Scripture in Motion | Discerning God's Will For Your Life

God is so great that even the very smallest detail of the universe is under His control. The most distant galaxy … the littlest seed … even the smallest sub-atomic particle—everything was created by Him, and is under His sovereign control. So what does that mean for our choices of…

Life Matters | Family: The Family That Prays Together

The phrase, “The Family That Prays Together, Stays Together” was coined by Venerable Father Patrick Peyton. And it seems to have been received as a relatively uncontroversial assertion. But today we want to ask why this works. Why does the family that prays together stay together?

Scripture in Motion | Discerning God's Will For Your Life

How do we reconcile what the Bible says about the absolute sovereignty of God with the equally valid scriptural teaching that man has been given free will? If God controls everything, how can we be genuinely responsible for our own choices and actions?

Bible Corner | VOP Lesson: God’s Church in Our Day

Bible Corner | Fundamental Beliefs: God, the Holy Spirit

When we seek God earnestly, oftentimes we may not know exactly what to pray for. The beautiful work of the Holy Spirit is to intercede on behalf of God’s children. By this God makes “all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called…

Bible Corner | Fundamental Beliefs: God, the Holy Spirit

When you look to scripture, it’s clear that the Holy Spirit is a part of the triune God. The term God is inclusive of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; we see this in the great commission of Matthew 28:18-20. Jesus implores His disciples to go and preach the Gospel to…
