No one has a greater hope than the Lord’s people.  It truly sustains us in this walk of life that is filled with trials and tribulations.  We know that no matter how much we have to endure in this life, we have something far greater waiting for us in the life to come (Romans 8:18). […]

So far this week, we have seen the “who” and the “what” of our hope.  Tonight, let us consider the “where” of our hope.  The “where” of our hope is heaven.  This should be agreed upon by all who claim to believe in the Bible, but sadly, it is not.  Some think that our ultimate […]

In last night’s blog, we considered the “who” of our hope, which, of course, is Jesus Christ.  Tonight, let’s think a little about the “what” of our hope.  The “what” of our hope is our glorified bodies.  Eternal life is one of the great promises of God. John 3:16 (ESV) 16 “For God so loved […]

Who is the assurance of our hope?  Who is the one who made our hope possible in the first place?  Who allows us to have a confident expectation that our hope will come to fruition?  The answer to all three questions is the same—Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 1:1 (ESV) 1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus […]

Many have denied the deity of Christ, but the truth is, Jesus was God before His incarnation, during His incarnation, and after His incarnation. He has always been and will always be God. This does not mean that the Father and the Son are the same person. The scriptures teach that the God of the […]

Giving to the cause of Christ is a very important task that Christians carry out every first day of the week in their local churches.  It is a commandment that we keep because we love the Lord and His cause, as well as the local church that we attend.  Sadly, error is taught by most […]

The Bible is clear about the place of baptism in God’s plan of salvation.  When you ignore the various teachings of men and just look to the Bible for the place of baptism and the significance of it, you will have no trouble whatsoever discovering that it is essential to the salvation of the soul.  […]
