Blameless bishops Text: Titus 1:6,7 (Stephen’s service) We’re going to take these qualifications slowly. This seems to be how the LORD puts people into leadership in churches. He doesn’t ask them if they were “called.” Which seems to be the only qualification in independent Baptist circles. I’ve listened to preacher after preacher talk about making […]

Trust the Lord What does it mean to trust him? Text: Proverbs 3:5-10 Ready? I’m about to give you an instruction that has no meaning. Trust the LORD.

Israel’s fall and the glorious new covenant! Text: Romans 11 Who are God’s people? (vss 1-6) The nation of Israel are not God’s people because only faithful people are God’s people.

Love your brother (Love One Another by Joe Hons) Text: Philemon Imagine someone stole from you. If it’s ever happened you probably feel betrayed. You feel vulnerable.

God’s righteousness in Jesus Christ. Text: Romans 10 Israel’s failure to accept God’s righteousness (vss 1-4) The fact that Jesus Christ is the end of the law for righteousness is a way of saying Christianity is the fulfillment of Judaism. To revert back to the law of Moses, or to the old covenant, or even […]

True conversion. Text: James (outline) Let’s Write a Letter Gentiles – Acts 15:12-29 James directs writings to be made to the Gentiles to instruct them in the Lord Jesus Christ and true conversion.
