“The storms we face are not random squalls of fate, but the proving ground of grace. Trials do not merely test our faith; they temper it. We may be wounded, but we are being made strong."

"Jesus isn't coming back to rescue a defeated church—He is returning for a victorious bride. The Church is not an intermission in Jewish history. We are the Israel of God, and we are in the main event. The gates of hell do not advance against us. We are the ones who will see them fall as we march ever onward."

“The fig tree of Judah has fallen. The tree of life remains. And His Kingdom shall have no end.”

Each week at The Shepherd’s Church, we preach short homilies on the law of God and have decided to share those here as a resource to the people of God. This week, the command not to envy.

"The dispensationalists can keep looking at the sky, waiting for their heavenly airlift. They can keep sitting in their bunkers, flipping through prophecy charts, waiting for a trumpet that has already blown. But the rest of us? We go to war. We march forward. We proclaim the Gospel. We conquer the nations. We tear down every wall, every stronghold, every false kingdom, every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of Christ. Because the trumpet has sounded. The Kingdom has come. The battle belongs to the Lord. And His dominion will never end."

“"Jesus’ words in Matthew 24:30 are not about a future descent from heaven but a profound declaration of His heavenly enthronement and His judgment upon Jerusalem. His 'coming on the clouds' is a display of divine authority, fulfilling Daniel 7 and proving that Christ reigns as the sovereign King.”

"The next time doubts rise up, don’t let them have the last word. Doubt your doubts instead. Challenge them with the truth of God’s Word. Speak these promises over yourself, even if your heart struggles to believe them at first. Let them drown out the noise of the chatterbox and fill your mind with the voice of your Shepherd, who calls you by name (John 10:3)."

The words we use are important. In rightly seeking to combat feminism in the American church, a poorly-chosen word has actually undermined the very position it was supposed to uphold: “complementarianism”. This post will examine why the term is deficient and what terminology better describes what Scripture actually teaches. 

“The antidote to defeat isn’t despair, doom, or dispensational gloomery—it’s courage, resilience, and a fighting spirit. Christ calls us to plant the flag of His kingdom in the soil of this world, not wave the white flag of surrender. Just like the book of Acts, we advance no matter what—whether they mock us, imprison us, or even kill us. Because here’s the thing: if we persevere in faithfulness, we will win, not because of us, but because the world belongs to Jesus, and His dominion is unstoppable”

“The destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 was not a tragic accident but the divine fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy, marking the end of the Old Covenant and the triumph of Christ’s redemptive work. History, Scripture, and prophecy align to declare that the abomination of desolation has already occurred, vindicating Christ’s authority and confirming the Gospel’s victory.”

In truth, the Fall is about far more than a poor diet choice. Reducing the Fall to fruit misses the point of sin and thus cheapens the Gospel. To examine what really happened in the Fall, we must go back to the Garden, remembering that this is no myth but actual history. The command was real, the corruption was real, and the consequences were real.

"True joy can be found in depression, sadness, anxiety, and pain. You are not broken because you hurt. Real brokenness is sitting in your hurt without looking to the healer."

Many of the “Left Behind” generation of the American church fixate on being ready for the rapture by trusting in Christ.  But by examining Luke 12, we will discover what it really means to be ready for Christ’s return.

“Jesus warned that the love of many would grow cold, and history bears witness to how this prophecy came true. Under Satan’s relentless influence, the Jewish nation spiraled into a psychopathic frenzy of hatred—toward their enemies, their brothers, and eventually, themselves.”

Advent marks both the coming of the King and His ultimate conquest. The helpless baby in the manger didn’t stay that way: He came to destroy the works of the devil, to dethrone Satan, and replace him as the rightful ruler of this world.

This is the shape of true Gospel fidelity: truth spoken with reverence, correction offered with humility, and confrontation undertaken with a heart that weeps for those in darkness.

"The apostasy Jesus predicted wasn’t confined to the last days of human history—it was an imminent apostasy. Jewish converts who had embraced the Gospel with joy were abandoning Christ to return to the shadows of the old covenant. This was no mere lapse in faith; it was a deliberate rejection of the One who fulfilled the law, a betrayal that proved they were never truly of Him."
