Of Saving Faith

New Life: A Series in Colossians, Part 1

What is God Doing?

Paul saw what God was doing in the Colossian church. Through Jesus, God made them holy before him and adopted them into his household. Their hope in heaven fueled their faith in Christ and love for all the saints by the power of the gospel.

Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 13

Sower and Soils

The question rising from the book of Luke, and now posed by the Parable of the Sower, is this: How are you responding to Jesus?

Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 1

Familiarity with Jesus

Familiarity can blind us to who a person is. The people in Jesus’ hometown of Nazareth were skeptical of his claims and felt entitled to his power. Therefore, they missed the opportunity to humbly hear his message and respond in faith.

Galatians: No Other Gospel, Part 10

God’s Free Children

We are God’s free children. And as such, we should not rely on our flesh but rely on the promise and power of God.

Galatians: No Other Gospel, Part 9

A Personal Appeal

Paul makes a personal, fatherly, and pastoral appeal for the true gospel with three questions: 1) How can you turn back? 2) What became of the blessing you felt? and 3) Have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?

Galatians: No Other Gospel, Part 5

Confrontation and Justification

Paul would not budge on his conviction that justification is by faith in Christ and not works of the law. This conviction, and his willingness even to confront Peter over it, protected the purpose of the death of Christ and the gospel itself.

Perfect Peace, Part 1

The Coming King

Who will you trust? To whom will you ultimately look for help in your time of need? Past mercies, present promises, and future hope can help us trust in the Lord today.

A Test of Trust

In Isaiah 7, God invited Israel’s King Ahaz to trust him. Ahaz failed the test of trust. God also invites us to trust him. Will we pass the test?

Rooted, Part 28

Of Saving Faith

His Passion, Our Power, Part 12

What Does This Mean?

On Pentecost, Peter explained the coming of the Holy Spirit to the bewildered crowd. He preached that this Jesus—attested by God, crucified, raised, and exalted—is indeed both Lord and Christ.

Daniel: Our God Reigns, Part 3

Faith Under Fire

Faith isn’t believing God will keep you from fire. It’s believing he will be with you in it.

1 Peter: Living Hope, Part 2

Sustaining Faith

Christians are elect exiles with sustaining faith that is tested and connected to the past.

The Gospel of John: So That You May Believe, Part 21

Belief and Unbelief

Why is it that some people believe and others do not?

The Book of Ruth, Part 4

The Great Kinsman Redeemer

For the conclusion of our series in Ruth we take a look into how Boaz redeems Ruth to continue the family name, and how this ultimately points to Christ as our kinsman redeemer.

The Book of Ruth, Part 3

Seeking Rest for Ruth

Is your heart at rest? Is it well with your soul? We can learn how to find rest for our own lives in Ruth's story. Ruth needs to find a redeemer to find rest. By finding Boaz, she gets closer to finding the ultimate rest she needs in Jesus.

The Book of Ruth, Part 2

Grace at the Bottom of the Barrel

When Ruth and Naomi arrive in Bethlehem, they have the Lord, each other, and not much else. But unbeknownst to them, the Lord is orchestrating circumstances of their ordinary lives to bring them extraordinary grace.

The Book of Ruth, Part 1

Rock Bottom Faith

The power of God is delivered by the invisible arm of providence. God uses the ordinary means of his providence to bring extraordinary grace to his people.

The Gospel of John: So That You May Believe, Part 8

Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ

Put your faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ, and you will have eternal life. Have faith not only in what he can do for you, but also in who he is and in his word.

The Gospel of John: So That You May Believe, Part 6

You Must Be Born Again

You cannot save yourself. But you can find eternal life by lifting up your eyes to Christ lifted up on the cross.

The Gospel of John: So That You May Believe, Part 4

Wedding in Crisis

By intervening in a wedding in crisis, Jesus revealed his glory and his disciples believed.

Exodus: Saved for God's Glory, Part 7

Departure, Deliverance, and the Glory of God

Salvation is of the LORD, totally, entirely, and all for his glory.

Exodus: Saved for God's Glory, Part 1

Even When Life Is Hard

We can trust God to fulfill his promises and to deliver his people even when life is hard.

Colossians: Christ is All, Part 2

The Preeminence of Christ

Christ is preeminent and supreme, so we must continue to entrust ourselves to the hope of His gospel.

Colossians: Christ is All, Part 1

Christ is All

God has given us great blessings through our trust in Jesus Christ.

Matthew: The Life and Words of Jesus, Part 49

Jesus Trains His Disciples

Throughout this passage, Jesus is training his disciples. Even though his disciples don’t understand, Jesus still instructs them, and he doesn’t give up on them.

Matthew: The Life and Words of Jesus, Part 44

The Heart that Honors God

The heart that honors God keeps traditions in their right place and avoids hypocrisy, trusting in God alone for righteousness.

Matthew: The Life and Words of Jesus, Part 29

Jesus Christ, Compassionate Lord

Faith is like a lifeline thrown out to someone who’s fallen overboard. The one on the saving end of the line is Jesus. Your faith is what connects you to him.

Stepping Away from the Ledge

Standing on top of the temple, the devil offered Jesus the opportunity to test his Father's love and power, to be assured of his future. Instead, Jesus entrusted himself to God whose ability to rescue was proven by the resurrection from the dead.

Romans, Part 4

Abraham: Justified by Faith

Abraham was justified not by works but by faith.
