December 3, 2017 I’ve shared before that the summer before Bible college, I worked at a cemetery – Greenville Memorial Gardens in Greenville, SC. My job was primarily grounds maintenance; mow the grass, trim the bushes, weed eat grave markers; but I also prepared for burials. My first week, we had an interment at […]
MARK 15:33-39
November 26, 2017 Most of us can remember from our high school speech class or debate club selecting an issue and then being assigned to argue the for or against position. Perennial favorites, even since I was in school a very long time ago included, and still include, abortion, gun control, legalized marijuana and […]
MARK 15:16-41
November 19, 2017 We face many challenges dealing with the cross. The first is familiarity, which can breed contempt or even boredom. We read the book, saw the movie, bought the tee shirt. We hear the story many times a year – usually during communion, and at least once a year at Easter. And […]
MARK 15:1-15
November 12, 2017 It was a year ago this week we voted for the President of the United States. The Republican and Democratic candidates were of course Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. In the days before the election, both pundits and polls said it would be a Clinton victory. Forecasters clearly gave her the […]
FIVE SOLAS (Soli Deo Gloria)
October 29, 2017 Soli Deo Gloria – The Glory of God Alone We are in our fifth and sadly final week of remembering and celebrating the Protestant Reformation. But it’s not just a historical movement called a Reformation. If we’ve only seen this as a study of Middle Ages, European church history, then we’ve […]
FIVE SOLAS (Sola Fide)
October 22, 2017 What must a person do to be right before God? You see, most people in their heart of hearts know two things: first, there is a God, and second, we will one day give an account to Him. So, what must a person do to be right when they stand before […]
FIVE SOLAS (Sola Gratia)
October 15, 2017 The word purgatory comes from the Latin purgare, from which we get our word purge. Purgare simply means to purge or purify. In Roman Catholic doctrine, purgatory is the place where the souls of the dead are purified of remaining sins. Now, that begs the question, how is it the believer […]
FIVE SOLAS (Solus Christus)
October 8, 2017 I don’t have time for an attention-grabbing introduction this morning. You see, today we are talking about Christ Alone. And so, we could and perhaps should spend the rest of our lives on this topic. After all, Christ is the central figure of Scripture. And so, I struggled all week contemplating […]
FIVE SOLAS (Sola Scriptura)
October 1, 2017 You’ve been hearing a about it recently, and you’ll hear more in the weeks to come. On October 31, 1517, a thirty-three year old Augustinian monk named Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses on the Castle Church door in Wittenberg, Germany. Actually written in Latin, it was an invitation to his […]
PSALM 46 & LUTHER
September 24, 2017 If you have your Bible, turn to Psalm 46. When Scott returns next week, he is going to lead us in five-week series on the theology of the Protestant Reformation. I know we’re so close to finishing our study on the gospel of Mark, but the month of October is an […]
