Sound Truths
Paul’s letter to the church in Ephesus is one of incredible value to Christians. It’s chock-full of doctrinal truths about the gospel of Christ, His love for us, and our responsibilities in the faith. Today I’d like to look at Paul’s opening statement in Ephesians 1, and explore the humility of his calling. Paul, an […]
As we explored a couple months ago, the word “gospel” means good news, specifically good news sent from heaven. And this good news is a vast, deep well of incredible truths of God’s love manifested for us in Christ. But for today let’s look at the opening of Ephesians chapter 1 and explore the beauty […]

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 […]
