What God Promises, God Gives
Abram returns to Canaan and to worship, but abundance soon creates conflict between his household and Lot's. Though Abram has every right to choose first, he pursues peace and lets Lot select the land. Lot chooses by sight, while Abram rests his future on God's promise. In “What God Promises, God...

Our Failures, God’s Faithfulness | Genesis 12:10-20
Abram obeys God’s call, but a severe famine hits the land God promised him. Genesis 12:10–20 follows him into Egypt, where fear leads him to protect himself with a half-truth that endangers his wife and God's promises. The plan works, and that is the unsettling part. God may permit an unfaithful...

Living on God’s Promises | Genesis 12:4–9
How do God’s people keep obeying and worshiping while they wait for His promises to be fulfilled? Genesis 12:4–9 shows Abram entering Canaan without possessing the land and still without the offspring God promised. Abram can obey God’s command, but he cannot produce the promised future.…

The Promise That Shapes the Story | Genesis 12:1-3
Genesis 12:1–3 begins with God calling Abram. God speaks, calls him away from everything familiar, and promises a future Abram cannot produce for himself. Abram has no map, no child, and no way to know how God will fulfill His promises. All he has is God’s word. In this opening sermon from God’s...

What Are You Giving Yourself To? | Titus 3:9-15
At the end of Titus, Paul asks us to consider what our religious activity is actually producing in us. Christian subject matter is not automatically spiritually profitable. One evidence that truth is forming us is that we remain correctable by truth, willing for God’s Word to expose what we have...

He Saved Us | Titus 3:3-8
What actually explains the difference between who you were and who you are? In Titus 3:3-8, Paul refuses to let the answer be anything we did, decided, or finally got serious about. He first reminds Christians what we all once were, leaving no ground for contempt toward people who still live as…

Saving Grace Is Training Grace | Titus 2:11-14

What Kind of Man Are You Becoming | Titus 2:1, 6-8
Culture offers loud and conflicting answers about what it means to be a man, but Scripture speaks clearly. Titus 2 presents a vision of biblical manhood that is neither about dominance nor passivity, but about a life increasingly shaped by God's grace. Older men are called to be sober-minded,...

Shaped By Sound Doctrine
How does Christ actually change ordinary people? In Titus 2:1, Paul turns from the false teachers whose lives denied their profession and commands Titus to "teach what accords with sound doctrine." Healthy doctrine is more than correct information. It is God's revealed truth shaping the faith,...

When False Teaching Corrupts the Church - Titus 1:10-16
It is possible to say all the right things about God while living in a way that contradicts everything you claim to believe. In Titus 1, the Apostle Paul draws a sharp contrast between those whose knowledge of God produces genuine godliness and those whose profession of faith is hollow. True...

Entrusted | Titus 1:5-9

The Garments of Grace | Colossians 3:12-14
The Christian life flows from identity, not toward it. In Colossians 3:12-14, Paul reminds believers that they are chosen, holy, and beloved before commanding them to put on five Christ-like virtues: compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. These virtues work themselves…
more -
Put Sin to Death | Colossians 3:5-11
In Colossians 3:5–11, Paul calls believers to put sin to death, put away the old life, and live from their new identity in Christ. This is not a call to earn God’s acceptance through better behavior. It is a call to gospel-shaped holiness: because believers have died and been raised with Christ,...
-
Hidden with Christ | Colossians 3:1-4
In Colossians 3:1–4, Paul shows us that the Christian life is lived from our union with the risen, reigning, and returning Christ. Before he tells believers what to put to death, he reminds them who they are in Christ: raised with Him, hidden with Him, and destined to appear with Him in…

-
Complete in Christ | Colossians 2:11-15
Paul reveals in Colossians 2:11-15 that Christ alone is sufficient for our salvation and spiritual growth.

-
Don't Be Carried Off | Colossians 2:8-10

The Image of the Invisible God
