In this course we will examine five moments in Moses' ascent of Mount Sinai: his entry into the darkness; the elders' vision of the sapphire pavement; the...

Sixty superlative sermons on familiar Old Testament texts.
Many Christian preachers today largely neglect the Old Testament in their sermons, focusing instead on the Gospel accounts of Jesus' teachings and activities. As Fleming Rutledge points out, however, when the New Testament is disconnected from the context of the Old Testament, it is like a house with no foundation, a plant with no roots, or a pump with no well.
In this powerful collection...

Even a cursory read of the Gospel of Matthew makes clear that it is concerned with the identity of Jesus Christ. These meditations attempt not to focus on tangential topics that relate to Jesus, even though these are important. Rather, they seek to focus simply on who Jesus is. Because 2020 exposed the fragility, corruption, and misery of humanity, such a focus is not only welcome but sorely needed. Humanity does not merely require self-help books...

The resurrection of Jesus from the dead is like the signature of God certifying that everything Jesus did was the work of God, and everything Jesus taught and promised is absolutely true. The disciples were not expecting Jesus to come back from the dead even though He had told them beforehand that He would. They had to be convinced of the resurrection. What was some of the evidence they encountered that convinced them that Jesus was alive and drove...

It has often been said that the most famous verse in the Bible is John chapter 3 verse 16. Indeed, many Christians are able to quote it by heart. However, if we asked them about John 3:15 or 3:17, they might struggle.
And so began my quest. What about looking at all the 3:16s in the whole Bible? I looked at a few verses at random, and then decided to begin at the beginning with Genesis. I very nearly abandoned the whole project, right there! How...

Holiness is a dull word these days, conjuring up men and women with sullen, morose faces, full of rectitude and rigid duty. True holiness, however, is anything but dull. It is startling and arresting. It's more than being decent, good, ethical and upright. It has that quality that the Bible calls "the beauty of holiness."
This is the picture of holiness that the New Testament writer James draws for us. It is a portrayal that fascinates us and awakens...

First Corinthians offers readers a window into the social life and setting of an early Christ-movement congregation. The Apostle Paul's practical guidance to the Corinthians living in a Roman colony overlaps with many contemporary concerns: identity, leadership, sexuality, gender, diversity, worship, theology, and economics. All too often, however, the letter is read in an individualistic and supersessionistic way. Furthermore, parts of the letter...
