Easter/Resurrection morning is a wonderful day to be together to worship the LORD. We do this every Sunday. We gather. We sing. We pray. We study God’s Word together; we take a portion of verses from the Bible and I (along with other men in the church) preach about what those verses mean and how they…

Context I know I said we were going to be starting a study on David, but I think that it is important to cover something this morning.

He is risen! Our entire faith rests on the fact that Jesus is alive. If he never came back to life, our faith is worthless, because there is no hope. We know that Jesus is who he said he is because he came back to life. Each of the Gospels records the amazing story of Jesus’ resurrection, well at least…

Knowing our context is vital and it is no different in scripture. As we read and study we must be aware of the context in…

Holy Ambition Hannah’s home life was sometimes hard, as she had to contend with a second wife in the marriage. 2 He had two wives. The name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other, Peninnah.

Some of the rules that we are going to see today from God’s Word for men and women in the church are not just mere rules. Why? Because they reflect the sort of difference and complementary design God has had for us His image bearers from the very beginning. In fact, this is exactly the ground work that…
