What OT Laws Apply to Us Today? This is a question asked by many, both in the Church and in society as a whole.

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments,…

In my preparation for this series on the Ten Commandments I have come to the sad realization that it is not sufficient for me to preach upon how we obey each of the Ten Commandments, but why we should obey them. Increasingly, people who claim fidelity to God and His Word derive their morality from society…

Verse Memorization - Colossians 3:1-16 Turn to and read Ecclesiastes 8:1-5 . Pray.

Who is as the wise man ? and who knoweth…

We live in a broken, messed up world. (examples) How did it get this way? Some say it just is like this, and there’s no God. Just chance. Some say if there’s a God, He doesn’t care or isn’t able to do anything about this. Some say there’s a God and His ways are so mysterious that we can’t make any of…

Romans 13:1-7 Paul’s takes an interesting and surprising turn in chapter 13. Those in Christ must be “subject” or submissive to their human authorities in government. God is saying, one’s place in God’s kingdom does not allow us to ignore those in charge of whatever earthly kingdom we dwell in now. Yes…

Intro – In 1857 the U.S. Supreme Court made a decision that today looks absolutely ridiculous . 7 of 9 Justices decided that a black slave named Dred Scott was nothing more than the property of his owner – and thus he had no rights as a citizen and no protection under the law of the United States or…

Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live…

Responding to the Government This is another significant area of Christian response. We’ve considered how Christians should respond to others (12:14-16), to evil (12:17-21), and now to the government. This is in tune with discerning the good, acceptable, perfect will of God (12:2), and in tune with relating…

Mission Updates Verse Memorization If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life,…

Christians are often compared to butterflies, transformed from the state of caterpillars. However, can butterflies regress to caterpillars? Can Christians regress to the idolatry of worldly politics and ideologies? If we are not good stewards of the kingdom, we may regress, just as the chief priests and Pharisees did.
