The Lordship Of Jesus Christ

Contributed by Mark Baker on Apr 2, 2006

When Peter stood and proclaimed this message on the day of Pentecost he didn’t have all of the revelation of the New Covenant that was to be revealed as time progressed. He stood up with the knowledge that Jesus was Lord and Christ. Glory!

Assuredly means it’s a sure thing, it’s a done deal. It doesn’t get any surer than that. When Peter stood and proclaimed this ...read more

Finding Gold In The Garbage Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 14, 2010

No one whose hope is in God will be put to shame. It is not the harsh realities that defeat us but our inability to see God¡¯s goodness and will in them. Trust the Sovereign God who is in control and still very much involved in your life.
