This is what we preach
- Luke 12:49-53
If Jesus Is the Prince of Peace, Why Does He Bring Division?
- Luke 12:49-53
Jesus brings division because His coming inevitably creates a cleansing fire that separates those who accept God's grace from those who reject it. The sinful nature naturally despises both God's unmerited favor and His Word, causing conflict even within families when some embrace Christ while others resist Him. This division is not Jesus' ultimate purpose but the unavoidable result of His gospel confronting human sin and unbelief.
- Luke 12:22-40
Stop Fearing, Little Flock! Because it Pleased Your Heavenly Father to Give You the Kingdom
- Luke 12:22-40
Jesus calls His disciples to stop worrying about earthly needs because their heavenly Father, who cares for ravens and flowers, will certainly provide for His children who are far more valuable. Since God has already provided for their greatest need by giving them the kingdom, believers can trust Him to handle all lesser concerns. God serves as their greatest treasure and keeps them prepared for Christ's return, enabling them to live without fear.
- Luke 12:13-21
What Abundance Do We Need?
- Luke 12:13-21
Through the parable of the rich fool, Jesus warns against making possessions and wealth the god of our hearts, as true life is not measured by material abundance. Money should be viewed as a tool rather than a solution to life's problems or source of security. The abundance we truly need is God Himself, who provides an abundance of grace, love, forgiveness, peace, and eternal salvation.
- Genesis 18:1-14
The Lord Knows Just What to Say and Do to Comfort Abraham, Sarah, and You
- Genesis 18:1-14
When the Lord visits Abraham and Sarah, He demonstrates His perfect knowledge of what each person needs to hear for comfort and encouragement. Despite Sarah's doubt and laughter at the promise of a child in her old age, God gently addresses her unbelief with the reminder that nothing is impossible for Him. The Lord continues to provide exactly the right words and actions to comfort His people in every situation.
- Deuteronomy 30:9-14
See the Blessings of Being in God's Word
- Deuteronomy 30:9-14
God's Word is not distant or difficult to access but is near to believers, working in their hearts and mouths to create faith and obedience. When believers hear both God's law and gospel, the Lord works listening hearts within them and enables them to confess and believe. As a result, God prospers their work in ways that are truly beneficial, bringing abundant blessings through His Word.
