Amazing grace! How sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now I am found, WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE. In December of 1772 John Newton started to write the song that is so well known, Amazing Grace. I am not aware of every verse that inspired John Newton to write this song, but I do suspect that John 9 could have been used. If it wasn’t, it is still a very fitting line for the chapter we are studying today. Here are some points....

Galatians 6
One of the things I have been encouraged by is seeing time and time again how Paul roots all of his theology back to the gospel. Chapter 6 is a practical picture of someone who is living by the Spirit and not the flesh, which was rooted in the gospel (vs) 5:24 says “and those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” The way th...

If you notice in this chapter Paul takes a very parental approach when addressing the Galatian church. That is because he deeply cares for their soul, and he sees the dangers of turning to legalism. We will divide this into two parts....

God set them free by sending the most powerful plagues in the history of the world. He then conquered their enemies by literally parting the Red Sea and leading them through safely before crushing Pharaoh and his armies beneath the collapsin...

Once every Israelite had safely made it above the water line, the Lord closed the waters in, destroying Pharaoh and his entire army. Proverbs 11:10 tells us that, “when the wicked perish there are shouts of ...

There is perhaps no event more iconic in the Old Testament than the parting of the Red Sea. It is the final nail in the coffin as the Lord was completing the absolute humiliation of the Egyptians. There have been many attempts throughout history to claim that the Israelites did not actually walk through what we think of the Red Sea today. Skeptics instead believe that Mose...
