"So for us here today, may we also examine ourselves? Are we also like the soldiers who saw Christ? They felt his power yet continued on in unbelief. My friends, have you not yet bowed your knee to Christ? Have you not yet accepted your own sinfulness and helplessness before him? Well, if you hear his voice now, do not harden your heart lest you also become blinded to the light of the Glorious gospel of Christ. Repent from your unbelief, turn to Christ to seek salvation; he will not turn you away." - Joshua Enns

"Childbearing is the way that God saved the world. All of us who will ever be saved will be saved through childbearing. In the Garden, when God's curse fell on Adam and Eve, it fell on the serpent as well—Satan, the Great Deceiver, was cursed to eat dust as a snake and to be at war with humankind. God then promised Eve that she would go on to have an offspring who would deal the fatal blow to Satan. Galatians 4:4 says, "When the fullness of time came, God sent his son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem us from the curse of the law." Eve's distant descendant, Mary, would have God's incarnate son in her womb and give birth to the Head Crusher, Jesus Christ. Jesus, who would live a perfect life and die a criminal's death on the cross to take God's wrath for our sin upon himself, to grant us his righteousness that his wayward children might be a part of his household in a restored relationship with God, to destroy Satan, sin, and death once and for all for all those who repent and call upon his name. This is how childbearing has been redeemed, how motherhood has been redeemed. Women of Grace, your womanhood has been redeemed by Christ. Serve him with it, with everything you have and everything you are, to the glory of his name and the building of his kingdom." - Bryan Warkentin

"So then, what hope is there? How can sinners like you and me, who have been condemned by scripture, be made right with God? This is where the gospel comes in. The good news is that in his great love, God sent his only Son to die on the cross in the place of sinners, taking the penalty they deserve for their sin. He then rose again and ascended to the right hand of the Father, where he reigns as King of kings and Lord of lords, and offers a royal pardon to all who will turn to him in repentance and faith. Repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved." - Riley Toews
