Our Great High Priest

Contributed by Ben Peak on Jan 3, 2008

Jesus Christ has become our eternal High Priest. And I think there are three things that these verses tell us about our High Priest that should come as an encouragement to us.

From the time of the fall of Adam man has needed a mediator… someone who would span the gap that now separated him from God. Man is sinful. God is holy. And because of His holiness God will have no fellowship or connection with sin. Before the fall God and man had close fellowship with each ...read more

The Origin Of Christ

Contributed by Ron Macarthur on Jul 20, 2007

This teaching shows us where Jesus came from and His relationship with God the Father. It will give some startling information to many. It is from the Gospel of John.

John will not begin his Gospel with a genealogy nor an account of Christ’s birth as was done on other Gospels. Instead he will immediately establish who Jesus is and exactly what His origin is. Let’s look to the first verses. JN 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and ...read more

Which Side Are You On?

Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 11, 2007

When you face Jesus you must decide whether or not you will receive as Lord and make Him your Master.

Do you ever find it interesting, concerning some people who claim faith in the same Lord that you do? If you were to ask them, "If you die today, are you going to heaven?" they would say, "Yes." Yet, there’s so much difference in the level of commitment, such a vast difference in the way they live ...read more

It is so sacred to the Jews that a person must be 30 years old before they are permitted to read it. The book is read every year at Passover. Like Esther, there is no mention of God. There ...read more
