"...no Man Cared For My Soul”

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 21, 2022

One Man Shall Die For All Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 15, 2021

Good Friday: All of us have ideas about the person of Christ and His work. Because of their presuppositions, the chief priests and Pharisees were unable to see the "truth" that Jesus was and is the long-awaited Messiah and Savior.

This day is called “good,” because it’s good for us. In a prophecy of the Messiah, in Isaiah 53:4-5, we read, “Surely, ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Nov 2, 2021
