    The Voice.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 28, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,658 views

    John the Baptist provides a prime example of a preacher's humility: pointing away from himself to Jesus: not seeking to add followers to His own fold, but to Christ, the Son of God.

    THE VOICE. John 1:19-28. The prologue to John’s Gospel gives an account of how Eternity broke into time (John 1:1; John 1:14): yet Time encroaches on the very timelessness of the account in the person of “a man sent from God, whose name was John” (John 1:6). This John is not to be confused with ...read more

    18C There's an old story about a hermit who stumbled onto a cave in which was hidden an enormous treasure. The hermit, being old and wise, realized what he had discovered and immediately took to his heels and ran from the cave as fast as he could. But as he was running, he came upon three ...read more

    The Nature Of The Resurrection Body.

     | 1,571 views

    Continuity and discontinuity between the natural and the spiritual.

    THE NATURE OF THE RESURRECTION BODY. 1 Corinthians 15:35-38, 1 Corinthians 15:42-50. We can imagine one of Paul’s hecklers in Corinth posing the question, “How are the dead raised? And with what body do they come?” (1 Corinthians 15:35). This does not sound like an inquiry of faith, but ...read more

    Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Job 38:2.

    WHO IS THIS? Job 38:1-7, Job 38:34-41. After all the crying and sighing, moaning and groaning of Job (and I do not blame him for it); after all the blaming and shaming, sharing and tearing of his ‘miserable comforters’ (Job 16:2): “Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind” (Job 38:1). ...read more

    Our Lord is the most just of all judges

    Third Sunday in Advent 2022 Justice in Judgement–that’s what every one of us wants when we are in trouble, whether someone else imperiled us or we did it to ourselves.

    The Life I Live

     | 14,915 views

    What does it mean to be crucified with Christ? Paul explores this thought as he writes of his own experience.

    *Galatians 2:20* *The Life I Live* “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”[1] Zealous Christians sometimes say they are trying to ...read more

    The Preposition "Eis" In Acts 2:38

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Jun 30, 2006
    based on 15 ratings
     | 8,689 views

    This is an examination of the meaning of the Greek preposition "eis" as we determine whether remission of sins precedes or follows repentance and baptism.

    During the last Century, theologians who believe that salvation is attained only by belief in Christ have made the assertion that the Greek preposition eis translated in Acts 2:38 as “for” should be translated “because of”. They assert that the Greek would suggest that one must repent and be ...read more

     | 3,165 views

    Just like the Sadducees, we can selectively read scripture and so make false and disastrous assumptions about Christ and his call (Luke 20:27-40)

    One of the curious things about religious people is that they can develop very fixed ideas about what is right and what is wrong. Sometimes these are bolstered by appeals to their religious texts, sometimes it is based on experience, or a sort of philosophical position. Jesus interaction with the ...read more

    This is a continuation of the teachings of the Lord Jesus gives in His "Sermon on the Mount" as written in Matthew 5-7.

    After the Lord Jesus presented the "model prayer" (vv.9-15) as an aide in helping us talk to God the Father in love, devotion, and faith, He turned His attention to the issue of fasting or abstaining from food or a particular activity for a period of time as an act of worship and ...read more
