Hymn: “Lord, It Belongs Not to My Care” by Richard Baxter
Lord, it belongs not to my careWhether I die or live;To love and serve Thee is my share,And this Thy grace must give.

Is There More to Repentance Than Feeling Guilty?
Repentance is a key doctrine of Christian faith. From John the Baptist’s wilderness cry in the Gospels (Matt. 3:2, Mark 1:4, Luke 3:3) to Paul’s defense before King Agrippa (Acts 26:20) and beyond, it’s a regular topic of the New Testament’s teaching. In fact, right after His resurrection, Jesus told His disciples, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations” (Luke 24:46–47). A call to repentance, the Lord said, is a fundamental part of Gospel proclamation.

What Do You Know about the Authentic Jesus of Nazareth?
Maybe you’ve heard this description somewhere: He was born in poverty, lived only thirty-three years, spent most of His life in obscurity, never wrote a book, never had any position in public life, was crucified with two thieves—and yet two thousand years later, millions still follow Him. It’s certainly not the whole story of Jesus Christ, but it is a helpful, thought-provoking summary of His legacy. Whether we’re convinced in our faith or questioning in our agnosticism, there’s no escaping the fact that Jesus of Nazareth has left an indelible mark on human history. All of us must reckon with the question of His identity.

Justification: “The Principal Article of All Christian Doctrine”
There are few doctrines as important for Christians to understand as justification. So significant is it that Martin Luther referred to it as “the principal article of all Christian doctrine.” He even went so far as to say, “If the article of justification be once lost, then is all true Christian doctrine lost.” In other words, justification is a main thing, and it is a plain thing. It is not peripheral; it is absolutely central. It’s hard to fathom questions that are more fundamental than “How in the world can a sinful man or a woman be reconciled to a holy God?”
Prepare for Gospel Conversations by Reading the Book Confronting Jesus
Jesus asked His disciples two important questions: “Who do people say that I am?” and “Who do you say that I am?” The book Confronting Jesus: 9 Encounters with the Hero of the Gospel answers both of these questions by drawing directly from all four Gospels. It lays a solid foundation that examines nine characteristics of Jesus’ identity so you can clearly articulate who Jesus is and all that He accomplished.
Knowing God as Father
All who are in Christ are God’s children. Yet many people find it difficult to think of God as their Father. This can be especially true for those whose earthly fathers have left them with unhappy recollections of sinful behavior and its consequences.
