Exposition of 1 Corinthians 7:17–31 Our status is in Christ
1 Corinthians 7:17–31 17 Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches. 18 Was … Continue reading
Exposition of Romans 4:13–14 An unqualified promise requires no works

Exposition of Romans 2:14–16 Conscience-judged behavior sometimes pleases God

Sermon on the Mount: Matthew 7:28–29
Matthew 7:28–29 When Jesus finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed by his teaching, 29 because he taught them like one who had authority, not like their experts in the law. (NET Bible) Note: any Bible reference containing only … Continue reading
