  • Responses to Questions: Part 15
    1. Did Jesus die for the sins of all people or only of those He knew
    would become Christians? And if He did die for all people’s sins,
    then why would we not say that everyone will be saved?
    2. I was raised in the Lutheran church. When the Lord’s Prayer was said,
    it ended in “Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory
    Forever. Amen.” This is not actually part of the prayer. Do you know
    how it got to be said?
    3. What are the prerequisites for partaking in the Lord’s Supper? Is it
    for the baptized Christians only?

  • O Love That Will Not Let Me Go (Romans 8:26-39)
    The story behind the hymn “O Love That Will Not Let Me Go” is
    soul-stirring. What’s even more powerful is the text from which its ideas
    are drawn - Romans 8. We dive into this text in order to see the truths
    which ground our confidence in a divine love which will not let us go.

  • War Against the Darkness 3: The Serpent and the Satan (Ezekiel 28:11-19)
    Everything looks good in God’s creation until this serpent figure shows up
    in Genesis 3. So who is he? And what about the use of the word “Satan”
    later in the Scriptures? Is there a discernible backstory here? What was
    this being’s original purpose? How did he become what he did? These
    questions may not be answered as definitely as we have assumed or as we
    would like, but we can at least discern some plausible information.

  • Ruth and Naomi (Ruth 1:1-18)
    Naomi and Ruth do not have a biological mother-daughter relationship. But
    their story becomes one fo the most powerful mothering stories in the
    Bible, especially how adults continue to foster mother-daughter
    relationships far beyond childhood.

  • Grief and Guilt (2 Samuel 18:17-33)
    David’s reaction to his son Absalom’s death is gut-wrenching. For those who
    have lost someone close to them, a wide range of feelings can accompany
    grief. One of these is often guilt. We use David’s moment of grief as a
    springboard for considering the types of guilt we may experience after
    losing someone.

  • Lamentations and Jesus
    As part of our series of looking at how each Bible book finds resolution in
    Jesus, we examine Lamentations and its themes of godly repentance and the
    hope which is tied to God’s faithfulness.

  • War Against the Darkness 2: Angels, Giants and Conquest (Genesis 6:1-4)
    In the second lesson in our series exploring spiritual warfare, we take a
    look at a passage which has been problematic or at least strange for
    biblical interpreters - the origin of some unusually large people called
    the Nephilim in Genesis 6. And they actually show up again in and around
    the land of Canaan when it’s time for the Conquest of the land. So where
    did these giant people come from? Why are they targeted in the Conquest of
    Canaan? And what does all this have to do with war in the heavenly realm?

  • Five Languages of Atonement (Romans 5:6-10)
    Since “Atonement” is one of those words which may strike us as too
    theological to comprehend, the Bible gives us several “languages” which
    communicate what atonement means using scenarios we can relate to. We
    explore 5 of these languages: The Battlefield, The Marketplace, The Temple,
    The Law Courts, and Exile. And we ask 3 questions of each: Where does this
    language place me w/out Jesus? Where does this language place Jesus? And
    where does this language place me once I am in Jesus?
