New Wine, New Wineskin

August 4, 2024 • Brandon Ball

While the Old Covenant was one of great burden and fear, the New Covenant is light and easy. Righteousness by the flesh was appropriate before the cross, showing the world the impossibility of behavioral and heart perfection. This is why we celebrate the cross and worship the Christ, realizing He gifted us with that required perfection, forever uniting us with the Father!

Purified

September 8, 2024 • Brandon Ball

God established a new covenant that promises eternal life to all who believe in what Jesus finished at the cross. The dress rehearsals of the Tabernacle serve to foreshadow the stringent requirements for forgiveness, all met by Jesus himself. That’s all the joy you need!

Good Tree, Good Fruit

In Matthew 12, Jesus teaches that our words reflect our hearts, revealing the true nature of our faith. A heart transformed by the Gospel will produce words that testify to our righteousness in Christ, while a heart that rejects the Gospel remains condemned. As believers, we stand justified not by our own merit, but by the finished work of Jesus, allowing us to speak with confidence and boldness, knowing we are as He is—holy, blameless, and faultless before God.

The Unpardonable Sin

August 25, 2024 • Brandon Ball

Has anyone made you fear that you committed a sin that cannot be forgiven? Good news - The unpardonable sin is not a mysterious transgression that believers should fear! Rather it is the willful rejection of the Gospel after fully understanding its truth. Jesus’ teachings and the scriptures remind us that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable because it represents a deliberate refusal to accept the grace and forgiveness offered through Christ. As believers, we can rest in the assurance that we are no longer “in sin” but are made alive and righteous in Christ, free from fear of judgment.
