What All-Powerful Actually Means — and What It Doesn't

Jeremiah's prophecy and the Babylonian exile serve as a reminder of God's power and sovereignty, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. As Christians, it's essential to understand that God's power is not limited by human understanding or expectations, and that faith and obedience are crucial in times of trial and uncertainty. God's promises and plans are always at work, even when we don't see immediate results, and trusting in His goodness and faithfulness is key to navigating life's complexities. [... more]

The Master’s Men (Pt. 3) (Luke 6:15b-16)

Jesus chooses ordinary people to be his disciples, not based on their spiritual heritage or impressive qualities, but on their willingness to follow and be taught. The twelve apostles, including James the son of Alpheus, Simon the Zealot, Judas Thaddeus Lebaeus, and Judas Iscariot, demonstrate the importance of humility and faithfulness in their service to Christ, and show that our service for Christ doesn't have to be recognized on earth to be rewarded in heaven.

The New Marriage (Romans 7:1–4)

The concept of marriage as a binding covenant is rooted in natural law, understood intuitively by people everywhere, regardless of their faith or background. Paul's teachings in Romans chapter 7 emphasize the limitation of the law, which only has jurisdiction over the living, and the importance of understanding the natural law of marriage as a lifelong commitment. In Christ, believers are released from the law and joined to their perfect husband, Jesus Christ, in a union that cannot be broken. [... more]
