  • What is the Great and Terrible Day of the Lord?

    What is the Great and Terrible Day of the Lord?

    In Matthew 3:1-4:11, we find Matthew’s prelude to Jesus’ public preaching ministry. In this prelude, the necessity of the true Gospel will be made evident and Matthew will take the opportunity to, once again, prove that Jesus is the fulfillment of national Israel. Matthew 3:1-12 Now in those days John the Baptist came, preaching in…

  • What is the Lord’s Supper?

    What is the Lord’s Supper?

    Last week we talked about the ordinance of Baptism. In Baptism, we declare our death to sin and our new life in Christ Jesus. This week, we will see the theology of the Lord’s Supper. The Lord’s Supper is practiced in a variety of ways in our age. In the New Testament, the church would…

    So, There’s This Weird Thing Called Baptism…

    God’s work is simply awe-inspiring. The last two months in my personal ministry and in my personal growth with our Lord has been truly amazing. I will share a little about that as we get into the text. This will be the second time since the beginning of December that we have been in the…

    Empowering of the Holy Spirit

    Over the previous two weeks, we have been thinking together about the identity of God as Father and Son. We have seen, in Scripture, that the trinitarian existence of God is no new concept.

    Dear Leader, part 5 (Pastors?)

    This exercise is a continuation of a series we started at Grace with our leadership while I served as interim there. For those who are not pastors or deacons, but who lead in some capacity in any arena of life, these books are a tremendous resource in Scripture. I encourage all of those who would…

    What is Church Membership? Part 1

    Over the next six months in our Family Meetings at Grace, we will be following the outline of Thom Rainer’s I Am a Church Member. We want to discover, or rediscover, what it means to be a healthy part of a healthy local church because, in a wretched world, it’s easy to forget or lose…

    Why do we need to be saved? What from?

    My wife and I use the GPS on our phones often. What an amazing gift this technology is. I remember going on a road trip with Kati’s family some time ago to the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee. Kati’s dad sat in the passenger seat so he could look at the map while her mom drove.…
