Redemption is God's gracious act of purchasing sinners out of slavery to sin through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, so that they belong to Him and live in the freedom of His kingdom.

I have a new friend—yes, more than a friend. He is a spiritual brother named Rev. Joel Kavala who, by God’s grace, began a confessional seminary (adhering to both the Westminster Standards and the Three Forms of Unity) last year in Nairobi, Kenya, called Emmanuel Theological Seminary. He is already partnering with our Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary for their Master of Arts courses, and has fifteen theological students with another half dozen on the way. The Lord has miraculously provided for all their needs in wonderful ways. In fact, when we shared stories about how our respective seminaries began and how the Lord was with us every step of the way so that we lacked nothing, we both marveled at the remarkable similarity of God’s leading in our lives. We even received great comfort from the same biblical text: Ephesians 3:20, “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think . . . unto him be glory”! Please pray for this brother and for God’s work to prevail in Kenya.
@DerwinLGray Anytime you find a new revelation that 99.9% of believers did not discover for over 1900 years you 're either the brightest generation or heretics.
Phrases like “in Christ” occur ~160 times in the NT. Why? Because our true identity lies outside of ourselves—in Jesus.
Tomorrow, we start a new 4-week series on the rich, life-changing doctrine of Union With Christ. Join us for service
#unionwithChrist
God's presence is more exciting, more precious than anything else and we should therefore treasure it and long for it. As we wrap up our short series through the Psalms, this Sunday, we will be reminded about this truth from Psalm 84.
Welcome!
