“But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen” – 2 Pet. 3:18

  • Behold His Incarnate Glory

    For a few weeks now we have looked at John’s prologue from which the rest of his gospel will flow. In the gospels of Matthew and Luke we see the historical evidence of Jesus’ incarnation, but in John’s gospel we see the theological exposition of Christmas. There is a key phrase that is both the

  • Behold His Illuminating Glory

    Are you afraid of the dark? You may have been when you were just a little kid, but I would bet that even now you’d have some nervousness if let all alone in the pitch black. Unless of course, you have a light or see a light. Light makes all the difference. As a scared

  • Weary Heart Remember

    When I am weary with faith so frail When Satan’s arrows against me rail When my battled heart is broken, lost unsure of what to do Then I remember Christ was weary, broken, tempted too When I am lonely and filled with dread When doubting thoughts cloud my head When my battled heart is broken,

  • Behold His Infinite Glory

                Christmas time is upon us. You are probably either a Grinch or a Cindy Lou Who right about now. We’ve barely gotten the taste of Thanksgiving turkey out of our mouth, and it is time for Christmas cookies. I know that the season is supposed to be one that is merry and bright, yet

  • Connected and Comforted Through Prayer Pt.2

    Secondly, we need to see that we must can and must be comforted in Christ which is seen in Paul’s purposeful closing of the letter in Eph. 6:21-24 which says, “21But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known

  • Connected and Comforted Through Prayer Pt.1

    This is the last passage of our study through Ephesians. We have focused on our wealth (who we are and what we have) in Christ and our walk (the practical daily life) in Christ. The book of Ephesians is one that could be studied and restudied continuously. Paul’s letter to the church at Ephesus is

  • The Expectations and Equipment of the Christian Soldier Pt.2

    The second thing that we must see is the equipment of the Christian soldier. It is hard to stand in fight if you don’t know your enemy, expectations, equipment, or the empowerment that you’ve been given in Christ. As we have stated throughout our study of Ephesians, you can’t practically walk unless you do so

  • The Expectations and Equipment of the Christian Soldier Pt. 1

    Podcasts are all the rage these days. Our culture and social media in general are inundated with podcasts galore. I too have a selection of podcasts that I keep up with, but specifically I’m drawn to podcasts who are hosted by former special operators from various military branches. I find their frankness, life experiences, and

  • Standing Against the Enemy Pt.2

    Second, let’s look at the Devil’s schemes. Sinclair Ferguson writes, “As in all warfare, the two essential elements in victory are knowing your enemy and knowing your resources.” I believe that many believers don’t know their enemy and they don’t know their own resources in Christ. You won’t know how to fight if you don’t

  • Standing Against the Enemy Pt.1

    Each time that I study, but especially preach Eph. 6:10-18 I experience a weightiness in the text that burdens my heart. Preaching about standing against the enemy of Christ, the Church, and the Christian’s walk is exhausting. It is frightening. It is burdensome. It is tiresome. But it is necessary. There is a different burden
