Most of us associate thanksgiving with the holiday we celebrate on the fourth Thursday in November. But for followers of Christ, thanksgiving should permeate all of our walk in Christ. In fact, we are called to abound in thanksgiving as we are rooted and built up in Christ. What exactly is thanksgiving, and what does it look like for thanksgiving to so permeate our lives that we abound in thanksgiving? (Colossians 2.1-7) Novem...

The gospel of Jesus Christ is truly amazing. Not only are we forgiven of our many sins by God's grace through the atoning death of Jesus, but we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit when we put our faith in Christ. The Holy Spirit is not only at work within us, transforming us into the image of Christ, but the Spirit is also at work through us to build up the body of Christ. With such an amazing gospel, why did Paul need to tel...

Why did God choose to give differing gifts to Christians? His divine eternal plan is to create one household of faith, where His children share the love of the Father with each other. But our sin natures make this hard to live out. How do the biblical passages on spiritual gifts encourage us to think and act in such a way as to preserve the unity of the body of Christ for His glory? (Romans 12.3-6) October 23, 2022

Since spiritual gifts are the manifestation of the Holy Spirit in and through the believer, it is natural that we have some questions about how this works. But, we don’t want to allow the mystery of spiritual gifts to keep us from the mystery of spiritual gifts. Join us for a conversation about the top questions that many Christians have about spiritual gifts. (Romans 12.4-6) October 16, 2022.

At the end of Moses’ life, he wrote down all the words of the law in a book and placed it beside the ark. Yet, many scholars today believe that Moses was not the principle author of the Pentateuch, but that it was written hundreds of years later to support the new monarchy and temple worship in Jerusalem. Why is it important that we believe Moses was the principle author of the Pentateuch? Because there is a spiritual battle g...

The story of Balaam and his talking donkey is surely one of the weirdest stories from the exodus. As we look deeper than the surface story, we find that Israel was supposed to learn that God is sovereign over all of His creation and present and active in creation. It should have encouraged them to move boldly toward the Promised Land because if God was for them, who could be against them? Unfortunately, they chose to embrace t...

After all that Moses had to endure leading a grumbling group of people through the wilderness, he was disqualified from entering the Promised Land himself for the simple crime of hitting a rock with a stick. Why was the sin of Moses such a big deal in the eyes of God? And what can we learn about being an Ambassador for Christ from his mistakes? (Numbers 20.1-13) September 11, 2022

The Bible teaches us that we are to submit to authority, but most of our favorite Bible stories are about godly people resisting authority. The story of Korah's rebellion against Moses makes us think about what the Bible has to say about authority. (Numbers 16) September 4, 2022

When we come face to face with the Giants in our land, whom do we fear? Do we fear the giants or fear the Lord? How does the presence of God, the Word of God, the ways of God, and our relationship with God impact those life changing moments? (Numbers 13-14) August 28, 2022

Many of the stories from the exodus experience involve the wrath of God being poured out upon His people in response to their sin and rebellion. How does the wrath of God relate to the grace of the new covenant? As we think through the gospel, we see that the wrath of God drives us to the grace of God and calls us to rest under the discipline of a loving heavenly Father. (Numbers 13.1-3) August 21, 2022

Why did God spend so much time giving specific instructions to Moses about how to build the tabernacle? What was God communicating to His people by gifting them with the tabernacle? How does the tabernacle point to Jesus? By reading Exodus 40 and Hebrews 9-10, we learn that God wants to dwell with His people, that our sin separates us from a holy God, and that through Jesus we can draw near to the dwelling place of God. (Exodu...

The Ten Commandments are one of the most iconic passages of Scripture in the entire Bible, but they present an interesting question for gospel loving Christians. What is the relationship of the law to the gospel of grace? How are we both “no longer under the law” and yet called to obey “all His commands”? Why do we embrace these commands that God gave Moses on the mountain, but dismiss almost all the rest of them? How do we re...

After delivering His people from slavery in Egypt, the Lord took the children of Israel on a long journey of a changed manner of life to root out the evils of their past. And while it is easy to look down on them for their constant grumbling, the truth is that we are on the same journey of sanctification, and often don’t fare any better. But the good news is that God is gracious and merciful to us as our spiritual growth has i...

The crossing of the Red Sea is the most well-known of all the stories of Exodus, and it can be explored from many points of view. But it is ground zero for what we believe about God, about the Scriptures, and how we walk in faith with Him. The crossing of the Red Sea forces us to answer three important questions: Do we believe that God is sovereign over creation? Do we believe that the Scriptures are trustworthy? Do we believe...

The call of Moses was both unique and common to all people of God. If you are a follower of Christ, you have both been called and are being called. That is why learning from the excuses Moses gave to God as to why he could not do what God was telling him to do is so important for us today. We give the same excuses, but God calls us to His own purposes and grace. By taking a closer look at this story, we see that we all stand b...

The truth that we are justified by faith is more than a doctrine to debate. It is a life changing experience. Those who are justified by faith are crucified with Christ, our old selves die with Christ, and we are made alive, born again. The life we now live, we live by faith in the Jesus Christ who lives in us and for us. And if God is for us, who can be against us? (Galatians 2.15-21) June 5, 2022

When we are justified by faith in Christ Jesus, we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Those who belong to God have the Spirit dwelling in them. And since we have new life through the Spirit, we should walk in the Spirit and keep in step with the Spirit. This is the way that followers of Christ put to death the flesh. But how do we walk by the Spirit? (Galatians 5.16-26) May 29, 2022

Scripture tells us that it was for freedom that Christ has set us free. In fact, we have been called to freedom. But what does that mean? Does that mean that since our sins are forgiven we are now free to do whatever we want? No, what we discover is that we have been set free from sin so that we can belong to Christ and bear fruit for God. (Galatians 5.1-15) May 22, 2022

The Scriptures tell us that the “righteous shall live by faith,” but what does righteousness mean? Righteousness describes the person and character of God. Righteousness also describes the righteousness of Christ imputed by faith. But righteousness also describes the pursuit of those who have been justified by faith. How do we pursue righteousness in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of works? (Galatians 3.10-14...
