Each week at The Shepherd’s Church, we preach short homilies on the law of God and have decided to share those here as a resource to the people of God. This week, the command not to take the Sabbath as holy

“The destruction of Jerusalem was not the beginning of the end—it was the end of the beginning. Now, His dominion will stretch from sea to sea. The knowledge of the Lord will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea.""

Sex will either be a glory or a grave. It will either nourish and strengthen your marriage, or it will destroy and enslave. The choice is yours: will you squander this gift in reckless waste, or will you let it grow stagnant through neglect? Or will you drink deeply, rejoicing in the good gift of intimacy as God intended?

Each week at The Shepherd’s Church, we preach short homilies on the law of God and have decided to share those here as a resource to the people of God. This week, the command not to take God’s name as holy.

"Stop worrying about a rapture that will never happen. Stop waiting for an escape that was never promised. Stop wasting your days gazing at the sky when Christ has called you to put your hands to the plow. Take responsibility. Lead your family. Build your community. Shape the culture. Take dominion."

Last time, I outlined the shortcomings of using “complementarianism” to summarize what Scripture teaches about manhood and womanhood, arguing for “biblical patriarchy” instead. This post explains what biblical patriarchy is and isn’t, so we can shed our negative misconceptions of patriarchy and embrace it for the blessing it is.

Each week at The Shepherd’s Church, we preach short homilies on the law of God and have decided to share those here as a resource to the people of God. This week, the command not to make or bow to any idols.

The narrow way will become the broad way before it is over, and for that, we must SHOUT ON, PRAY ON, AND KEEP ON GAINING GROUND. GLORY HALLELUJAH!

“The storms we face are not random squalls of fate, but the proving ground of grace. Trials do not merely test our faith; they temper it. We may be wounded, but we are being made strong."

"Jesus isn't coming back to rescue a defeated church—He is returning for a victorious bride. The Church is not an intermission in Jewish history. We are the Israel of God, and we are in the main event. The gates of hell do not advance against us. We are the ones who will see them fall as we march ever onward."

“The fig tree of Judah has fallen. The tree of life remains. And His Kingdom shall have no end.”

Each week at The Shepherd’s Church, we preach short homilies on the law of God and have decided to share those here as a resource to the people of God. This week, the command not to envy.

"The dispensationalists can keep looking at the sky, waiting for their heavenly airlift. They can keep sitting in their bunkers, flipping through prophecy charts, waiting for a trumpet that has already blown. But the rest of us? We go to war. We march forward. We proclaim the Gospel. We conquer the nations. We tear down every wall, every stronghold, every false kingdom, every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of Christ. Because the trumpet has sounded. The Kingdom has come. The battle belongs to the Lord. And His dominion will never end."

Each week at The Shepherd’s Church, we preach short homilies on the law of God and have decided to share those here as a resource to the people of God. This week, the command not to flatter.

“"Jesus’ words in Matthew 24:30 are not about a future descent from heaven but a profound declaration of His heavenly enthronement and His judgment upon Jerusalem. His 'coming on the clouds' is a display of divine authority, fulfilling Daniel 7 and proving that Christ reigns as the sovereign King.”

"The next time doubts rise up, don’t let them have the last word. Doubt your doubts instead. Challenge them with the truth of God’s Word. Speak these promises over yourself, even if your heart struggles to believe them at first. Let them drown out the noise of the chatterbox and fill your mind with the voice of your Shepherd, who calls you by name (John 10:3)."

The words we use are important. In rightly seeking to combat feminism in the American church, a poorly-chosen word has actually undermined the very position it was supposed to uphold: “complementarianism”. This post will examine why the term is deficient and what terminology better describes what Scripture actually teaches. 

“The antidote to defeat isn’t despair, doom, or dispensational gloomery—it’s courage, resilience, and a fighting spirit. Christ calls us to plant the flag of His kingdom in the soil of this world, not wave the white flag of surrender. Just like the book of Acts, we advance no matter what—whether they mock us, imprison us, or even kill us. Because here’s the thing: if we persevere in faithfulness, we will win, not because of us, but because the world belongs to Jesus, and His dominion is unstoppable”

“The destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 was not a tragic accident but the divine fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy, marking the end of the Old Covenant and the triumph of Christ’s redemptive work. History, Scripture, and prophecy align to declare that the abomination of desolation has already occurred, vindicating Christ’s authority and confirming the Gospel’s victory.”

In truth, the Fall is about far more than a poor diet choice. Reducing the Fall to fruit misses the point of sin and thus cheapens the Gospel. To examine what really happened in the Fall, we must go back to the Garden, remembering that this is no myth but actual history. The command was real, the corruption was real, and the consequences were real.
