A look at the last words of Christ from the cross

Lk. 23.46 From the Cross: Father, Into Your Hands I Commit My Spirit 1. I know it may seem a little strange to still be considering the cross on Easter Sunday. I mean, after all, today is the day we are to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, not His death. But I think if we ...read more

Getting Your Hands Around God’s Love Series

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jul 29, 2018

You have that one little temptation that keeps getting you, no matter how hard you try? You feel like you could have written Romans 7, where Paul says, “I don’t do what I ...read more

…the Good Hand Of His God Upon Him

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 9, 2021

Today in this sermon, we want to turn our attention to a very special man. His name is Ezra. He is one of those fellows you do not hear a great deal about, but yet he was a giant among men in the spiritual world.

Ezra was a priest, but he was not able to serve in the temple because the temple had been destroyed. This could be why we do not hear a lot about Ezra. He was not a temple priest. Ezra is noted for other things, such as: • He studied the Word of God. In Ezra 7:6, we read that he was, “A ready ...read more
