What About Abortion?
Many Bible Scriptures are often cited in abortion debates (pro-life vs. pro-choice). However, Galatians 5:20 is often overlooked. Pharmakeia (think pharmacy), translated as “witchcraft” (cf. NIV) actually refers to drugs…

Wisdom and Folly Personified: Abigail, Nabal & David (1 Samuel 25 Lesson) [Slideshow]
This account of the foolish and evil Nabal and the beautiful Abigail who has good understanding is sandwiched between two episodes (1 Sam 24, 26) in which David spares King Saul’s life. The placement is purposeful. Given the number of parallels between Nabal and Saul, the author(s) are likely engaging in “narrative analogy” — making a point without explicitly…

Lost & Found | Parable of the Prodigal Son Bible Study (Luke 15:11-32) [Slideshow+]
‘The Parable of the Two Lost Sons and Gracious Father’. Doesn’t have the same ring to it, right? Yet, it is likely a bit more accurate than “The Parable of the Prodigal Son” or “The Parable of the Lost Son”. All three main characters represent parties who are probably present when Jesus takes advantage of a teachable moment…
Lost & Found | Luke 15:11-32 Sermon (Parable of the Prodigal Son) [Video, Text+]
God’s grace is so amazing because, like the younger son, we don’t deserve it. We have all sinned and separate ourselves from God. And we cannot earn our reconciliation back to God simply by doing what we should have been doing in the first place. We need grace – unmerited, undeserved favor. We need grace that says: no matter what you’ve done, no matter how far you have fallen, no matter how many mistakes you have made, if you turn back to your Heavenly Father, He is not only waiting for you, He will run out to greet you, to throw His arms around you, and to kiss you tenderly as His child.

If We’re Following Christ, Christ Comes First | Mk 8:34-38 Bible Study [Slideshow+]
On the road of life, how tempting is it to type in our own GPS coordinates, head to where we want to go, and then ask God for traveling mercies? If we claim to follow Christ, however, we must let Jesus take the wheel. Following Jesus means we must be willing to “lose” our lives (metaphorically or even literally) for Christ. We must be ride-or-die.
If We’re Following Christ, Christ Comes First | Mk 8:34-38 Sermon [Video, Text]
After Peter’s great messianic confession and great messianic misunderstanding, Jesus clarifies the nature of His Messiahship and the nature of Christian discipleship. Anyone who wants to follow (behind) Him, must deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow. His followers must deny their self-centered desires, be willing to endure persecution/shame/death, and dedicate their lives to Him and the Gospel
Prison to Praise, Suffering to Salvation | Acts 16:16-34 Commentary
Paul frees a slave girl from spiritual bondage only to be thrown into physical bondage. Ironically, this leads to his jailer being set free from his spiritual bondage. Spreading the Gospel can lead to persecution and suffering. Yet, suffering can lead to salvation.
