The redemption of God’s people is inseparably linked to the rule of the Messiah (For example see Psalm 2 and Psalm 110). Over time, God consistently delivered His people in ways they did not expect. ...

If Jesus went through trials and suffering in this life, we can expect the same (1 Peter 4:12-13). The pattern of life Jesus lived is known as the life of the Suffering Servant. This term is commonly ...

God's love is not like the love expressed by many in our culture today: a love of convenience and ego. God's unconditional love never fails, endures forever, is uncalculating, and not motivated by pe...

There is great power in a name. Names have a way of creating an identity and it’s how we are known by those around us. So what’s in a name? A lot, especially when it comes to God and his character. Le...

From the very beginning, we were created in God’s image. What an immense honor it is to have the features of God, to be like Him. If we have a sense of humor, then the One who created us has a sense o...

The story of the Canaanites is a difficult one to reckon with. We do well to let the Bible speak for itself and even allow our questions at times to remain unanswered. God is rescuing people from ever...

The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed, and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed. You can’t have one without the other to come to as full an understanding of Scripture (and Him) a...

It would be easy to read this and see a God who was caught off guard by how sinful humanity had become. A God who became so angry that he decided to wipe out the whole mess and start over again. But i...

Is it true? Did He pay the full price for my sin, and yet I still “owe” Him my life? If it is truly finished, if God is satisfied, if I am justified, why must I live a life as a “living sacrifice?”...
