Pleasing God, Making Disciples of Jesus Christ

Theology

Romans 11:33 – Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!

Theology is the study of the nature of God, such as his attributes, his person, his relationship with humanity, and all spiritual truths which emanate from Him. Here you will find articles and resources to begin to understand the Christian theology which is the basis for our faith and our assurances of salvation.

You can begin to explore the foundation of our theological beliefs by reading our Articles of Faith, our Church Covenant, and the London Baptist Confession of 1689 (external site).

The Sweet Perfume of Christ’s Character

JOHN 3:30 –  He must increase, but I must decrease.” It isn’t far away. Really it isn’t.  There are small signs of it even though mounds of dirty snow still occupy spots in many parking lots.  I am referring to spring and the “resurrection of nature” from the deadness of winter.  The flowers are eager to burst forth and the sweet fragrances…

Another Work of God In Us

ECCLESIASTES 3:18 – I said in my heart with regard to the children of man that God is testing them that they may see that they themselves are but beasts.”   God does many works in the lives of His children.  Here are just a few. He teaches us.  He directs us.  He comforts us.  He corrects us.  He conforms us into…

Commit, Cast, and Leave it There

PSALM 37:5 – Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.”   There is a verse in the New Testament offering a nice complement to today’s scripture.  It is familiar and found in the Apostle Peter’s first letter – casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).   In both verses,…
