Only The Lamb Is Worthy

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Apr 29, 2025

A scroll sealed with seven seals is in the hand of the One on the throne, and no one is found worthy to open it or even look at it—until the Lion of the tribe of Judah appears. But when John looks, he sees not a lion but a Lamb that appears slain.

Only the Lamb is Worthy Revelation 5:1-10 I think that as we begin looking at our text today in Revelation 5:1-10, it would help us to understand something of the background that led up to this point in John's vision. John's Revelation of Jesus Christ begins with a powerful vision of the ...read more

Good Friday

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 8, 2021

Jesus is identified with the lamb, for they die without a fight. They meekly go to their death without attacking or resisting. Jesus laid down His life voluntarily, and He did not, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, snarl and rip and tear at His crucifiers.

Two leading British scientists have done a great deal of research, and they have concluded that Jesus died on Friday April 3rd, 33 A.D. Collin J. Humphreys and W. G. Waddington of Oxford University published their findings in the British Science Magazine. Their combined study of the Gospels and ...read more

Benjamin Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 27, 2022

God Complains To His People

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 5, 2022

Consider a lawyer as he sets forth God's case against the people of Israel and Judah. That was Micah's job. God did not like the sin that happened then, and He doesn't like it today.

The book of Micah was written to God's people, the children of Israel in the Northern Kingdom, and of Judah in the Southern Kingdom. It was written to warn them of the coming judgment from God but to also for them to repent. Throughout the book of Micah, the need for peace and justice is ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 3, 2024

The worship of the queen of heaven was a vile, idolatrous practice derived originally from Babylon right back to Nimrod. Judah was so committed to this gross worship that God even forbade Jeremiah to plead/intercede for the people. Certain destruction awaited them.
