We fight sin in our lives and in the life of the nation.

"Do You See Jesus?"

Contributed by Clark Tanner on Jan 16, 2002

The writer wants us to see Him; a little lower than the angels, in the suffering of death, and crowned with glory and honor.

INTRO: (read 2:5-18) When he writes, “But we do see Him who has been made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus...” the author cannot mean that we see Jesus with the natural eye. Even at the time this letter was written, Jesus had more than 30 years previously, ascended ...read more

He Went A Little Farther

Contributed by Jerry Carr on Jun 9, 2001

We find as Jesus went to Gethsemane, Gabbatha, Galgotha, and the Grave, that he conquered every obstacle that was set before him, just as we must.

When we think of Calvary, it speaks of sins forgiven, but in order for those sins to be forgiven there had to be someone to pay the price. It speaks of Peace with God, but before we can experience Peace there must be Victory. It speaks of Eternal Life, but before we can have eternal life, the ...read more

Melchizedek – A Better King Series

Contributed by Stephen Wright on Apr 8, 2006

The author of Hebrews takes Melchizedek, a shadowy figure, and shows that he was a prototype of the Lord Jesus Christ - the true king of Righteousness

Introduction If I asked you to name the most important people in the Old Testament I doubt that Melchizedek would be on your list, much less at the top.
