An Eternal Priest In A Changing World

Contributed by Marvin P. Hoogland on Jul 7, 2019

The epistle to the Hebrews describes Jesus as "a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."

Our world is changing. Not only is it changing, but it is changing at an accelerating pace. The difference between our times and earlier times is not that now the world is changing whereas in earlier ages it wasn't. The world has always been on the go. Customs, institutions, knowledge, have ...read more

In Exchange For Your Soul

I Really Want To... But! Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Sep 2, 2022

The command to follow Christ as a disciple, as an ambassador, and as a proclaimer of the good news is a command. Yet most of the time we treat our mission in this world as something optional.

I really want to... But! Jesus told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned (Mark 16:15-16 NLT) As Christians, we know we are supposed to share our faith. Almost every ...read more

"o Come, O Come, Emmanuel" Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Dec 16, 2018

I have always wanted to so an Advent series based on traditional Christmas carols/hymns. We've gotten so used to them that I think we miss the depth of the theology contained within in them. One of the most ancient is the beautiful hymn that contains the ancient names of Jesus.

I love the way that Pastor and author Robert J. Morgan describes hymns: “Hymns help us praise God. They’re shafts of brilliant sunlight through the clouds. They provide an almost mystical connection with the endless anthems of praise raising at this very moment before the heavenly throne. They ...read more

The Christmas Love

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Dec 13, 2011

God comes TO you and He comes FOR you. Let this two simple truths encourage you to trust in His faithfulness and goodness. He has never and will never leave you. He is always for you, and not against you.

What Does It Mean To Have God With Us? Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Nov 4, 2010

God has come not just to put His hand on us, not just to say ’Well done’ and give us a pat on the back and push us forward - but He has come to stay, He has come to dwell, He has come to reside with us!

Immanuel - God with us Isaiah 7:10-14 10 Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz, 11 “Ask the LORD your God for a sign, whether in the deepest depths or in the highest heights.” 12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask; I will not put the LORD to the test.” 13 Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, you house of David!

The True Meaning Of Christmas

Contributed by Patrick Nix on Dec 10, 2010

To so many, the mystery of this event brings a magic to their celebration like none other. Let’s unwrap the greatest Christmas gift ever given and discover the REAL REASON for the SEASON... Why was Jesus Born?

I think that we both would agree that Christmas is more than the cards and gifts, more than the trees and lights, more than family and food. There is a much deeper meaning, a much more fulfilling notion than that of a fat, bearded man on a sleigh. It is the birth of the Christ child: the true ...read more

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 9, 2024

Builds off Brandon D. Crowe's article "Fulfillment in Matthew as Eschatological Reversal." Broadening people's perspectives on how the NT "fulfills" the OT.

Today marks an expected rabbit trail off our rabbit trail. I'm going to try to introduce you to one of the most complicated subjects in all of biblical study-- the way the NT uses the OT. And then next week, we will inch our way back closer to the rabbit trail I'd planned on taking. ...read more

The Prophecy Of Our Messiah Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Dec 18, 2021

R.C. Sproul once said, “What we celebrate is not so much the birth of a baby, but the incarnation of God Himself.” (Critical concept to remember – not just a birthday celebration!) Today, it is my prayer that we would be focused on this truth and that we’d see this story in a fresh light!

Introduction - “What is Advent?” -- The word Advent means "coming" or "arrival" -- The focus of this season is the celebration of the birth of Jesus the Christ -- His birth is his First Advent, his first coming, to a world in great need -- It also reflects on the ...read more
