So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The Corinthians were embroiled in conflict and strife over what may seem to us now a very silly issue. They had divided themselves into factions over which Christian leader they were loyal to. We must…
The sanctity of human life in the womb.
Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” The first half of this verse applies to all humans. The second part applies specifically to the prophet Jeremiah but has implications for all God’s people. In…

Babel
The story of the Tower of Babel in Genesis chapter 11 is a historical narrative of the first recorded form of government gone awry. The people set themselves up in defiance of God’s will and God simply did not allow their plan to succeed. Why? Because as Proverbs 21:30 reminds us There is no wisdom,…

Sunday’s Coming
Last week’s lesson left us at the tomb. Jesus was dead and buried. It was Friday, but Sunday was coming. The disciples that had so faithfully followed Him for three years had all deserted Him. Judas had betrayed Him to those who crucified Him. Peter, who had vowed to die with Jesus (Matthew 26:35), Peter…
The Crucifixion
This week’s sermon focused on Jesus’ death on the cross. All four Gospels give an account of the crucifixion (Matthew 27:31–56, Mark 15:22–41, and Luke 23:32–49) but our focus today will be on John’s account recorded for us in John 19:17–42.
