The Book of Esther has often stood out as a controversial book of the Bible. Some theologians questioned whether it should even be in the Bible! It raises questions for any honest reader: Why is God never mentioned? Is Esther a woman of virtue or compromise? Does this condone the objectification and abuse of women? […]
“The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We observed his glory, the glory as the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). Nowhere else can one read such surprising words! At Christmas, we celebrate the incarnation of the Son of God – Jesus, the One who has […]
Exodus is one of those books that many begin and few finish. It’s like a movie that shifts from action to drama halfway through. But to check out too early is to miss the point of the book as a whole. Exodus is about the power and presence of God. He is the main actor. […]

What does faith look like? It’s common for many people to claim they have faith in Christ, and simply mean that they assent to certain theological facts. But this is not faith as the Bible defines it. Faith is eternally important. Our sermon series in Galatians last year made that abundantly clear. The question still […]
The story of Ruth is about an immigrant widow who seeks a new life after bitterly losing much that she has loved. It’s a story of uncertainty, risk, and resolve. It’s a story of God’s love and faithfulness in the midst of sorrow and confusion. It’s a story, amongst many in the Bible, that shows […]
