The last chapter in the book of Joshua is called one of the theologically richest in the entire Old Testament. The setting at Shechem is deeply symbolic—it’s where Abraham first received God’s covenant promise and where Jacob buried the foreign idols of his own people. Some scholars have spent years investigating this single chapter for…

Should we really accept the idea that each of us is free to interpret Scripture however we wish and then legitimize our interpretation by claiming the Holy Spirit told us so? When we do that, we reverse the order of authority — we take the Word of God and place it beneath our own preferences.…

Christ came to fulfill the requirements of the law for us so that we are no longer under the law for our righteousness but Grace. The Law, then being Good, is to be faithfully followed by loving God with all our hearts, minds and souls and loving our neighbors as ourselves. We show that we…

The name Daniel means (El) God has judged. The Book of Daniel is in many ways in a class by itself; and I think by the end of today’s lesson you will come to understand that. This relatively short book of only 12 chapters lies at the crossroads of our faith. It is the bridge…

The Book of Revelation is divine truth. It is Christ’s, or God’s Apocalypse. Second, it is real; the events depicted are actual; they have happened or will happen or both. Third, the Book of Revelation does not and cannot stand alone. It is fully dependent on the Old Testament, especially on the Prophets Ezekiel, Daniel,…

The wisdom of God revealed in Scripture is His gracious invitation to know Him, trust Him, and walk in His ways, culminating in the revelation of Jesus Christ and empowered by the Spirit for a life that reflects His glory. In the beginning, before there was light or land or life, there was God—and with…

Mercy is God’s love in action, reaching into our sin, suffering, and weakness to bring forgiveness, healing, and hope.  The cross is the ultimate display of that mercy as a reminder to us all. God is righteous and mercy is the form that righteousness takes toward sinners. In His Mercy, God has moved toward us…

Let’s think again briefly about the power of remembering and telling others of the Salvation of God that we talked about last week in our Sunday School class. What could we tell those who don’t know about Jesus and the salvation he brought to us? That Salvation is truth that is revealed in its fullest…

We’re going rogue and we’re letting the Holy Spirit take over!!! We love that word “Tell.” God’s salvation was never meant to be something we only hear and keep to ourselves as it’s meant to be shared. Jesus reminded us that no one lights a candle and hides it away but sets it high so…

Paul begins his letter with a solemn and joyful announcement: the gospel is God’s own power to save, revealed in the person of His Son. Cranfield emphasizes that Paul is not introducing a new idea but declaring the fulfillment of God’s ancient promises. The gospel is the unveiling of God’s righteousness—His faithfulness, His saving action,…

C.E.B. Cranfield approaches Romans as the central proclamation of the Christian gospel, not a detached theological treatise. For him, Romans is Paul’s Spirit-inspired attempt to unfold the meaning of God’s saving action in Jesus Christ for the whole world. Cranfield reads the letter with deep reverence, convinced that it reveals the very heart of God.…
