“The Father was glorified by the Son”
Article for May 17, 2026 John 17:1–3 1When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. That this, “The High Priestly Prayer,” was given by Jesus before His crucifixion

Jesus took the Punishment for our Sins
Article for April 26, 2026 John 10:7b–10 7b “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” No one goes to heaven without going through Jesus Christ who is the way, the t

Jesus died for all sin, past, present, and future
Article for April 19, 2026 1 Peter 1:17–19 17 If you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one’s deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, 18 knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. We call upon our Father in heaven each time we pray. Our pr

“Obey God rather than men”
Article for Sunday April 12, 2026 Acts 5:29-32 29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men. 30 The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree. 31 God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. 32 And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.” The High Priest had just accused the Apostles of pr

The Transfiguration of Our Lord
Article for February 15, 2026 2 Peter 1:16 16 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. Oh, to be an eyewitness to the coming and life of Jesus Christ. So many years has passed since one saw Jesus Christ with their own eyes. But there where eyewitnesses who not only saw Jesus, but they also walked with Jesus and saw the miracles and signs of the one true God

Jesus came to fulfill the Law
Article for Sunday February 8, 2026 Matthew 5:17 17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. Jesus Christ has made Himself known to the world around Him. Not the whole world but in part that which is the people of God, the Israelites. We know Israel was brought up on the laws God gave to Moses for His people Israel. God’s laws are what we know as the Ten Commandments. The law has certain deman

“Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
Article for February 1, 2026 Micah 6:8 8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? God has told us through His word what is good and right and bad and wrong. Yet the world wants and thinks it has the right to choose for themselves what is right and what is wrong. And the people who believe, or say they believe, step aside many times and let the world rule. Our world

“Why were you looking for me?”
Article for January 4, 2026 Luke 2:40–42 40 The child [Jesus] grew and became strong, filled with wisdom. And the favor of God was upon him. 41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom. One Hundred percent boy and one hundred percent God. I would almost bet that Jesus matured faster than any other boy at that time and even in our time. This is one hundred percent boy, b

“Baptized into Righteousness”
Article for January 11, 2026 Matthew 3:15b–17 15b “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” 16 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; 17 and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” We are celebrating the baptism of Jesus Christ who did n

There is a Time
Article for December 28, 2025 Galatians 4:4–5 4 When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. We have been reading the Old Testament and have followed mankind from its beginning up to Saul and his successor David from the House of Jesse. We have witnessed the many sins of mankind from Adam and Eve to Saul, and we know the sins of David will a

Article for November 26, 2025, Thanksgiving Deuteronomy 8:1 1 “The whole commandment that I command you today you shall be careful to do, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land that the Lord swore to give to your fathers.

True Forgiveness
Article for November 23, 2025, last Sunday in the church year. Colossians 1:13–14 13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Do we understand true repentance, true forgiveness, true redemption, and true salvation? To some they take these words seriously, to others they are not sure, and to others they are not ready to listen. These are the true times that w

The day that is coming shall set them ablaze, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. The day is coming, it may be close, it may be in our lifetime, and it might not. Some say the signs are here. Others say the signs have been here since the time Jesus walke

Article for November 9, 2025 2 Thessalonians 2:1–2 1 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. We do not know when Jesus will appear again. We should know that we must prepare ourselves for when Jesus does appear again. There are many thin

Why are Coming to Church?
Article for November Isaiah 1:12–14 12 “When you come to appear before me, who has required of you this trampling of my courts? 13 Bring no more vain offerings; incense is an abomination to me. New moon and Sabbath and the calling of convocations— I cannot endure iniquity and solemn assembly. 14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates; they have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them.
