The Death of Death

March 31, 2024

The good news of the Gospel declares that you can experience a fearlessness when thinking about your death. The Son of God has lived, died and was resurrected for you to live fearlessness in death. Fight the fear of death by knowing that Christ has destroyed Satan's power through his "propitiation." The Gospel is filled with big words that have big meanings that reveal the bigness of our God and the greatness of our salvation. Propitiation is a glorious word for you to ponder so that the fear of death remains vanquished. Declare to yourself that Christ's propitiatory death on the cross is your wrath-removing sacrifice. When Jesus gave His life as a sacrifice for your sins, He also satisfied the righteous wrath of God against your sin, providing for you reconciliation and peace with God. The sting within your death has been defeated by the death of Christ. Death has been swallowed up in the victory of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 15:54-57). The propitiatory death of Jesus means your victory over death. That truth is to be enjoyed every day.

Everything Depends Upon the Blessing of God

October 13, 2024 • Kyle Mills • Psalm 127

Psalm 127 answers four questions for the believer: It answers the question, why does my building seem to be in vain? It answers the question, why doesn't it seem like God watches over our nation? It answers the question, how can I have freedom from my anxiety? It answers the question, why does it seem God hasn't established my family? And the answer comes at the pinnacle of the Psalm, in the very center of this poetic song in verse 2: "for he gives to his beloved sleep". God gives. He gives sleep. He gives rest. He gives peace. He gives fulfillment. He gives freedom from anxiety. He gives freedom from worry. When it doesn't seem like things are going my way, and I get caught up in the hamster-wheel-of-worry, the solution is the very presence of God in my life. This is the simple but profound truth that we often forget. God's presence is the spiritual balm to my tired and weary soul. And complete dependence upon Him in all of life leads to true rest.

Jesus is Not Ashamed to Call us Brothers and Sisters

August 4, 2024 • Brett Rayl • Hebrews 2:11

The gospel completely saves us from shame which flows from the Fall and presence of sin in the world. One of the most beautiful announcements of this is found in Hebrews 2:11, “For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brothers..."
