THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION by Pastor Scott Henry

THE LORD’S LAMP & LIGHT by Pastor Scott Henry

“THY WORD IS A LAMP UNTO MY FEET, AND A LIGHT UNTO MY PATH” (PSALM 119:105).   Scripture functions as a guide by giving us principles to govern our life.  You see, the Word of God doesn’t tell us specifically what kind of job to pursue, who to marry, what kind of...

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
