Standing firm on God’s Word means following Christ while rejecting cultural approval and religious compromise that leads to strange teachings, all while embracing the reproach of a cross-shaped faith.

In the valley of life’s gravest circumstances, we must firmly root our lives in the work of Jesus, remembering God’s promise to never desert or abandon us.

In light of God’s ultimate revelation in Christ, He will once again shake all that is temporary to establish His unshakable Kingdom. Therefore, we must worship God with reverence and awe, for He is a consuming fire who will judge sin.

God’s loving discipline focuses on our eternal joy rather than our temporal ease, ensuring that the fruit of our discipline is Christlikeness.

There is an inexpressible joy in looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, as we run with active endurance the race of life set before us.

Faith sees the unseen, chooses the eternal over the temporal, trusts in God's promises instead of the fleeting pleasures of sin, and receives salvation through the Person of Jesus Christ.

True faith in Christ shines brightest when obedience to Him transcends human reason. Abraham demonstrated this faith by his willingness to sacrifice his son to the God who provides, redeems, and—even from death—brings life.

True faith is rooted in a deep longing for Jesus Christ, trusting in His promises while serving as Christian exiles in this world, looking forward to a heavenly homeland.

God calls us to live by faith in Him, obey His word even when we don’t fully understand, and look beyond present circumstances toward the eternal city He has prepared for us.

Look To Jesus Christ in Faith and Live Eternally.

Faith embodies the assurance of what is hoped for, rooted in God’s promises, bringing forth the conviction that salvation comes to all who believe in Jesus Christ.

Falling into the hands of the living God in judgment, by rejecting His offer of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, is a terrifying reality.

Sins cannot be forgiven without the shedding of Jesus' blood, which grants us access to God’s heavenly sanctuary at Christ's return.

Jesus Christ, the Great High Priest, mediates the Superior Covenant of Grace, fulfilling God’s promise to inscribe His laws on the hearts of believers, rendering the Old Covenant obsolete.

Jesus, the Son of God, is our Great High Priest and eternal King of Righteousness, who has secured the blessings of God’s promises for all who believe in Him.

Amid the storms of life, the works of love, performed for the glory of the anchor of our soul, Jesus Christ, are evident signs that we will inherit the promises of God.

Scripture teaches that non-believers in the church will ultimately reject Christ, while true believers are motivated by the Spirit to grow spiritually by building on the foundational doctrines of the faith.

In our walk with Christ, we must pursue spiritual maturity by consuming the solid nourishment of God’s Word to distinguish good from evil.

God welcomes everyone to come to Him, but only through Jesus Christ, the Great High Priest, who intercedes on behalf of all believers.
