Jesus Christ, Our Great High Priest

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 13, 2022

On the last night of Jesus' life before going to the cross, He spent time with the Father in prayer, serving as our great High Priest making intercession with God the Father on our behalf (Hebrews 3:1, 6:20). This "high priestly" prayer warrants our attention.

So far in John's gospel, we have encountered glorious portraits of the life, work, and teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ that give "many convincing proofs" (Acts 1:3) of HIs divinity and godly authority which no one else can ever claim. He healed the sick, raised the dead, fed the ...read more

What God Has Made Possible

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Sep 4, 2021

Scripture plainly states that salvation is of the LORD (Psalm 3:8; Isaiah 12:2; Hebrews 5:9) and that we have absolutely no power in and of ourselves to say or do otherwise. This teaching is not popular nor welcome today, but must be proclaimed regardless of what we think, say, or do.

What I am about to say will not be welcome in many of the pulpits of America today and certainly will not be offered as the solution to the ills, sins, and woes facing our nation and the world today. All of the talk we have heard from "experts", "scholars", ...read more

Spread The Word Despite The Odds Sermon Iv: Let Courage Rise With Danger Series

The Rejected Cornerstone

Contributed by Rev. Duraimony Dickson on Aug 21, 2021

Where is your cornerstone? Where is your foundation? Do not depend on and create a foundation on people in this world. Let the Lord be your cornerstone and capstone.

The Solid Truth Concerning Salvation

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 16, 2021

Faithful servants of Jesus Christ like the apostle Paul and those who have followed him over the centuries were obedient to His call to proclaim the gospel despite hardships and opposition. We are to be just as faithful to the LORD in proclaiming the Gospel message as they had been.

At the end of the book of Acts, the apostle Paul is under house arrest in Rome awaiting a hearing from Caesar at his request. He is to appear before Nero and give an account of his work, teaching, and testimony concerning the Lord Jesus Christ and the salvation from sin He provides to all ...read more

Solus Christus - Salvation Through Christ Alone Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 17, 2017

Solus Christus is one of the five basic doctrines re-captured after the Reformation. Jesus, the Christ, so saturates the NT that anyone reading through the Bible would be amazed to find that people would think salvation could be found in anyone else!

Please open your Bibles to Acts 4:5-12 which we will read in a few minutes. A couple of weeks ago we took a look at the five “Solas” that were established after the Protestant Reformation came along in 1517. The Latin word Sola simply means something that stands alone, something that is the only ...read more
