The Lord's Day Part 2: Sabbath and Sunday in History

The Lord's Day Part 2: Sabbath and Sunday in History

As we learned in the first part of this teaching, the Bible does not support replacing Sabbath observance with Sunday observance. So, how did this change occur? How did we get to where we are now, with most Christians not keeping the Sabbath on the seventh day? This teaching will attempt to answer that question.

The Lord's Day Part 1: Sabbath and Sunday in Scripture

The Lord's Day Part 1: Sabbath and Sunday in Scripture

It’s widely believed that the Lord’s Day (Sunday) has replaced the Sabbath for Christians. Pastor John MacArthur says the Sabbath “is gone” and “the new covenant has a completely different day.” But does Scripture support this idea?

The Powerful Role of Women in the Great Commission

The Powerful Role of Women in the Great Commission

Women have been oppressed, taken advantage of, and even limited in Kingdom work throughout history and even into today. But setting aside worldly culture and religious tradition, what does the Bible actually teach regarding the value and role of women in ministry and gospel work?

Doing Justice: The Gospel vs. Critical Theory

I’ve been researching Critical Theory, which fuels the ideology of many modern "social justice" movements (e.g., BLM), and I've found that it is anti-Gospel mind poison. The Gospel is all about reconciliation, healing, and justice; Critical Theory is divisive by design and results in only hate, violence, and injustice.

Excluded From the Assembly? (Deuteronomy 23:1-8)

Deuteronomy 23:1-8 states that some people are to be excluded from “the assembly of YHWH” for reasons beyond their control. How do we understand this difficult passage and reconcile it with other passages that clearly welcome these very people into the believing community of Israel?

Does God Exist? - The Design of the Universe

Does God Exist? - The Design of the Universe

The question, “Does God Exist?” has long been pondered from the layman to the greatest scientists and scholars throughout history. When all things are considered, the odds of the universe and the fine-tuning necessary in order for it to have happened by chance is simply unbelievable…even to scientists.

Does God Hate Women? - Interview with Douglas Hamp

Many people claim the God of the Bible hates women, that he is misogynistic, that he has created a male-first society. They claim the laws of the Bible make women little more than property. Are these claims true? What does the Bible really say? I sit down with Dr. Douglas Hamp to address these questions.
