  • Why Doesn’t God Move in Some Churches?

    Why Doesn’t God Move in Some Churches?

    When I was little (probably fifth or sixth grade) I remember being given some Pokemon cards. We didn’t have “Pokemon Go.” I started to really like playing this card game. My brother and I would sneak these cards into our house and play in secret because we were not allowed to play with them. One…

  • The Pastor’s Function

    The Pastor’s Function

    Looking back at the last two weeks, it should be inescapably clear to us God desires so much in the relationship that He has with us as we live on this earth. The most basic pursuit of the Christian is the pursuit of holiness. Yet, we look for every excuse not to make this our…

  • God’s Structure for Ministry

    God’s Structure for Ministry

    Previously, we began discussing together the structure that God has for His people both in the Old Testament and in the New. We have discovered that God is building a kingdom of priests, where every believer is a priest. From that kingdom, God calls out positional priests (the pastors, elders, overseers, and bishops of the…

  • No Other Gods

    No Other Gods

    Previously, we discovered the purpose of the Law together. The Law was given as a sign of the covenant that God made with the people of Israel for the purpose of serving as a witness against the people. In this sense, the Law was given in order that sin, which was already present, would be…

  • Prepared for God’s Plan

    Prepared for God’s Plan

    Here, we get to finish our current study of Genesis. We have discovered together that God has given two purposes to His people. First, the people of God are to fill the earth with God’s image through both childbearing and through evangelism. Second, the people of God are to cultivate the earth for God’s glory.…

  • Obedience?

    Obedience?

    When we were last together, we discovered that as God brings us closer to Himself, it is He who cultivates our hearts. In response to God’s work within us, we are always observing our own priorities and, hopefully, rearranging them in a way that honors and glorifies God, whose image people were created in. Our…

  • Our Priorities, God’s Character

    Our Priorities, God’s Character

    Every year, I sit down personally to observe my own priorities. I sit down, make a list of the priorities that I have made, and then open the Scriptures to measure whether I have the correct priorities in my personal life. Every year, I am drawn to change when I do this. I am convicted…

  • Does God Need Us?

    Does God Need Us?

    If we believe that God is entirely sovereign, then we must also believe that He is entirely capable of doing the work that He has set out to do on His own. The local church has nothing to offer. Families have nothing to offer. As individuals, we have nothing to offer. People were created in…

  • God’s Purpose or Ours?

    God’s Purpose or Ours?

    Over the past two weeks, we have seen a common theme come up. Evangelism is necessary for those who wish to live as God’s image. This idea speaks boldly about the state of many churches in the modern world. Conflict is prominent in too many congregations. Churches are split. People cannot get over their disagreements.…

  • Purpose and Righteousness in a Sinful World

    Purpose and Righteousness in a Sinful World

    After Adam and Eve rebelled against God because of their own self-interest, they had two sons. Because of jealousy (also self-interest), one son murdered the other. People multiplied on the earth. God saw that people had become evil. In fact, In Genesis 6:5, we read that God saw that every inclination in the heart of…
