I’ll admit it. The writings of Paul feel like home to me. If there is a place I want to make a beeline to in the Bible, outside of John’s Gospel, it’s the letters of Paul. But Galatians has always been a challenge for me. And in the spirit of leaning into a good challenge,Continue reading “Why Galatians?”

He mentioned Habakkuk and I initially wrinkled my nose at the proposition, which then drove me to conclude that we must preach through it. Habakkuk deals with anContinue reading “Why Habakkuk?”

In a conversation with one of my friends recently about this, he exclaimed, “Geez Nate, why did you pick that book! It’s so depressing.” I thought for a moment, chuckled, ( as previously, I had taught them throughContinue reading “Why Job?”

“Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” John 20:30-31 (ESV)  The Gospel of John is the most unique of theContinue reading “John: May He Be Known”

Beginning Sunday, September 19, we will launch an eleven week sermon series in the book of 1 Peter. Peter is an often neglected book of the New Testament, unfortunately overshadowed by Paul’s writings, the excitement of the Gospels, and the mystery of Revelation. However, this book is profitable, as is all of Scripture, for ourContinue reading “Why 1 Peter?”
