Contributed by Richard Tow on Oct 3, 2022

This exposition of Zechariah 12:10-14 examines the spiritual transformation of all the remnant of Israel at Christ's Second Coming and the three essentials of genuine salvation taught in the passage. This is a powerful evangelism text.

Intro In Zechariah 12 we have first a description of the physical deliverance God gives Israel during the Battle of Armageddon. In two movements, the Lord gives Israel victory over the much larger army of the Antichrist. First God weakens the enemy by sabotaging their war machine and throwing their ...read more

Who Shall Roll Away The Stone?

Contributed by Allan Kircher on Apr 26, 2011

That question gathers up the mournful enquiry of the whole universe. “Who shall roll away the stone?” In man’s path of happiness lies this huge rock, which completely blocks the road to eternity. Who among the mighty shall remove the barrier?

Jacob’s Sorrows Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 18, 2022

Our circumstances distort our perspective. Troubles come on everyone. They came on Jacob; they will come on us. We can easily lose perspective and make things seem worse than they really are. Jacob vowed to go down to the grave mourning Joseph and Joseph was not even dead.

I. It all started with a dream! A. Joseph was loved above all Jacob’s children; so much so that he was given a coat of many colors that set him apart from the others. Because of his father’s love and favor for Joseph he was hated by his brothers. 1. Let me say here that favor will ...read more

To imitate God means to be like him. As far back as Leviticus 11:45 God said, "Be holy, for I am holy."Jesus gave us the starting point for imitating God in the Sermon on the Mount. We need to mourn over our sin with a broken and contrite spirit. When we

The Day Jesus Wept Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 22, 2012

Odd things about this story: Why does the Bible tells us "Jesus wept"? And why didn’t Jesus "show up" a few days earlier and make sure Lazarus didn’t die? Why allow this close personal friend to die, and allow his friends and family to mourn?
