By Sarah Wootten Since the fall of man, every person fits into one of two categories. The first category is for those who are dead in their sin. Everyone is born into this condition and can be described as a child of wrath (Ephesians 2:1-3). He is not a Christian. The second category is for … Continue reading The Man Confused by Deeds

The New Man
By Cody Anderson Last week, we talked about the born-again man. This week, I will try to describe how being born again affects the new man. 1 Peter 1:3 says, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to … Continue reading The New Man
The Born-Again Man
By Cody Anderson If you are following along with this series, you can see that we are looking at the study of man. We have looked at the creation of man and the fall of man. Comprehensively speaking, we have only made it through about six chapters of the Bible. Except we did discuss the … Continue reading The Born-Again Man
The Fall, Part 2
By Joey Carroll Last week, we began considering the fall of man, and the effect it had on humanity. When Adam and Eve chose to rebel against God, the punishment was severe. They were immediately removed from the perfect place in which God had created for them to live, the Garden of Eden. But the … Continue reading The Fall, Part 2
The Fall of Man
By Joey Carroll The most tragic and devastating moment in human history is recorded for us in Genesis 3 of the Bible. That one moment, known simply as “The Fall” marred humanity as well as every other created thing. The effects of The Fall continue to devastate our lives today. But that terrible moment was … Continue reading The Fall of Man
God’s Image Restored in Christ
By Sarah Wootten “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness,’” (Genesis 1:26, ESV). Last week, we looked at how God made mankind special and distinguished them from the rest of creation. God created mankind in His image. However, it is clear that we are very unlike God. God’s likeness … Continue reading God’s Image Restored in Christ
Created in the Image of God
By Sarah Wootten “When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up…the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature,” (Genesis 2:5-7, ESV). Over … Continue reading Created in the Image of God
God is Gracious
By Audrey Christensen Exodus 34 is a pivotal chapter in the Old Testament because, in it, God characterizes Himself. Moses has recently received–and subsequently broken–the original Ten Commandments, so God is having him remake them. And God says to Moses about Himself: “The LORD descended in the cloud and stood with [Moses] there, and proclaimed … Continue reading God is Gracious
God is Love
By Joey Carroll If any characteristic of God is well-known, love would be it. Scripture is certainly clear on the subject. 1 John 4:8 states, “…God is love.” John, the Gospel writer, does not simply describe God’s character as loving, but describes the very essence of God’s nature as love. Without question, the greatest display … Continue reading God is Love
The Just God
By Cody Anderson How many times have you heard, “That’s not fair?” Or how about, “Because I said so.” These are common phrases you probably heard growing up. As we grew up, we realized that life isn’t fair because fair is subjective. Our parents, being the authority in our lives, had the right to … Continue reading The Just God
