ARE YOU TRUSTING IN JESUS? by Pastor Scott Henry
“This is the will of the Father who sent Me that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day” (John 6:39). In the days of Noah there was ONLY one place of safety when the flood came and it was the Ark. In the same way, there...
GOD’S GRACE & PEACE by Pastor Scott Henry
“Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age…” (Galatians 1:3-4). “Grace and peace” are two of the most precious words in the Christian’s vocabulary, and...
ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN? by Pastor Scott Henry
“IF ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION: OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW” (2 CORINTHIANS 5:17). What is the Biblical definition of a Christian? Is it someone who has been baptized? Is it someone who has taken the Lord’s Supper?...
BIBLE STUDY STRUGGLES by Dr. Paul Tripp
I have a confession to make. It’s embarrassing and humbling, but I’m willing to make it publicly: I’m not always excited about reading and studying the Bible. I go through periods of what I would call spiritual boredom, when the “old, old story” just isn’t very...
GOSPEL RIPPLES By Jeremy Walker
In our efforts to make Christ known where God has put us, we have regular meetings to preach the gospel in a village outside our town. It is a hard place, not surprisingly given that it is full of hard hearts, many of which are cushioned by a false assurance derived...
BLESSED ARE THE MEEK by Pastor Kevin DeYoung
Meekness is hard to define. It is not a subservient groveling. It is not a spineless acquiescence. The Greeks had no respect for meekness because they equated it with servility–people taking advantage of you, people walking all over you, people punching you in the gut...
HOW LOVE BEHAVES By Pastor Scott Henry
“Love thinks no evil…” 1 Corinthians 13:5 Too often what we think comes out in our words and actions. We often think our thoughts are harmless, but in actuality our thoughts have power over what we do. This is especially true in our relationship to others. One...
DEATH … IT’S COMING FOR EACH OF US … ARE YOU PREPARED? By Pastor Scott Henry
“FOR TO ME TO LIVE IS CHRIST, AND TO DIE IS GAIN” (PHILIPPIANS 1:21) How could the Apostle Paul write the words in our text, “and to die is gain”? Paul could say that death was gain because he could also say, "For to me to live is Christ.” What about you? Is your...
KNOWING GOD By Pastor Scott Henry
“Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness” (Psalm 37:3). The measure of our trust in the Lord is determined by how well we know the Lord. The Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 1:12: “…for I know whom I have believed and am...
GOD’S LAMP AND LIGHT By Pastor Scott Henry
“YOUR WORD IS A LAMP TO MY FEET AND A LIGHT TO MY PATH” (PSALM 119:105). The only thing that can satisfy the longing in our soul is the Word of God. Too often we are discontent with the things we have and when we obtain more in order to satisfy the longing in our...
