When you start your day in the Word, it means the foundation of your day will be built on the cornerstone, which is Jesus Christ. When we are moored to the Word of God, we will surely never drift away. 

The author of Hebrews is intent to show that Jesus is higher than the angels. Why was this so important? While we work to answer this question, we also learn some amazing things about our Lord. One of the things we learn is that we are loved by a Great Great God!

This introduction to Hebrews just scratches the surface of the nature of Jesus Christ. One point that stands out in this study is that Jesus is the radiance of God's glory. What an amazing truth to contemplate as we consider that such a Majestic Creator would consider us. This perspective should have quantifiable impacts on your worship.

It may surprise you that many who profess to be Christians in America today, do not actually believe in the literal, physical, bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. This Sunday, while celebrating the resurrection of our Lord, we will discuss what Paul has to say about this event and how it is tied to our faith. He Has Risen!

This week we finish Paul's letter to Philemon. Paul appeals to Philemon's faithfulness to set the stage for the reconciliation of Onesimus. This story is a beautiful picture of how we, as believers, are reconciled to our Loving God!

This week we will dive into the letter from Paul to Philemon. A letter that is an amazing and uplifting story of reconciliation. The opening gives us a glimpse into a healthy and loving home church. Our study today should have you wondering if Paul wrote a letter to your church, would it bear the same message of joy and comfort?

Chad White walks us through what it means to honor your father. An important message that helps us to understand what God wants for us as believers and the legacy that we will leave for our own children.

This is the final study in the Epistle to Titus. In this lesson we will be stirred to ask the question of ourselves: What can I do more for Jesus? When realize just how amazing the work of salvation is, it should motivate us to lead in good works!

Being released from the bonds of slavery by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, is the most liberating event that can happen in a person's life. When you have surrendered to Christ, it is hard to look back on the slave you once were. As we are encouraged in Galatian 5 “It was for freedom that Christ set us free. Therefore, stand firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.”

Look back to that moment when you realized initially just how precious God's grace is to your salvation. When you realized that you were saved. Then live in that moment of grace. Adorn yourself with the doctrine of God. Wear it everywhere you go. Speak boldly of the Gospel, work zealously out of that grace and realize that you belong to our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ!

Paul calls Titus to teach the men and women of the church about the conduct of believers. Men and women should be aware of how they act and what they say. Not just because they are trying to be "good." But because they are setting the example for younger believers. Teaching young believers has as much to do with what we do, as what we say. This is a great lesson on being a good example for our young men and women.

We should be able to find joy in knowing that we are striving to honor our Father through sound teaching. Clinging to the truth of the Gospel and doing good out of our love for Him. And never being afraid to call out that which is ungodly. Because...we know our God!

In Paul's Epistle to Titus, there are many parallels in the requirements of an elder that are expressed to Timothy. This helps support the consistency that Paul expects in the leadership of the church. But in this passage we see something very interesting. Paul calls the elders to be "God's Steward." This study helps us understand the important role an elder/pastor has for a local congregation.

The introduction of Paul's Epistle to Titus reveals some really interesting theological truths. The truths about how we are saved are all manifested in God's perfect timing. When things are not always going our way, we must be reminded that all things are happening in God's perfect timing.

The letter that Paul writes to Titus begins with Paul saying that he is a slave of Jesus Christ. This seems like a strange way to introduce yourself. Join us to see what Paul really means. People are all a slave to something; to sin or to God. And the rewards are vastly different!

My God is so big that He stretched the expanse of the universe and hung the stars, yet He still loves me. He loves me so much that He shared His name with me. He is the restorer of my soul, made me wise to His ways, He has given me a reason to rejoice, enlightened me and has shown me how much He loves me by making me HIS righteousness. We worship a Good Good God!

On Christmas Eve we are meeting to celebrate the Lord's Day. On this Sunday we discuss that God's love for us is not just a feeling, it is an action. Therefore, the love that we have for each other should be active! I am hoping this message finds you well, filled with the peace and joy of Christ Jesus, and having a Very Merry Christmas!

The third week of Advent tradition is to pray for Joy! This study examines Romans 15:13 and Paul's prayer for joy in the midst of understanding self-denial. Join us as we examine what joy really is and how we can receive this gift from God.

Millions across the world will begin celebrating Advent today. The first day of the Christmas season. As we all prepare to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, we can be reminded that God also prepared for our salvation. We know from Ephesians 1 that Jesus Christ was the plan for being reconciled from before the foundation of the world. But where do we see God's plan for salvation revealed in scripture first? Join us today as we look at the Protoevangelium from Genesis 3:15, and see the Lord's plan come to life in the Scriptures.

In this final lesson on the Trinity, we will discuss how the Trinity plays an essential role in the redemptive process. If you believe in Jesus Christ as your redeemer, if you believe that you are saved, you believe in a Triune God. Each person of the Trinity having a specific role in the salvation of man, for the glory of God!
