Our conventional view of time is insufficient to explain the eternal nature of God. As the one who created our space-time universe and stands outside of time, God always was and always is; there’s never been a time when He didn’t exist.

Read MoreAfter the Israelites were delivered from the hand of the Egyptians and they finally entered the Promised Land, God gave them laws, through Moses, to teach them how to live in their newfound freedom. These principles, summarized in the Ten Commandments, still have a profound impact on the world today.
Read MoreAfter the Flood, the Lord reinstated His command for people to “be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth”; He also allowed the eating of animals (not only plants), and He made a covenant with Noah.

Psalm 139 is a beautiful meditation on God’s perfect knowledge, presence, power, and holiness. It offers an example to us today of how to respond and confess to the character and Person of the One who knows us intimately and completely.
Read MoreKen Boa launches a new series on “Corporate Spirituality,” focused on our growth in faith in the context of community. Our ability to love, serve others, and edify (and be edified in) the body of Christ must overflow from our own relationship with and security in Christ.
Read MoreKen Boa teaches on Matthew 21, in which we see, among other themes, the central theme of mounting opposition to Jesus by the religious leaders of His day (ultimately leading to His death, burial, and resurrection).
