The Goal of Our Instruction

Dennis McCallum

The Glorious Gospel

Chris Hearty

1 Timothy 1:1-11

Paul open his letter to Timothy by asserting his authority as an Apostle commissioned by Jesus Himself, perhaps to not only to encourage Timothy but to confer some of his authority to a young Timothy. It may also have been to affirm to the church in Ephesus that Timothy has Paul's full confidence. He urges Timothy to remain in Ephesus to teach the church to stop spreading false doctrine and wasting time occupying themselves with myths and endless genealogies. Instead, he is to focus on the goal of their instruction, that is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

Jesus and the Rich Young Ruler

Ben Foust

Mark 10:13-27

People unfamiliar with the Gospel often approach getting into heaven by attempting to live by Plan A, a plan to live in such a way as to earn their way into heaven by their own effort. Unfortunately, they rarely live up to even their own mediocre standards, but more importantly, they can never meet God's standard for Plan A, which is utter perfection. Fortunately, God has Plan B, which is approach Him like a child and receive eternal life as a gift.

What Is Faith?

Ben Foust

Mark 5:21-43

The narrative of the woman in the crowd and Jairus and his daughter teaches us what faith is. They both placed their trust in someone to the extent that they acted upon that trust. They each took a risk to reach out to the One who they believed could change hopeless situations. What mattered was not the amount or strength of their faith but the object of their faith, Jesus Christ. His power is absolutely adequate! He can and will set hopeless and broken things right.

Anxiety

Phil Franck

Philippians 4:6-8

The Bible has a lot to say about anxiety. God knows we are prone to worrying. Peter in 1 Peter 5 calls us to cast our anxieties onto God because He cares for us. Matthew 6 tells us to remember that God takes care of the lesser creatures so surely He will care for us as well! And Philippians 4 tells us to present all our concerns to Him with thanksgiving and the peace of God will surround our hearts. Every time God says, "Fear not..." He also says "For I..." We are never on our own. He is always there with us. The antidote to fear is faith.

Know Your Enemy

Chris Hearty

1 Peter 5:8-11

Satan's greatest deception is making people believe he does not exist. Peter calls believers to know our enemy, the devil. Being sober and alert, we resist through faith and endure through fellowship. Jesus defeated him and the fear of death at the cross. We know we, who are in Christ Jesus, already have victory over the evil one.

The Ten Lepers

Patrice McCormac

Luke 17:11-19

The story of the ten lepers healed by Jesus tells us that the greater the gift, the greater the sense of gratitude. What makes out relationship with God such a great gift? it is such a great gift because of our tremendous need, it is entirely free to us, and the magnitude of the gift. We have such a huge need for forgiveness, and we deserve nothing but judgment, yet God does not merely not give us the punishment we deserve, but he gives us so much more blessing than we deserve.

Suffering for Doing What Is Right

Conrad Hilario

1 Peter 3:17-4:5

Peter uses the story of Noah to illustrate that it is better to suffer for doing right than for doing wrong. Noah endured about a hundred years of mockery for building a boat in a land that never saw rain. But Noah faithfully continued to build the ark and preached righteousness. Peter explains the ark saving the righteous from the judgment of the flood symbolized how Jesus is our ark who saves us from God's judgment through His resurrection. Water baptism does not save anyone, but it is a symbol of your salvation if you have put your faith in Jesus.

The Power of the Word

Scott Risley

1 Peter 1:22-2:3

It is the Word of God that empowers us to do anything good. We can't truly love others on our own, but God's Word gives us a new nature capable of real love. Scripture gives us many word pictures for the Word; It is the seed, milk, solid food, bedrock foundation, an anchor for our souls, a mirror, a lamp, fire, a hammer, a sword, pure gold and silver, rain from heaven, and finally, the sweetest honey. The Word of God is the starting point for this new spiritual life God wants to give us. This Word is also the sustainer of this new life.
