Most of us who have grown up in church have been taught that God is in heaven up in the sky somewhere. He sits on a throne and Jesus sits next to Him at His right hand. This is a common teaching that starts in Sunday school. However, as we grow up in the faith,... Continue Reading →
If anyone does not hate his father and mother…
If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brother and sister, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. (Luke 14:26) What did Jesus mean by this strong statement? Are we not instructed to love our enemies let alone our families? Are we not... Continue Reading →
The Lord’s Supper & Spiritual Fellowship
When we think of fellowship, we don't often think of the Lord's Supper. But the two are inextricably linked. So what is the spiritual significance of the Lord's Supper as it pertains to our fellowship and communion?

Saved by His life
Salvation relayed through the gospel is a glorious truth that is richer and mysterious than what we often associate with the word. Salvation is not about being destined for heaven, it’s not about giving our hearts to Jesus, and it’s definitely more than being forgiven of sins. Salvation is of course synonymous with being saved.... Continue Reading →
