This is what we preach
- Matthew 24:37-44
Be Prepared for the Coming of the Son of Man
- Matthew 24:37-44
Jesus warns that His return will be like the days of Noah, when people were caught unprepared despite clear warnings about coming judgment. The world will attempt to lull believers into spiritual complacency through routine activities and false security. True preparedness comes from staying alert through God's Word and remaining connected to the means of grace rather than relying on worldly understanding.
- Luke 20:27-38
What Should You Do When Professed Believers Sow Seeds of Doubt About the Resurrection?
- Luke 20:27-38
When Sadducees attempt to undermine resurrection faith with clever but distorted Scripture interpretations, Jesus responds by affirming the clear biblical teaching about eternal life. Believers must not be swayed by such manipulative arguments but stand firm in God's Word, which reveals that the dead are raised and that God is the God of the living. The proper response is to celebrate God's victory over death rather than entertain doubts about this fundamental Christian truth.
- 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10
When Will God's Justice Be Seen?
- 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10
God's justice is immediately evident in believers who suffer for His kingdom, demonstrating they are counted worthy of God's righteous verdict. Ultimate justice will be fully revealed on Judgment Day when Christ returns with powerful angels to exercise vengeance on unbelievers and grant eternal glory to His saints. While unbelievers will face eternal destruction away from God's presence, believers will experience the Lord being glorified and marveled at among them.
- Jeremiah 31:31-34
Praise the Lord - We Live in the New Covenant
- Jeremiah 31:31-34
God promises a new covenant that surpasses the old covenant broken by Israel, establishing a one-sided agreement that depends entirely on His faithfulness. This covenant supplies the obedience by writing God's law on hearts and minds, removes all barriers between God and His people, and completely forgives sin. Unlike the old covenant that required external teaching, believers now have direct knowledge of God through His complete forgiveness.
- 2 Timothy 1:3-14
How Do We Keep From Being Ashamed Of The Bible—Especially When Facing Persecution?
- 2 Timothy 1:3-14
Paul encourages Timothy to avoid shame about the gospel by relying on God's power and purpose rather than human strength, remembering God's grace given before time began. Believers must use the spiritual gifts God has provided and guard the good deposit of faith entrusted to them through the Holy Spirit. The antidote to shame is knowing the One in whom we believe and being convinced of His ability to guard what we have entrusted to Him.
