September 21, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - Grace, Luke 1:13-17, Luke 7:26-34, Qumran, Unbelief

When an angel of the Lord announced to Zacharias that he and Elizabeth would have a son, the angel also told him many details about the coming child. One was that this son, John the Baptist, would be a person who did not drink wine or strong drink. Why was that the case? Why did

A Light Shining in the Darkness

September 11, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - 2 Kings 25, Forgiveness, Grace, Israel

The Book of Second Kings ends on a very dark note. In fact, one would be hard-pressed to paint a bleaker picture of a nation. The ten tribes in the Jews’ northern kingdom had been defeated by the Assyrians about 140 years earlier. They had been taken off to Assyria as captives. Now the Babylonians

Nobody Has Out-sinned the Grace of God

Manasseh, one of the kings of Judah, was not a good man. He brought a great deal of grief upon his people. He ruled for 55 years and is described by the author of 2 Kings as the evilest king in the nation’s history (2 Kgs 21:1-16). When God gave the Jews the Promised Land,

Remembering the Unforgiving Servant (Matthew 18:21-35)

August 23, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - Forgiveness, Grace, Mercy

One lesson from the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant in Matt 18:21-35 is that as believers, we have received grace from God. When we come down hard on others who sin, it is often true that we have been guilty of the same sin. We need to look at ourselves before being quick to judge

Calling the Wrong Person (2 Kings 17:24-33)

August 9, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - Assyria, captivity, False Teaching., Grace, Luke 6:39-40

We have all had a job that needed to be done and that we couldn’t complete without help. On some of these occasions, we’ve asked for that help from the wrong person. For example, we might have needed some help fixing our car and a friend told us they could help us because they really

Who Are the “Enemies of the Cross” (Phil 3:18)?

June 29, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - Grace, humble, legalism, Servant

My guess is that many people who read this description automatically assume Paul is talking about nonbelievers. I know that many Calvinists and Lordship Salvation teachers take that position. They find support for this view
