A Refuge From God's Wrath Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 20, 2019

Jesus became a man to deliver us from God's wrath. His birth does speak of divine justice, of heavenly mercy and God's love. But, that love delivers us from judgement. If we reject the love of God in Christ the Lord, nothing remains but God's wrath.

“I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, ‘You are my Son; today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ Now ...read more

Loving Leah

Contributed by Pastor Michael Threadgill on May 8, 2025

Leah, the first wife of Jacob, is one of the most overlooked figures in the Bible even though she may have felt weary or unwanted, God saw her, honored her, and made her fruitful. Her life is a powerful testimony to how God uses the overlooked to fulfill His greatest purposes.

The Shadow Of The Cross Over The Incarnation

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Apr 13, 2001

The full significance of the Incarnation is only seen when its dark side is understood - in the Sign of a Sword to Mary’s heart, the Symbol of Myrrh as an offering from the wise men and the Sorrow of Rachael over her dead children.

If the message of the Incarnation, the coming of Jesus into human experience, had to be condensed into a single sentence it couldn’t be bettered than the words of John: "He came to his own home and his own people received him not" (1:11). In the opening verses of his Gospel, John had already ...read more
