On March 13, 2016, I began an expository sermon series based on the Psalms. By the time I finish preaching them and writing the books, I will publish nine volumes. I desire that this, and all subsequent books, help you see yourself in the lives of the various psalmists as they share their ups and downs and what they did to glorify God in all things.

They reveal the whole spectrum of emotions and how they...

It is often noted that Psalm 118:8, “It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man,” is the middle verse of the Bible.

Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Paul wrote the epistle to the Colossians, refuting all false claims about God.

Through the leading of the Holy Spirit, Paul would not allow anything to compromise the truth. The Church at Colossae dealt with Gnosticism, paganism, mysticism, Greek philosophies, and Old Testament practices of the Law fulfilled by Christ. Yet, none of these could withstand the truth of God’s Word. In ...
