A study of Psalm 23

Grace Anatomy

A study of Galatians

Without an understanding of what grace is really about, it is difficult to be a Christian. It is at the core of our faith. Paul writes his letter trying to help them do a couple of things:

1) remember their commitment to Jesus, and

2) receive the grace of God and experience abundant life.

A Way in the World

A partial look at I Corinthians

Jesus knew that for good or ill, the world will gladly shape our lives. And those who abdicate their decisions to others will be carried along by the streams that others have set in motion. This study looks at some of the biblical teachings from Paul, a man who understood Jesus’ teachings, as he tried to help a rowdy, complicated, and tempted church at Corinth.
