Equipping the Saints

Penal Substitution in the Gospels

By Will Schuurman | July 27, 2018 | Leave a Comment |
Tagged: penal substitution, penal substitutionary atonement, theology

Jesus Christ died on the cross as a propitiation for our sins (1 John 2:2). He bore our sins in his body on the cross as our substitute (1 Peter 2:24). In doing so, he pacified the wrath of God on behalf of his people. This is known as the doctrine of penal substitutionary atonement (PSA).Read more

Penal Substitutionary Atonement is the Heart of the Gospel: Who Agrees?

By Will Schuurman | July 19, 2018 | Leave a Comment |
Tagged: atonement, penal substitution, penal substitutionary atonement

My pastor, Jacob Reaume, has recently said that “penal substitutionary atonement is central to the Christian gospel” and that “to deny penal substitutionary atonement (PSA) is to deny the Gospel.” I wholeheartedly agree. Without Christ’s penal substitution, there remains no saving gospel. There was no other way for the penalty of our sins to beRead more

Penal Substitutionary Atonement Through the Ages

By Will Schuurman | July 12, 2018 | Leave a Comment |
Tagged: atonement, penal substitution, penal substitutionary atonement

On the cross, Jesus Christ paid the penalty for sin, fully bearing and satisfying God’s wrath toward the sins of his people. He was punished in our place as our substitute. He is the propitiation for our sins. This biblical truth is known as penal substitutionary atonement and is central to the gospel message. WithoutRead more

Fear, The Red Sea, and The Faithfulness of God

Fear not. Stand firm. See the salvation of the LORD. Be silent. – Exodus 14:13-14 The Problem The Israelites had been suffering affliction at the hands of the Egyptians for 400 years (Genesis 15:13). Pharaoh, the tyrannical King of Egypt, had ruthlessly made them his slaves (Exodus 1:14). Understandably, Israel cried out to God inRead more

The Gospel According to Scripture

By Will Schuurman | April 18, 2018 | Leave a Comment |
Tagged: authority of scripture, gospel

I had the privilege to speak at a retreat in February on 2 Timothy 3:14-17. In verse 15, it says that Scripture is “able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.” As a result, I decided to use only Scripture–only the words of God–to give a gospel presentation during the message.Read more

“Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.” – Romans 12:13 As I mentioned in my last post on discipling parents in small groups, there have been 55 babies born in our church in just the last three years alone. God in his grace has brought many young people and youngRead more
