Overlooked Treasures in Obscure Texts

Some parts of the Bible rarely get preached, but that doesn’t mean they’re less inspired or less valuable. Preaching obscure passages trains believers to see God’s truth in every chapter, mine deeply for meaning, and trust that all Scripture is profitable for life and godliness.

Worthwhile Boasting

Galatians 6:11-18 – Instead of bragging about what we can do in our lives, we should focus on what Christ did through His death. The cross of Jesus is the only worthwhile boasting we should communicate.
