Sound Truths
One of the key tenants to the gospel, the Good News sent from heaven, is that our God is the God over all gods, Lord over all lords, King over all kings. If anyone is above our God, then our ability to put our hope for salvation in Him is in jeopardy because all of […]
It’s surprisingly hard to move through too many pages of Scripture before finding more threads of the gospel message. Today we’re once again in Genesis, looking at the shadow of Christ in the account of Joseph. Jacob had 12 sons, one of which was Joseph, and through these twelve came the 12 tribes of Israel […]
This weekend the ancient celebration of Passover begins. While many of us Gentile Christians don’t make a big deal of or even truly understand Passover, to the Israelites Passover was (and is to many today) a significant and important celebration of when God miraculously protected them from the plagues put on Egypt and led them […]
Last week we looked at the foreshadowing of the gospel found in the account of the Great Flood of Noah’s time. This week let’s look at another shadow of the gospel of Christ found in Genesis 22, the chronicle of Abraham and Isaac. A little history to set the stage: God promised Abraham that he […]
Last week we saw the beautiful picture of salvation woven into the very names of the generations from Adam to Noah. God’s sovereign plan to sanctify His saints was set in motion even before the first person ever set foot on earth. Today I’d like to look at the gospel found in the account of […]

Last week we looked at the meaning of the word gospel, which is to bring good and joyful news. This week we’ll go back to the beginning of our Bibles and look at some early hints of God’s ultimate redemptive plan. We all know the story of Adam and Eve’s first sin, found in Genesis […]
We are all familiar with the term “sharing the gospel” and it is a regular part of our Christian vocabulary. But what exactly is the gospel and why is it so important that we share it? Recently it’s been on my heart to start unpacking the true Biblical gospel of Christ, and for the next […]
We recently learned how, as true and obedient believers, we reflect God’s light into the world, and in doing so are called children of Light (Eph 5:8). Today we see Paul foster this thought more deeply as he continues to urge the Church to live our lives in a godly manner. But all things become […]
It’s been said that each day we have is a gift. This is true! Yet, it’s a gift that is also meant to be useful in service to the Lord. As we’ve seen throughout our study in Ephesians, the Apostle Paul put a strong emphasis on the necessity – in fact, the command – for […]
