There’s a lot of rhetoric in our country about WHO to vote for. It’s essentially become a personality contest about who is the one to save our democracy. In reality, the only one that can save our country is Jesus. But with that, we do have a part to play in voting in our election. So we’re looking at WHAT to vote for, not WHO to vote for. We’re looking at what Scripture says about certain hot topics in our society.

How does God deal with sin in the New Covenant? Is God really a short-fused angry old guy in the sky that people sometimes paint HIm to be? How does God balance justice and mercy?

How forgiven are you? When you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, does Jesus merely wipe your past clean? What happens when we sin after we’re saved? Do we have to get saved again? What if I die before I have a chance to repent? Does sinning after we’re saved disqualify us from salvation or relationship with God? All are great questions and religion has done a poor job in giving answers. The only place that has these answers is in the Word of God. So let’s see what the Scripture has to say.

If you’ve been in church any amount of time, you may have read some stuff that seemed a little extreme in the Old Testament. Not just the Ten Commandments, but rules from shaving your beard to not eating shellfish. What things actually apply to us as New Covenant believers under grace? And more importantly, what was the purpose of all those rules in the first place?

“God is sovereign.” A phrase commonly heard in all of Christianity. But, where does it come from? What does the scripture actually say about God’s sovereignty? Is everything that happens entirely up to God? Let’s look through some scripture and see what God has to say about Himself.

Our words are the difference between us experiencing life and death. They are either containers of God’s power or working against God’s promises in our lives. Jesus said in Mark 11:23 “Whoever SAYS to this mountain…” When we learn to not only get God’s word in our heart, coming out of our mouth then we’ll see things begin to move in our life.

Jesus’ prayer in John 17 makes some claims that clash with traditional religious thinking. When we run across scripture that challenges worldviews and perspectives we previously held we have to make a decision. Are we going to agree or disagree with God? In John 17 Jesus speaks of how we’ve been complete and made perfect through our union with God.

Jesus is not only our Savior and Lord but also our teacher. Scripture says over and over again about how He went from town to town teaching. One of the many things He taught was how we pray. John 17 is a beautiful demonstration of all Jesus taught about prayer in action. It’s an account of one of the longest recorded prayers from Jesus in Scripture. Pastor Cory walks through parts of Jesus’ prayer and how we should pray in like manner.
