The Mark of the Believer
on November 22nd, 2021
“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship” (Romans 12:1). Several weeks ago, we began walking through the book of Romans with this verse from Romans chapter 12 about presenting our bodies as living sacrifices because this is our spiritual worship. So now, we are backtracki... Read More

Overcoming Evil
on November 21st, 2021
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:21). The last verse in Romans chapter 12 tells us to overcome evil by doing good. There’s a lot you can dig out of that little statement. We must overcome the evil of the world, but what is the evil of the world? By definition, evil is anything that goes against God and His Word. We must overcome this evil, not by shaking our f... Read More

For Kings and Paupers
on November 18th, 2021
“But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors” (James 2:9). Have you ever had someone look down on you? Has anyone ever looked you over, sized you up, and stuck their nose in the air as if you didn’t measure up to their level? If it hasn’t ever happened to you, it probably will at some point, but now think about this: have you ever done this t... Read More

The Purpose of Humility
on November 17th, 2021
“Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all” (Romans 12:16-8). What is haughty? It means having an air of superiority— being someone who is pretentious or prideful. Jesus... Read More
