Paul’s epistle to the Galatians sought to address a major problem facing the early church. Because of false teachers, the church was quickly abandoning the gospel of grace, of justification by faith alone, in favor of a gospel of works and law. However, even in the introduction to his letter, Paul is quick to remind the Galatian churches of the gospel […]

While it is true that the name of God is absent from the book of Esther, his fingerprints are unmistakably and beautifully apparent throughout the entirety of this story. Here we find one of the most remarkable displays in all of Scripture of Providence: God’s wise, loving, and righteous care and governance of all things for the accomplishment […]

It’s easy to forget that many of the Psalms in Scripture actually pertain to particular accounts recorded in David’s life. By reading them in context, understanding what David was going through, we are able to more fully, and truly, understand their meaning and resulting applications, such as in the case of Psalm 56:9 – “Then my […]

As we look into Exodus 19:1-8, Israel is about to receive the Law, beginning with the Ten Commandments.  Throughout the ages, these famous rules have come to shape how both believers and non-believers alike view the Christian religion (even, more importantly, God Himself) and often present a picture that is terribly skewed:  we see the Law as a […]

The story of David facing Goliath, slaying his “tens of thousands”, is arguably one of the most well-known in the entire Bible, both inside and outside of the church, especially when applied to our lives and facing our own giants.  However, we are not the primary focus of this story; Jesus is the true and better […]

Throughout the book of Judges, we see a repeated cycle:  Israel serves the Lord, falls into idolatry and forgets Him, becomes enslaved, and is ultimately delivered by a judge.  This book just goes to show that mankind, as sinful and depraved as we are, can not fulfill the law of God.  We need a true […]

Everywhere you turn in the book of Exodus there is a new picture of the Lord Jesus and His work on our behalf. Looking at the rock at Horeb and Israel’s battle with Amalek is definitely no exception.  Listen as Pastor Dave Leandre works through the 17th chapter of Exodus, teaching on the sufficient work of […]
