The Resurrection Of Jesus Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 11, 2022

He is risen! He is alive! Jesus raised never to die again. Others in the New Testament were raised, but died again, like Lazarus. Jesus was raised from the dead and he shall live forever.

Christ's Sacrifice (Hebrews 10)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on May 26, 2024

How is Jesus a better sacrifice than all the animal sacrifices of the old covenant? Let's discuss this in Hebrews 10.

Was the law a shadow of the good things to come? Was it impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins? Did God really want such a sacrifice or an offering? Did He perfect the people who are being made holy with one offering for all time? Do we need patient endurance, so that we will ...read more

Do we believe that God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him? Let’s discuss this in Hebrews 11. What is faith? Did faith make the ancient ...read more
