Isa 53: 3 Jesus Was Despised Series

Contributed by Robert Irvine on Apr 15, 2024

In Theology, if something is duplicated in the Bible, we can assume that God is making an effort to get our attention on the issue. So it’s interesting that the word “despised” is repeated twice in this verse. So we can say that God wants us to know that Jesus was despised.

Christmas Animals

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Nov 25, 2000

The Substitute

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Dec 31, 2000

The sacrificial system points to God’s desire to save his people, the seriousness of our sin and God’s willingness to forgive. Tying the OT sacrificial system to the sacrifice of Christ.

Many people begin to read about the Old Testament sacrificial system and think something like: “Why all the blood? Why all this slaughtering of animals? It seems so gruesome and disgusting. Why did God require all of that? What was the purpose?” Confusing as it is, the Old Testament ...read more

Waiting For An Important Call Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 14, 2008

One of the most frustrating things about prayer is that we seem to be doing all the talking. How do I "hear" God’s answers if He’s not "answering" me?

Journey From Freedom To Slavery Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Mar 14, 2013

The point of this whole Bible miniseries is to have the opportunity to see how even the ancient major stories in the Bible are relevant to us and reveal God's intentions toward all of us.

Many of us have stories of our ancestors don't we. Maybe it's the Grandpa that came to Canada with $5 in his pocket. Or a family member who fought in a famous war. And of course the parent who walked to and from school uphill everyday in 6 feet of snow. I never could figure out how it's uphill both ...read more

Will You Follow Me? Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Jul 26, 2013

Now it wasn’t just the 10 commandments. Moses in that short time received 4 chapters of detailed laws ...read more
