David’s 911 Call For Help (1-2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 4, 2022

Psalm 35 is another of David’s imprecatory prayers. In it David appeals to a righteous God to send judgment upon the enemies of God, and the persecutors of His righteous people.

WHY DID DAVID PRAY SUCH A PRAYER? It is believed that since Old Testament characters did not have the benefit of the New Testament, they did not have a complete revelation of the judgment seat of Christ. Therefore they believe the wicked had to be judged and to be rewarded in this life for ...read more

Are The Father, Son, And Holy Spirit The Same Essence?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on May 25, 2023

Today we will look at the Trinity, often defined as "one in ‘essence,’ three in person." What does that mean exactly? God is three Persons, and the name 'God' implies one ‘essence.’ If God is "three Persons," how can there be "one" ‘essence’? The meaning of the ...read more

What Christ’s Fulfillment Means For You - Matthew 5:17-18 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 27, 2024
