The Cutting of the Covenant

Gary DeLashmutt
Romans 4:1-5

A fascinating narrative describing how God ratified a covenant with Abram and providing three key insights into living by faith. God declares us to be in right standing with Him when we simply trust in His promise. Doubt is not the opposite of faith; it is faith under strain. Faith submits to God's plan and to His timing for its fulfillment.

War of the Kings and Melchizedek

Gary DeLashmutt
Hebrews 7:18

This passage narrates a war between nine ancient kings and an encounter between Abraham and two kings. Insight into Abraham's developing faith is provided as he actively trusts God's promises of protection and provision. God works through Melchizedek, the king of Salem, to encourage Abraham's faith which has a ripple effect far beyond his own life. Melchizedek was the original ?man without the Bible? and reveals the incredible depth and unity of the Bible.\r\n

Living Hope

Ben Foust
1 Peter 1:1-12

Peter writes to Christians scattered throughout the Roman empire and facing persecution. He urges them to put their hope in their future eternal inheritance.

The Woman at the Well

Ben Foust
John 4:1-42

Despite many personal, cultural, and religious barriers, Jesus approaches a woman at a well to demonstrate that he is the only one who can quench her spiritual thirst. The Gospel has the same effect today when we turn to God to restore the relationship we were created for and allow Him to meet our deepest needs.

Everything is Going According to Plan Part One

Chris Hearty
Romans 9:1-24

Paul is addressing his Jewish audience, who was questioning if God's plan had failed.

The Good News About Salvation

Conrad Hilario
Romans 1:1-17

The Book of Romans is considered by many to be the clearest and most thorough explanation of the gospel in scripture. It has influenced many game-changers of the faith, including Martin Luther and John Wesley. This letter makes clear that salvation is by faith alone and, as Paul writes in chapter one, demonstrates that the gospel "is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes."

A New and Better Covenant

Ryan Lowery
Hebrews 9:1-15

The author of Hebrews explains how Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment of the Old Testament temple and sacrificial system, the final sacrifice that actually took away sin. This new covenant means that Jews no longer needed to follow the old system, which was only a picture of what was to come. People today are also made right with God through Christ's blood alone and do not need to follow laws, perform rituals, or do good works to be made right with God.
