Here we look at ten ways not to approach the Biblical Greek text. This will save us from much pain in doing Bible study and will help us know when someone else makes an error in commenting on the Greek. Brought to you by ChristianTeaching.org
This message exposits 2 Corinthians 5:14-6:2 to show that God desires to change a sinner's condition, relation, and position by new birth, reconciliation, and justification. All of this flows from Christ's cross and the message of salvation. Christ's love is compelling. The Gospel changes everything.
Discover what made the difference for Abraham through disillusion, trial, and obscurity. He honoured God faithfully, and that because of his faith. God expects us to trust Him even when we don't see the end; that is the secret to Christian endurance.
Taken from Jeremiah 9 and Psalm 27, this sermon challenges us to pursue God as the greatest passion of our life. And so we will discover that we must know God in suffering, in the sanctuary, in seeking, and in submission. Do you KNOW God?
Join us for our first study in Hebrews 11, and consider both what faith is and how it works. We will find it to act on what is future and invisible, yet it is no less real than what we see or feel. It is firmly rooted in God.
Today's message discusses three things that cannot justify, illustrated in the life of Abraham. Then, still following Abraham's example, we look at the quality of faith that God reckons as righteousness and thereby justifies a man. All this centers around the cross and resurrection, giving us an everlasting hope and growing joy in the God we have come to know.
Paul has just proven that the whole world is condemned. But God wants to show mercy. How can God forgive sinners without ignoring their sin and thus violating His justice? The cross answers this question so that God can be righteous in judging sin AND in forgiving sinners simultaneously. This message will explain Romans 3:19-28 and show how this works.
Beginning with the mandate of gospel preaching in Romans 10, we looked at how the gospel is developed in Romans with a view to systematically understanding and presenting it for ourselves. We use chapters 1-5 as a paradigm for how the gospel should be presented.
In this lecture we will look at general categories of Bible difficulties and how we should encounter them. Then we will give a brief introduction to higher criticism, anticipating the next lectures where we will actually delve into specific passages and issues.
Why should we believe the Old Testament is God's Word? Today we consider why it is consistent with its claim to be God's Word and what external validation it has. Be assured, this book is from God, and you can rest your life upon it.
