Meaningful Church Membership

This morning, I am using John 21:15–17 as a segue to teach about elders and shepherding. In this text, Jesus tells Peter to shepherd His sheep. But what does that mean? That is what I want to talk about. I am going to use the language of “meaningful” membership....

Resurrection Sunday – He is Risen

Faith in the bodily resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth unites all true Christians worldwide. Fundamental to Christianity is the absolute confidence that on the first day of the week Christ defeated death. Let’s quickly review what we all believe concerning the Person...

Palm Sunday: The Triumphal Entry of King Jesus

A New Covenant with the House of Israel

Q: “Pastor, what do we do with the reality that the New Covenant (NC) you keep talking about was promised to ‘the house of Israel’ and ‘the house of Judah’ in Jeremiah 31:31, and not the Gentile church? How can you say it applies to us when it refers to the house of...
