Being Different

Ben Foust

1 Peter 1:13-23

Peter gives us instructions for living well as resident aliens in this world. We are to live as obedient children of God. This means living with hope, in security, in reverential fear, and being holy. This means we will be different. We will be freed from futility and slavery to live a new way of others-centered love.

The Role of the Law

Conrad Hilario

Exodus 20:12-17

Because God demands absolute moral perfection, no one can ever be made right with God by following the Law. Even in the Old Testament, people were saved by faith and not by following the Law. Christians are not under the Law because Jesus fulfilled the Law for us, but the Law is useful for giving us a moral orientation.

The Ten Commandments Part 1

Conrad Hilario

Exodus 20:1-11

Concepts of right and wrong and humans responsibility are real. They ae not social constructs. They are objective. This is because God exists, and He has spoken and revealed His will to us. The Ten Commandments are given in the context of a loving relationship. He gave them to us for our good.

The Birth of Jesus

Gary DeLashmutt

Luke 2:1-20

Luke's account of the birth of Jesus answers the question of "Who is this child?" He is Savior, Christ and the Lord. It also answered the question of "How is this child born?" Although He is Savior, Christ and Lord, He was born under unsanitary conditions, amid scandal and visited by commoners. This humiliation of Jesus teaches us that our situation is desperate, but God loves us with an amazing love.

Is there Hope for Successful Marriages?

Conrad Hilario

Ephesians 5:22-32

Historically, many people have believed the Bible teaches patriarchy and that women must submit to men because they are inferior to men. This could not be further from the truth! The Bible actually extols women. Submission means showing a willingness to be responsive to servant leadership. Men are to love their wives as Jesus loves the Church by laying down their lives for their wives.
