Your Seeing and Rewarding Father

"Your Father who sees in secret will reward you." That's how Jesus ends each section in Matthew 6:1-18. We have a Father in heaven. We are his children by adoption through Jesus Christ.

Love Your Enemies!

In verse 44 of Matthew 5, Jesus turns all common sense on its head and declares the heart of the one who has been transformed by the power of the Gospel. Our tendency is to hate our enemies.

Baptism Testimony: Daniella Coronel

It wasn't until someone preached the gospel to me that I started feeling convicted about my sins. I knew I wasn't living my life right. I felt like I needed a change, I needed something... what I needed was a Savior....

Oh, How I Love Your Law! Really?

Throughout church history the relationship between law and grace has been a lively discussion. Legalism and license have been tripping up the saints for centuries. Does it have to be that way? No! The Gospel is our anchor, keeping us from either error! Lets pray together for a deeper understanding of what Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount, and out of that understandi...
