In Genesis chapter 12 the Bible takes a dramatic turn and begins to focus on one family which has been promised to produce one person who will bless all the other families to ever exist. The first eleven chapters of Genesis teach fundamental lessons about the nature of God and man and the origin and consequences of sin. But beginning in Genesis 12, the focus turns to tracing the promises and fulfillment of the line of a single family in history. The lessons of Genesis 12 is that God always ha...

Those who offered to pray after a recent national tragedy have been criticized by some who have commented that we should "do something instead of just praying about it". Obviously, this intentionally overlooks the point that the two are not mutually exclusive and many who pray are also active in numerous other ways in society. So, then, why the criticism of prayer and which is more important - efforts to improve public safety or prayers for those impacted by its failure? #guncontrol #prayer&n...

A number of parents have expressed confusion and concern over Proverbs 22:6. They feel as though they trained up their child to be a Christian yet as an adult, that child has departed from the faith.

Though there are a number of descriptors of God in scripture, what most of us mean when we ask "what is God like?" is can I know Him personally, can I have a relationship with God?

In this podcast we break down the Bible verses that help us understand what God is like and discover we can have a meaningful relationship with Him.

In answering any question about our faith, we want to first turn to the Bible and see what the scriptures say. This helps to provide us with a more comprehensive answer than we might pull from our memory or common anecdotes. Answering the question of why did Jesus come to earth from the scriptures also helps us to keep our answer from becoming overly focused on the human point of view.

The Good News of the Gospel is required because the bad news related to our judgment before God is that He requires consistent perfection from us. One rebellious sin, any breaches by us of God's moral code brings the sentence of spiritual death and eternal separation from our Creator.
