How are unbelievers witnesses of Jesus’s resurrection? This is not about secular writings such as Josephus who reported Jesus’s resurrection. This is about you, if you are an unbeliever, or those you know. Unwittingly, you admit to Jesus’s resurrection. 1. Not counting the name of Jesus, can you name one other person crucified in […]

5 Dangers Preaching on Homosexuality 1. One danger is to ignore this sin. If we preach on Christ’s birth in December and Christ’s resurrection in the Spring “because it is on people’s minds”, then we should be willing to preach against homosexuality during “Pride Month” since it is on people’s minds. 2. Another danger is […]

An interesting aspect of chiasms is sometimes you can take the corresponding parts, group them together, and the message still makes sense. For example, Titus 3:4-5: A – (4) But when the goodness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, B – (5) He saved us — C – not by works […]
