Commit to Come Back Sunday Evenings

Between now and June, we have ten Sunday nights. However, four of those are scheduled as Sabbath Sunday nights—times intentionally set aside for rest. On those evenings, there will be no services. That leaves six Sunday nights. So here is my question: Will you be...

The Great Commission

After Jesus rose from the grave, He received all authority in heaven and on earth from the Father (Mat 28:18). He then gave His disciples their mission, the Great Commission. Different aspects of the same commission are recorded in five locations in the NT. When we...

Lord’s Supper New Covenant vs. Covenant of Grace

As we continue looking at the Lord’s Supper in the bulletin, I want to remind the church that participants in the Lord’s Supper celebrate the New Covenant (NC), not a covenant of grace with the supper. Our Presbyterian and Reformed brothers and sisters believe in a...

Oversight over the Lord’s Supper

Do the elders of a local New Covenant church have an oversight responsibility over the Lord’s Table as it relates to the Lord’s Supper? Elders are overseers. See Titus 1:5b–7a. In Acts 20:17, Paul calls for the elders of the church, and then in verse 28, Paul charges...

Have you ever received a Christmas card with Isaiah 9:6 cited on the card? For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father,...

Concrete vs. Abstract

As I learn something, I share it with you. That’s the way it has been for the past nineteen years, and that’s the way it will continue until Christ returns. For the past year, we have been using the acronym COMA for Bible study. Hopefully, we have said it so often...

Our Screens are keeping us from 4 P’s

Last week, I listened to an interview with Paul Kingsnorth, author of Against the Machine, on Socrates in the City on my device. You can find it on YouTube—it is worth all 1:07:40 of your time. In the interview, Kingsnorth rightly suggested that our screens are...
