The God Who We Believe In: Ancient Faith Part 2

This week we discussed what we mean when we say “I believe in God”. Who is this “God” we believe in? Is He the same as other “gods” around the world? R.C. Sproul noted the importance of understanding this when he wrote,...

“I Believe”: Ancient Faith Part One

  Much of Christianity in America today has been lamented to be a mile wide and about an inch deep. I am happy that Christianity has spread far and wide in our culture. However, I am not happy that there is such a lack of depth. It is not difficult to see how we...

The Light of the World Meets a Man Born Blind (John 9)

 A few years after High School I felt strongly that people in my family, who believed themselves to be Christians but did not live lives that seemed Christian needed to be warned. I felt deeply about this. I mentioned a few things to a few people to no avail. So, I...

From Death To Life (John 4:44-54)

I have mentioned my time as a student ministry quite often. One thing that I did not understand as a teenager was faith. Pray this prayer, I was told at conferences and camps, and you will have eternal life. “If you really mean these words then you will have eternal...
The Urgency of Spreading the Name of Christ (John 4:27-42)

The Urgency of Spreading the Name of Christ (John 4:27-42)

The message that people need most is that of Christ. People need to know that they have offended God and His just punishment is their eternal condemnation. People need to know that Christ has accomplished salvation from God’s wrath for them by living a perfect life on their behalf, dying the death that they owed, and rising from the dead.
