    Jesus' authority to forgive sins.

    FAITH, FORGIVENESS AND HEALING. Matthew 9:1-8. The place referred to as “His own city” (Matthew 9:1) appears to be Capernaum (cf. Mark 2:1). This is all the more tragic because of the ‘woe’ which Jesus would later pronounce against that city (Matthew 11:23-24). It would be a tragedy to have ...read more

    JESUS CRUCIFIED. John 19:1-37. 1). BEHOLD YOUR KING. John 19:1-16. JOHN 19:1.

    The nature and extent of His dominion.

    THE REIGN OF MESSIAH. Psalm 72:1-8. The name of Solomon is associated with this Psalm, and it is quite possible that this sacred song was premiered on the occasion of his coronation.
