By: Frank Tunstall, D. Min. The goal of this study is to choose four of the Jehovah names of God and present them as models for earthly dads. No father can do perfectly what these Jehovah names of God calls for, but dads can love the Lord and their family to the point the intentions […]

By: Frank Tunstall, D. Min. When we recall Paul’s two letters to the believers in Thessalonica, we appropriately think of the great apostle’s prophecies on the second coming of Jesus. But we must not miss Paul’s instruction on holy living. The Holy Spirit’s call to morality is recorded in Paul’s first letter (1 Thessalonians 4:1-8). […]
By: Frank G. Tunstall, D. Min. Philip the deacon was among those expelled from Jerusalem by the Jewish ruling authorities who used expulsion as a tool to try to control the spread of the gospel (Acts 8:1). Philip went to one of the towns in Samaria and “proclaimed the Christ there” (Acts 8:5). Jesus had […]
By: Frank Tunstall, D. Min. Jesus ended His first visit to the temple knowing the rulers did not want the new life He offered Nicodemus (in John 3); they even saw it as blasphemy.

Peter was boldness personified anchored in three great gospel facts. First, Peter was […]
By: Frank Tunstall “I know that I will soon put my body aside as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me,” Peter wrote in his second epistle. On so many occasion and in so many ways, Peter had been the pillar of the twelve apostles. Now, near the end of his life […]
By: Frank Tunstall The prophets: “yearning to understand Messiah’s suffering and glory” (1 Peter 1:10-11 NIV). Spring is bursting out all around us. Grass, trees, bushes, flowers – they’re all experiencing a resurrection. Nature gives billions of witnesses to the resurrection. But nature is also limited. Only the story of the death and resurrection of […]
By: Frank Tunstall, D. Min. How important that we rethink our doctrine of repentance and rediscover sin is sin precisely because it violates God. “Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love,” King David pled following his tryst with Bathsheba that ended in her pregnant and her husband murdered. “According to your […]
By: Frank Tunstall, D. Min. Think about it. Rebellion against God is how the indictment reads, and every living person is guilty. “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). We have no plea to make; indeed, we can never do enough works of righteousness even to mount a defense. […]
