship with our God and with one another.

The Reign of the Son of David

John Weis | November 25th, 2018

The Lord has fulfilled His promise to David by raising up His Son, Jesus Christ, to the throne over all things - powers, rulers, authorities, and nations. Seeing the glory of the Anointed King in His Reign, let us shout for joy as we obey His rule, that one day we would reign with Him.

"Thank You for Your Steadfast Love!"

John Gray | November 25th, 2018

This Psalm is a how-to manual for meeting God in your quiet time, when you think of Him through the day when you're at work. It reminds us how to go through the gospel every day, because it is when we put everything on hold and turn our attention to the Son who was crucified on our behalf that we see and know God. Loud praise and thank you's for His steadfast love is the fitting response.

We Need Our Feet Washed

Tom Kelby | November 11th, 2018

We as the Church need to be united in a practical and not merely theoretical way. We need to love one another by living life together and admonishing one another in the Lord.

The Reign of God and His Anointed

John Weis | October 7th, 2018

Though Israel rejected the Messiah, God vindicated His Son and set Him as King over all things, for the blessing of all those in His Church.

The Blessed Man in Christ

John Weis | September 30th, 2018

Knowing how Jesus Christ defeated His opponents, by making God's word His joy, let us give ourselves to discovering that same well of joy to overcome the sin which so easily entangles.

The Testimony of the Lord Jesus

John Weis | September 23rd, 2018

God has graciously put forth His glory in both His creation and in His word so that His people would know Him and faithfully keep His covenant. Knowing the fulfilment of God's word brought about by Jesus, Christians should wholeheartedly cling to the Gospel promise, treasuring them above every other earthly thing.

Preaching the Power of God

John Weis | September 16th, 2018

Through the preaching of the word of the cross, the glad news that Christ was crucified in the place of sinners, God powerfully saves sinners. Because God has chosen His people, though they were despised by the world, they ought to gloriously boast in Jesus Christ, for through Him they have redemption.

God Instructs Sinners in the Way

John Weis | September 9th, 2018

Because of God's steadfast love, David faithfully asks for direction and deliverance in the midst of his distress and trouble. Because Christ trusted God in the midst of violent opposition, we too may call upon Him, no matter the circumstance, for He is the God who redeems His people.

Jesus is Praying This for Us

John Gray | September 9th, 2018

The Lord's Beautiful Dwelling Place

John Weis | September 2nd, 2018

Being in the dwelling place of the Lord is a delight to the soul and refreshing to the heart, for in it, we meet with God Himself. Seeing the benefits, those who are in Christ must not neglect the great privilege of meeting through His people, His Church in which He dwells.

Orthodoxy Must Become Orthopraxy

John Gray | September 2nd, 2018

How to Have Joy in God (Keep Yourself from Idols)

John Gray | August 26th, 2018

God made you to enjoy Him, to have your greatest satisfaction in Him, and to treasure Him above all others. Neglecting to enjoy God supremely is idolatry and warrants His judgment.

The House of the Greater Solomon

John Weis | August 26th, 2018

Though the glory which filled Solomon's temple was great, the glory which fills the Church is far greater, for Christ has risen and ascended to the throne over all the earth. As those who have inherited the promises, we ought to highly esteem that which we celebrate each Lord's Day in corporate worship, remembering that which God has done to save His people.

Walking in Love and Light

John Weis | August 19th, 2018

Because Christ's sacrifice atoned for our sins, we can forever forsake those idolatries and lusts in which we formerly walked, but instead be filled with the Spirit to walk in newness of life. Christ's love for us has transformed us, therefore, let us walk in the freedom which He has purchased with His blood.

The Robe of the King

John Gray | August 19th, 2018

In Joseph's life, we see many shadows of Jesus, who is likewise the favored son of His Father, is clothed in a king's robe, rules over all the nations in order to care for them and provide them with bread; even though He was betrayed by His brothers, it was all part of His masterful plan to bring all things together under His rule.

The New Way of Life in Christ

John Weis | August 12th, 2018

Because of God's great mercy, all those in Christ must put off the old self, stained by sin, and put on the new self, walking in holiness with God and neighbor.

Delight, Discipline, and Destiny: A Meditation on the First Psalm

John Gray | August 12th, 2018

This first psalm shows the unshakable joy of the person whose daily habit is to drink deeply from the water of the Scriptures, wherein one may meet God and hear His voice.

The Bread which Never Perishes

John Weis | August 5th, 2018

After the Feeding of the Five-Thousand, Jesus teaches the crowd that He, rather than the loaves and fishes, is He the Only One who truly satisfies the unsatiable soul. Unless we behold Jesus Christ through the eyes of faith in His promise, we ourselves will never come to Him to trust and know Him as the supreme satisfaction of our lives.

Lifted Up for All to See

John Gray | August 5th, 2018

Just as the accursed serpent in the wilderness was lifted up by Moses so that anyone who looked at it would live, so Jesus became sin and was cursed for us so that we might be saved from the bite of sin and might become the righteousness of God.

A Hard Heart Will Cost You Your Sanity and Your Soul

John Gray | July 29th, 2018

Repeatedly refusing the grace of God to escape temptation will blind you and you won't see Jesus as He is, even when He's right in front of you.

Enough

John Gray | July 22nd, 2018

As Christians, we are called to be content with what God gives to us, to be free from the love of wealth, and to be thankful for what we have. We are enabled to do this by delighting in God above all else and by trusting Him to provide all that we need.

God Provides a Lamb to Save a Son

John Gray | July 15th, 2018

We see the glory of the grace of God in the foreshadowing of Jesus' sacrifice of Himself for sinners. Like the ram substituted for Abraham's only son, the only Son of God substituted for the lambs of God's flock, so that we can become sons of God.

Ecclesiastical Commitment - God's Grace in Community

Steven Leopold | July 15th, 2018

The closer look at how God's grace is attained through the church.

The Glory of God in Zion

John Weis | July 8th, 2018

God has graciously decreed that His glory and power be seen in the midst of His people, the city of God called Zion, throughout all generations.

The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness

John Gray | July 8th, 2018

As we submit to the biblical command to not be "puffed up," we must not allow ourselves to think to humility is some type of self-hatred. Biblical humility will protect us from both self-love and self-hatred. Biblical humility is to be self-forgetful.

Living before the Triune God

John Weis | May 27th, 2018

Through the cross of Christ, believers are delivered from bondage to sin in order to walk according to the leading of the Spirit as the true sons of God.

The Prodigal Father

John Gray | May 27th, 2018

As we examine Luke 15:11-32 we see the prodigious love that the Father has for all His children. This passage tells us how we must respond to that love and grace, and also gives us an example of how not to respond to His love and grace.

What the Father is Like

John Gray | April 29th, 2018

We come to know the Father through seeing Christ, who is the perfect representation of His nature, and by watching the Father interact with the Son.
