Romans 10:1-13 – Faith in What We Cannot Do
PHall | June 17, 2013
When obedience is considered a work, it is contrary to grace because it seeks to establish its own righteousness. When obedience is considered submission, it is leads to grace, accepting the righteousness that comes from God. Faith is obedience because it is submitting to God to do what we cannot. We cannot live by doing […]
2 Corinthians 9:7 – God Loves a Cheerful Taker
PHall | June 16, 2013
Many churches have objections to partaking the Lord’s Supper every Sunday saying it would lose significance, yet have no problem taking up a collection and telling people “God loves a cheerful giver.” God also loves a thankful taker of His Son’s Supper.
John 13:12-19 – Who We Should Be
PHall | June 13, 2013
This is who we are or should be: Servants do not ask to be placated and pleased, they only ask to serve. Disciples do not pretend to judge and cajole, they are content to learn and imitate their Teacher. Christians are not trying to become good enough, better than others, or besting the arguments of […]
1 Corinthians 11:19 – Chiasm – Are these factions approved?
PHall | June 12, 2013
What does Paul mean in 1 Corinthians 11:19 – “There must, indeed, be factions among you, so that those who are approved may be recognized among you.” Is this approval right and good? Or, is Paul again using sarcasm? Using the chiastic structure to interpret consider the latter. A – (17) Now in giving the […]
Romans 1:16-17 – The Bible without Jesus
PHall | June 11, 2013
The Bible without the Jesus is God and Man; Holy and Unholy; Judge and Judged; Righteous and Condemned. The Bible with Jesus is God makes man like God; makes the unholy holy; saves the judged; and righteously pardons. Jesus does not get in between God’s wrath and man; Jesus is God’s love and is the […]
Acts 26:8 – Is Baptism Incredible?
PHall | June 6, 2013
God by grace used water to separate Noah from judgment. God by grace used water to separate Israel from slavery. God by grace used water as an entrance for Israel to the Promised Land. God by grace used water to purify priests. To paraphrase Paul, “Why is it considered incredible by any of you that […]
Romans 1:16 – The Gospel is History and Message
PHall | June 3, 2013
If the gospel is both the historical facts and the message preached, both a life lived and a life to be lived; and if the gospel in history is founded by absolute truth in how we are saved, then the gospel preached must also be founded in absolute truth in how we are saved. If […]
1 Thessalonians 5:17 – Pray Without Ceasing
PHall | June 3, 2013
You’ve never done enough if you haven’t prayed; you’ve never done enough until you’ve prayed; you’ve never done too much if you haven’t prayed; you can do too much without praying; you can never do too much praying.
1 Corinthians 2:1-5 – Forget the Preacher
PHall | June 3, 2013
What never ceases to amaze me about preaching the word of God after praying to God on what to preach, is how often unexpected people tell me how personally needed and meaningful the sermon was to them. The longer I preach the more I realize that the preacher is the least important part of the […]
