It, like the sacrifices given by the priests, are a fulfillment of the system of OT worship. Just as we are the temple, the priests, the ...read more

    Slaves To Sons Series

     | 5,150 views

    To be a slave your entire life is devastating and discouraging. To be under the guidance of a schoolmaster is frustrating and limiting. But to be a son or daughter, to have a Heavenly Father, that’s a relationship you can enjoy for eternity.

    INTRO: I want to start the message with an excerpt of an email I received a few weeks ago where someone shared a brief glimpse of their spiritual maturation in regard to the topics we’ve been centered on for the last couple months. I enjoyed it very much then, and believe it could serve as a great ...read more

The people had abandoned God. • The last 27 chapters talk about redemption, God’s forgiveness for the people, and the deliverance by a ...read more
