The Law of Moses?

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on June 4, 2020 by Steve DurkacJune 4, 2020avatar

I want to make some general statements regarding the Law of Moses, in hopes that I can shed some biblical light on the place of the law in our Christian walk. When the Bible makes mention of “the law” it sometimes speaks to a specific order of laws or general application as in when the Apostle John speaks of “commands” or the Psalms speak of “Thy law is good” but there are really three different uses to the word “law” … Continue reading →

Troubles Are Not The End

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on June 28, 2016 by Steve DurkacJune 28, 2016avatar

When we signed up for the Christian life, we weren’t given a bubble to protect us from the pains and problems of the world around us. Being a believer in Jesus Christ doesn’t exempt us from the troubles of being human and being in a sinful world.

Jesus Confronts Legalism

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on April 18, 2016 by Steve DurkacApril 18, 2016avatar

Yesterday we looked at John 2:13-25 “Jesus Cleanses the Temple” and we discussed God’s grace in the Passover, being angry without sinning (Ephesians 4:26) the Temple and it’s message of transference to Jesus Christ, those who want a “sign” rather than a scripture, the hard truth that every man has a heart intent on evil (Jeremiah 17:9), and how the action of holy wrath on the part of our Lord is similar in a smaller scale to the wrath to be … Continue reading →

Sufficient Grace in our Weakness

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on October 7, 2015 by Steve DurkacOctober 7, 2015avatar

In our discussion tonight I made reference to 2 Corinthians 12:9 but realized on my drive home that I didn’t fully quote it, and I should have because I missed the part that was most pertinent to our conversation, so here it is in its entirety: “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ … Continue reading →
