The Apostle Paul considered his mission a matter of eternal life or eternal death. He was fearless in his proclamation of the gospel. Even the demons knew who Paul was. No wonder Paul was absolutely livid when it came to some false teachers who did their level best to lead the Corinthian Christians astray. How did Paul deal with them? And what about today? Where are the bold servants of God who will protect His people from false teachers? Come with the Grace United crew as we experience Paul attack the false teachers with devastaing force --to the glory of God.

God's grace in Christ produces the fruit of obedience in the life of the believer.

If salvation is by grace, as followers of Christ is there any reason to study the Law? Specifically, the book of Deuteronomy? When was the last time you even read it, let alone studied it? How many Christians have adopted the notion, "law bad, grace good?" Could it be that we the members of the church of Jesus Christ need a little reorientation of our spiritual map? For after all, Paul's words declaring all Scripture is given by inspiration of God is applicable to Deuteronomy as well--just as inspired and authoritative as is Romans or John. Come with the Grace United crew as we discover how to re-orient our spiritual map, preparing to travel down the "Deuteronomy Road."

The Big "C" is a dreaded word in our world. "C" is painful. Surgery is almost always needed to cut the cancer out. But there is a big "C" in the Scripture as well. Circumcision. Circumcision is commanded for . . . all God's people. "But" we might say, "how can circumcision be commanded for all of God's people? Isn't it supposed to be for males only? Well, not exactly, although males in Israel are commanded to get the Big "C". What is God after? What exactly is circumcision for anyway? Come with the Grace United crew as we explore this all important issue of circumcision and what it means for ALL of God's people, Old Covenant or New Covenant saints.

Christ does not set us free so that we can do whatever we want to do; Christ sets us free so that we can do whatever God wants us to do.

To be a Christian is to be united to Christ, and to be united to Christ is to be victorious over the devastating power of sin. Consequently, the Christian is encouraged to fight sin with the superior power of God's grace. As we see the benefits we have from the freedom Christ has given us, the allure of sin will diminish, and we will grow in the holiness that ends in eternal life.

3 Principles of Chrisrtian Freedom

Introduction Galatians 3:1 ? Consider the following: There was blood loss while praying in the garden. See Luke 22:44 . There was blood loss due to crowning and scourging. Geisler notes: “He had been beaten and whipped repeatedly the night before His crucifixion with a Roman scourge (a three-lash whip…

Introduction Sanctification Defined “We believe that Sanctification is the process by which, according to the will of God, we are made partakers of his holiness; that it is a progressive work; that it is begun in regeneration; and that it is carried on in the hearts of believers by the presence and power…

Making rules around rules both condemns others for something that is innocent and distracts one from real transgression, especially that which is inward. This is pointed to by Moses and clarified by James before being made concrete by Jesus.

Watch Your Dreams

It is easy to forget that the great promise of God in the Bible is to bring redemption not just to human beings but to the entire creation. The world that God made is where he intends for us to dwell with him forever. And since Jesus has kicked off the new creation program, it is the task of every follower of Jesus to be about this kingdom agenda by growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior.

To slander is to judge; to judge is to usurp God's authority.

Right living demands both an objective standard and a righteous enforcer. Bother are in short supply in our relativistic days. In Romans either the Torah or natural law is the standard and God is the enforcer, although we learn in other passages that God offers grace. In Matthew we see Jesus as the standard in person and the king in person, calling people follow him, even if it meant turning their lives upside down. They end up empowered to live the standard and enabled to call others into the community of followers where they receive the grace of the king.
