Isaiah 36-37 reminds us that God is more powerful than any enemy. No kingdom, regardless its size or power, can overpower the almighty God. We serve the Almighty Victorious Savior. Though we have an enemy that lies to us, hopes to intimidate us, hopes to get us to doubt God’s word and power, he is […]

Because of Paul’s brief time in Thessalonica, he feared that the Thessalonians were in grave danger of spiritual attack from the enemy. Thankfully, they stood firm. A Christian’s greatest need is to stand firm on Christ…and we need God’s help to do it.

People wonder about church: does it really work? Is there anything to this Jesus that is preached in the Bible…or is it just another sales pitch? Where is the proof? The answer is simple, and so is the evidence. Yes, it works…the proof is the very existence of the church itself. God’s word does work, […]

There is hardly any greater contrast than that between heaven and hell, eternal salvation vs. eternal damnation. Yet both are real. These are real futures that will be faced by real people. The only way we will experience heaven? Jesus. We all deserve the righteous wrath of God; we only receive blessed redemption through His […]

It is rather sad how little some churches speak of Jesus’ resurrection, considering how often it was the primary subject of apostolic preaching. It wasn’t something that was reserved for Easter; it was the central proclamation of the church. Why? Because it is the primary proof that Jesus is the Lord, the Christ.

The Bible is clear that there is but one way to be saved: faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. But what happens when people can’t see Him? What happens when the church who is supposed to proclaim Christ gets in the way of seeing Christ? We need to get out of the way!

In light of our decrepit decaying nation, isn’t it good to know there is a better kingdom coming? God has promised a perfect King and a perfect kingdom, one that not only includes Israel but extends over all the world. Jesus is this King and His future kingdom is very real.

As Paul begins his first letter to the Thessalonians, he both greets the church and expresses his thanks and joy over them. The Thessalonians had been saved by the Lord Jesus and that was something they hadn’t hidden away. They were truly changed by Christ and the change was seen by everyone around them. Don’t […]

When we have access to Almighty God, why would we turn anywhere else for help? It is so foolish. When faced with problems, our gut-reaction is so often turning to politics, to panic, or to other strategies. What we ought to do is pray. Jesus is our real and living help.

As Paul brings the letter of Colossians to a close, he leaves with some parting thoughts and parting greetings. It is a very personal section of the letter, which underscores a basic point: the work goes on…it continues. The mission continued and the Christians were not alone as they did so.
