When Truth Draws Enemies
After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, many are feeling grief, anger, and sadness. Paul asked the Galatians, “Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?” (Galatians 4:16). Unfortunately, when we live the truth and tell the truth, many will see us as their enemy. Jesus said that some will even hate […]
One in Christ
There are many differences among people—including ethnic, socio-economic, and biological differences. But that does not matter when it comes to our standing in Christ. Paul says that all Believers are ONE in Christ. But the culture views things differently. The culture either denies our differences altogether or exploits our differences to divide people through class […]
Reverse of the Curse
The Old Testament Law tells us that anyone who violates just one of God’s commandments is guilty of breaking them all, and that every “lawbreaker” is under a curse. But the good news is that Jesus Christ bore the curse intended for us when He was nailed to a tree! Jesus reversed the curse! Follow […]
Overcoming “Quiet Christianity”
Sometimes Christians are reluctant to be bold in their faith for fear of what others may think. Even the apostle Peter briefly fell into this trap, and Paul had to confront him about his hypocrisy. “Quiet Christianity” is when you act one way around some people, and a different way around other people who do […]
Jesus Plus Anything Ruins Everything
Many well-meaning people believe that being a good person is good enough to get to heaven. But the truth is, there is only one way—salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone! Jesus is the only way to heaven. In the book of Galatians, Paul addresses this important truth and says that […]

A Thorn in the Flesh
“A thorn in the flesh” can be anything or anyone that causes you pain or suffering. Paul did not define exactly what his was, but it may have been physical affliction or external opposition. Either way, his “thorn” was painful and difficult, and he learned much from his trial as he persevered through it. How […]
The Hope of Heaven
In 2 Corinthians 12, Paul spoke, in the third person, of a revelation of heaven that was too wonderful to describe so that he would not appear to be bragging. But there are more than 575 other passages in the Bible that describe heaven. Pastor Gary shares seven points about the “Hope of Heaven” and […]
The Ministry of Satan
In a recent Barna study, a mere one fifth of self-identified Christians believe that Satan is living and impactful. However, the Bible is clear that Satan is not only a real, living being, but he is also hard at work in our world seeking to wreak havoc and oppose God and those who follow God. […]
“Why, God?” Trusting God in Tragedy
In light of the Texas flash-flood that claimed the lives of more than 120 people, including 36 children, many people are left with unanswered questions. The most common question people ask when struck with tragedy is, “Why, God?” Have you ever asked God, “Why?” Have you ever been through suffering that has left you confused […]
