Belgic Confession, Article 28 | The Communion of Saints

February 24, 2013 – 5:33 pm

The “Communion of Saints” is the union all Christians share together with Jesus Christ. Because of this union there are wonderful benefits and obligations that apply to all Christians in the church. Yet this has been lost on many who approach the church as a place to consume religion. Scripture Lesson: Ephesians 4:1-6 http://media.urclearning.org/audio/tm.communionofsaints02-24-13.mp3

Leviticus 27 | Vows

February 24, 2013 – 5:26 pm

If you’re like most Americans, you’ve made vows to others and/or to God but you have broken them. Read the Bible and you’ll see that you are in good company.

Belgic Confession, Article 28 | The True Visible Church

February 13, 2013 – 10:28 pm

What does the Belgic Confession mean that there is no salvation outside of the true visible church? This can be understood in the context of Christ’s teaching on the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Leviticus 26 | Good works

February 13, 2013 – 10:22 pm

People on the street believe that if they do enough good works, they will go to heaven. This is something they actually pick up from what the Bible teaches: good works are required to enter heaven.
