Christ the Prophet, Great Doctrines of the Bible by Martyn Lloyd-Jones

The Promised Prophet

Posted on September 9, 2019 by James Williams

The Old Testament is filled with stories of men and women that God used in powerful ways.

The Incarnation

Posted on June 24, 2019 by James Williams

One of the most beautiful, mysterious, and yet mind-boggling teachings of Scripture is that God put on flesh and dwelt among us. Every year at Christmas we celebrate the miracle that the second person of the Trinity “became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14). Without such a miracle, there would simply be no hope…

Consider Jesus

Posted on June 3, 2019 by James Williams

In chapter 22 of Great Doctrines of the Bible, Martyn Lloyd-Jones highlights four reasons Scripture gives for everyone to consider Jesus: He is the fulfillment of all prophecies and promises Jesus himself teaches that all of Scripture points to himself (John 5:39; Luke 24:27).

Can A Believer Be Blotted Out of the Book of Life?

What Might Church Discipline Look Like? A Personal Testimony

Posted on April 29, 2019 by James Williams

In a previous post, we looked at the need for the church to engage in church discipline. The Biblical teaching is clear, yet because many churches have abandoned the process, many are unsure of what church discipline really looks like.

Loving Our Neighbor Through Church Discipline

Posted on April 15, 2019 by James Williams

Satan is crafty and sin is deceptive. The book of Proverbs teaches that “there is a way that seems right to man, but its end is the way to death” (14:12, 16:25). Like putting makeup on a pig, sin disguises itself so we don’t see its true nature. It slowly lures us to its desired…

The Covenant of Grace in the Old Testament

Posted on April 8, 2019 by James Williams

Our study of Great Doctrines of the Bible has taken us through the creation and fall of man.
