"I used to be a school teacher, and now I am a pastor. Both professions involve instructing others. I do not want to sound overly simple, but good teachers provide information people do not already have. If they already knew it, they would not need the instruction! Most letters in the New Testament are instructive. There is the occasional time an epistle will say, “I want to remind you…” but primarily they were written to provide new information. This is why James 1:3 is so unique! In the ESV and NIV it says, “You know that the testing of your faith produces [patience].” James was not teaching something new. He was telling readers what they already understand about trials. They test our faith!"

Sunday's sermon turned into a blog post with audio and video:
https://www.scottlapierre.org/we-obey-what-we-fear/
Do you know what truly shapes our obedience? Our actions are governed by what we fear. Drawing from the timeless examples of Abraham, the Hebrew midwives, Pharaoh, Saul, and even the religious leaders, we learn that obedience to God flows from a genuine fear of Him—and not from our fear of man. Why? because we obey what we fear.

The Rev RX podcast interviewed me about Abraham and Isaac:
“What if one of the most dramatic stories in the Bible was actually a signpost pointing to something even greater? The story of Abraham and Isaac isn't just about faith- it's a powerful foreshadowing of God's ultimate love through Jesus.
In this episode, I sit down with Pastor and Author Scott LaPierre to explore the Biblical symbolism of Abraham and Isaac, uncovering how this event mirrors God's greatest act of love- the sacrifice of His Son on the cross.
If you've ever wondered how the Old Testament connects to Jesus or needed a fresh reminder of God's deep, sacrificial love for you - this episode is for you!”
