01 Thessalonians Introduction

Paul is writing to a very young church of people from different ethnic groups in a city that is intensely hostile to them.  Paul wants to encourage them to persevere in the faith and clarify some issues that confuse them.

01 Habakkuk Introduction

February 16, 2022 by Krisan Marotta

The Old Testament book of Habakkuk speaks to two of the most fundamental questions of the Christian faith: 1) How long will God let His people suffer? and 2) Why should we keep believing Him if we’re not spared the tragedies of life?

Old Testament Canon: Why these books?

01 Gospel of Matthew Introduction

February 3, 2021 by Krisan Marotta

Jesus claimed that “all authority in heaven and on earth” has been given to him (Mt 28:18). If that’s true, and I believe it is, then we benefit by learning all we can about Jesus. Matthew wrote this gospel to tell us who Jesus is and what that means for us.

New Testament Canon: Why these books?

December 15, 2020 by Krisan Marotta

Scholars have attacked Christianity by claiming that Christians don’t know which books should belong to the New Testament canon and which ones shouldn’t. If we don’t know the answer to why these 27 books, then we do have a problem. But it’s not the Achilles heel of Christian faith that critics claim it is. We Christians do have an answer.
