Psalm 78 44:21

13d ago44:21

44:21

Discussion Questions: What is the gospel? What is your favorite portrayal of the gospel in scripture? What is the "obedience of faith"? How does it play out in your life? (Romans 1:5; 14:23; 16:26) What is real, biblical freedom? Do you have it? How would you know? (Galatians 5:1)By Michael McCracken

Psalm 77 39:33

21d ago39:33

39:33

You welcomed me into the roar of the waterfalls and out where the waves could crush me. The One who walks on waves has taken us far fromBethlehem and away from the safety of our sheep into deep waters. In the sea and through the great waters we learn how to cray aloud to God AND how to meet Him there.…

Psalm 76 39:23

28d ago39:23

39:23

Do we know God? His people are supposed to know Him. Perhaps the difficulty we have reading and studying a text with little to know personal application points to the great barrier of a heart that knows God.By Michael McCracken

Psalm 75 37:19

1M ago37:19

37:19

This Psalm alludes to the fact that there is a connection between gratitude and the nearness of God. The Psalmist presents 5 eternal realities of God for which we should be ultimately grateful. The barrier can be, however, that we sometimes place ourselves in the position of “god” and see ourselves as fulfilling these things. Therefore, we realize …

Jacob - A True Coming to Age Story 41:12

2M ago41:12

41:12

“He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” There is so much hope for us in that verse from Philippians 1:6. If we are being honest with ourselves it is likely that we often feel like an incomplete project at best. It is such good news for our soul to consider no only that God mercifully saved us, but t…

Jacob - A True Coming to Age Story 1:03:04

2M ago1:03:04

1:03:04

Obeying God’s instruction (Genesis 31:3), Jacob leaves Paddan-aram and heads home to Canaan and his father, Isaac. Needless to say this trip, like all of life, has some serious bumps in the road; Jacob’s deception, Rachael’s theft and Laban’s angry attempt at manipulation. Through it all the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob proves Himself faithful t…

Jacob: A True Coming of Age Story 41:49

4M ago41:49

41:49

The Kingdom of God is the work of God’s sovereign grace. Over and again we see that God works in the lives of fallen people. As we have noted so far, the story of Jacob and his family is anything but neat and tidy. However, we cannot forget that the Living God is going to bring salvation to the world through this family. God overruled all the famil…

There is a truth given to us by Jesus that we need to believe. It’s actually to our advantage that Christ would go to the Father SO that the Spirit could be sent to us.

“Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called sons of God.” Jesus, who is our prince of peace showed us what it looks like to be someone who makes peace. However, Jesus is THE Prince of Peace because He is only One who could ever make peace for us with God!

Wonderful Counselor 42:35

Scripture makes it plain that we have terrible taste in seeking counsel for this life. There is no question that we desperately need a wonderful counselor, but how would we know if we had come into contact and enjoyment the child given unto us?By Michael McCracken

Church Discipline: 5W’s: • Why: God’s glory, Preparation of the Bride of Christ, Restoration, Freedom, Protection, To point all involved back to a right relationship with our Heavenly Father • What: The gift of loving confrontation for believers in their unrepentant sin, holding them accountable to a publicly professed commitment. • Where: Inside t…

Why The Church? 38:51

8M ago38:51

38:51

The 5th century church father Augustine referred to Baptism and the Lord’s Supper as “visible words.” We know that when children are learning, they often need pictures or tangible objects to help them understand a lesson. This is what God provides for us in Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. He comes down to us, His beloved children, with visible and t…

Why The Church? 51:28

8M ago51:28

51:28

We were built for commitment by a God who reveals Himself in large part through His commitments, promises, and covenants. Our contention is that one would be hard pressed to commit their way unto the Lord unless their “way” could sustain a life fully committed to being a healthy, functioning part of the body of Christ.…

What a blessing to be members of the household of God; the assembly of the LORD; the LORD’s treasured possession; the apple of His eye; His little flock; sons of the resurrection; those called and chosen and faithful; His bride; those who share in the first resurrection; and those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Revelation 21 44:16

Far above a vision for getting to walk on streets of gold, we have a vision of being loved proportionate to the longings and love of our own heart.

Revelation 20 40:49

9M ago40:49

40:49

Are you going to live out the great commission to make disciples of Jesus to the ends of the earth? If yes, then to some degree the only thing that matters is that all authority in heaven and on earth now belong to Jesus AND Jesus is going to be with us to the end of the age!…until He returns. That being said, it would seem likely that the great co…

Revelation 19 46:54

9M ago46:54

46:54

In this chapter we see a tale of two stories…two feasts. One story leads to everlasting life and joy and pleasures forevermore and the other leads to death. Everything that is good, right, and true can be found inside the true story. Everything outside of that story is ultimately a lie and bound for destruction in the end.…

Revelation 18 44:50

We need to pay attention to the things that bring us joy and the things that bring us grief. Let us not simply assume that our hearts will be aligned with God’s heart in the end. In His providence we are given glimpses over and over again to know that which we truly love.By Michael McCracken

Revelation 17 42:34

10M ago42:34

42:34

As we have seen previously God’s judgment can look like taking something that should be a blessing and making it a curse for those who have rejected Him. In a similar way, we will see in this chapter how God can take something of a curse and make it a blessing. The wilderness always has a negative connotation except for when we see it has preservin…

Revelation 15-16 43:42

43:42

The seven bowls of God’s wrath are a depiction that God is going to pour out his wrath fully on the un-godly with no chance for repentance afterwards. The bowls are repeatedly poured out throughout the Church Age culminating in the return of Christ and the final destruction of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet.…

Revelation 14 47:51

10M ago47:51

47:51

It is good that we are reminded at this point in Revelation that there is an eternal gospel to be shared and to be believed in light of impending judgment. It is so tempting try to decode everything in order to make a prediction about when the judgment may come. That isn’t the purpose of the revelation. The purpose is that our endurance would be ba…

The dragon has been thrown down and he is furious. He has turned his attention to make war on those who hold to the faith in Jesus. His antics are not new, but they are powerful.

Truly God Is Good 40:25

40:25

A theme emerges in scripture around the idea of being envious of evildoers and sinners. Throughout the ages people have struggled with the reality that those who do evil seem to flourish and be successful. Scripture doesn’t shy away from the fact that good things don’t always happen to those who “do good” and that bad things don’t always happen to …

Hoping In A Person 45:32

11M ago45:32

45:32

The gospel is ultimately hoping in a person. Our hope is that by faith in Christ we are bestowed with His righteousness, sins forgiven, and relationship with God restored. As it turns out, scripture is a narrative that shows that we really have been hoping in “persons” since the beginning. We prove over and over again that we were made for this. Th…
