We Face the Day of the Lord: A Call to Wake Up (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I assert that God's judgment is real and imminent, and that the locust plague described in the Book of Joel functions both as a literal calamity for Judah and as a prophetic foreshadowing of the greater day of the Lord. I emphasize that the devastation summoned urgent repentance and communal lament, for the loss extended from fields to the altar and revealed how sin undermines both material blessing and spiritual vitality. We have committed to a series on Joel, Amos, and Obadiah to examine these
We Talk Romans 13: Pay Taxes, Honor Leaders, Serve Christ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I taught that Christians should submit to legitimate government because God has ordained civil authority, but our ultimate allegiance is to Christ. I spoke from Romans 13 and linked it to Romans 12, 1 Peter 2, Acts 5, and Matthew 22 to show the full biblical view. I explained that government should punish evil and praise good, and that we should pay taxes and obey laws that do not conflict with God’s commands. I warned that submission is not blind obedience and that when a law contradicts Script
I Unpack David's Lie in 1 Samuel 21 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I assert at the outset that the principal theme we examine is how David’s fear precipitates a departure from faith, manifested in his deceit toward Ahimelech and subsequent impulsive flight, thereby exemplifying the peril attendant upon allowing human terror to supplant trust in God. I elucidate the episode in First Samuel 21 by tracing the immediate circumstances of David’s flight from Saul, the transgression of truth in his interaction with the priest, and the extraordinary concession of the c
I Choose God, Not Gifts — Lessons from Saul and David (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I assert that the principal contention of this discourse is that we must desire God Himself rather than His gifts, and that the catastrophic error exemplified by Saul in 1 Samuel 13—who treats divine provision as a totem to procure victory—stems from seeking the benefits of God more than God Himself. I expound the contrast between Saul’s premature and disobedient offering at Gilgal, performed to secure success, and David’s psalmic orientation in which devotion to the person of God supersedes a t
We Were Raised and Seated: Experiencing the Resurrection Power That Transforms Life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I declare that the central point is Paul’s petition that God grant the Spirit of wisdom and revelation so that our hearts are enlightened to know our riches and identity in Christ. We set forth that Ephesians catalogs the blessings given to believers: redemption, adoption, the sealing of the Holy Spirit, and abundant grace. I insist that true understanding must transform the heart and change how we live, not remain mere head knowledge. We explain that the surpassing power that raised Christ from
