Matthew 24
Matthew 24
This sermon explores why the Bible is divided into the Old and New Testaments, showing how both parts tell one unified story of God’s plan for salvation. The Old Testament reveals the covenant with Abraham and the promise of a coming Messiah, while the New Testament fulfills that promise through Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. Together, they form a scarlet thread of…
Micah 5:1-5 This lesson explores why Bethlehem—small, overlooked, and seemingly insignificant—became one of the most meaningful locations in Scripture. Tracing its appearances from Rachel’s sorrowful death, to Ruth and Naomi’s redemption, to David’s longing for its “special water,” the message shows how each moment foreshadowed the glory, redemption, and eternal life found in Christ. Bethlehem’s layered history reveals God’s intentional design across…

Romans 3:25; 1 John 2:2; 1 John 4:10; Hebrews 2:17 This lesson explores the profound meaning of Christ as our “propitiation,” drawing from key New Testament passages (Romans 3:25; 1 John 2:2, 4:10; Hebrews 2:17).

This lesson encourages believers to trust in Jesus’ commandments and promises, offering hope…
Romans 4:23-5:21 In this lesson, we explore the profound impact of Jesus Christ’s sacrificial death and resurrection, drawing parallels to the cracking of the Enigma code during World War II. Just as the code breakers’ efforts led to a pivotal victory, Christ’s triumph over sin and death grants us justification and peace with God.
Mark 7: 31-37; Mark 8:22-26; John 9:1-41 When studying the Bible, one of the most important things for us to do is also one of the most difficult. We need to take ourselves out of the equation. When we’re studying the Bible, it’s not a question of how something sounds to us or how something makes us feel. When we interact with…
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 I could spend months looking solely at the letters to the Thessalonians! But today, I’d like us to look towards the end of the letter. For, as we find ourselves nearing the end of the letter, Paul turns to the biggest problem that was facing the hearts of the Christians in Thessalonica: a similar problem facing many of us…
1 John 4:7-21 This morning, we discussed how we are to have love for our brothers and sisters and how this love is to be a sacrificial love. Tonight, we are going to look at the very fount of love, Himself: God. So much of what the world views as love today has nothing to do with the true and pure love…
