  3. God and Jeremiah may have been looking at the same person, but they were seeing very different things.
  4. God has in fact executed his plans for his people, plans of peace (probably a better translation than welfare), a future, and a hope in Jesus Christ.

  6. When sin comes out of the shadows and makes itself known, Christians can rest in and declare Christ's resurrection.

  8. Today, we begin a short series profiling women in the Bible (Who are not named Ruth or Esther). Both the stories of Ruth and Esther are beautiful, gracious, and profound.

Our first woman, is, the first woman herself: Eve.
  9. In writing City of God, Augustine sought to demonstrate that the events of 410 were but a glimpse of all history.

  11. What God created, God will grow. We don’t add a few stitches onto his creation.
  12. God will give you more than you can handle. But he doesn’t leave you alone. Not at all.
