Blessings & Encouragement

How can we, as a church, bless and be an encouragement to each other? Paul, in his letter to the Thessalonians, commends them for their work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope. He also thanks God for them and prays for them. It is extremely important that a body of believers should... Read More

One for All, All for One

In the first few verses of 1 Corinthians 5 we see that the Corinthians had a poor response to sin in the church. A man, who “has his father’s wife,” is being allowed to continue to participate in the life of the church (v. 1). Rather than mourning the sin of this man, the Corinthian... Read More

With All Your Mind

We are to love God with every part of us, and that includes... Read More

In fact, the good news is that Jesus bore to... Read More

The Sign of the Covenant

The Abrahamic Covenant: God reaffirmed his covenant with Abraham at various times over a 25-year span. But what about Ishmael? Abraham loved Ishmael and wanted him to be blessed. God did bless Ishmael with many descendants, but often we may be on the wrong path and are asking God to bless us on the wrong... Read More

Anabaptist View of the Trinity

The Bible assumes the reality of God and is not occupied with speculation about the nature of God. The Bible is concerned primarily with God’s self-revelation and the appropriate human response. Many verses in Scripture speak of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit’s work in human affairs. There were many significant councils that discussed issues... Read More
