    Jesus instructs his followers how to deal with anger, desire for revenge, and mistreatment from enemies. From a Sermon on the Mount series.

    Find Atonement In God's Intercessor

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jan 30, 2006
    based on 11 ratings
     | 4,670 views

    Christ has done what Moses could not do. He has "made atonement" for the sins of God’s people. Jesus took our guilt upon himself. Jesus received the punishment we deserved because of our sins.

    In the Old Testament lesson for this Sunday we heard how Moses served as a sign to God’s people. He symbolized a greater prophet who would appear some time in the future. For forty years Moses filled the role of God’s voice among the Israelites. Remember they had asked for that arrangement after ...read more

My Dad could also be strict with me sometimes, however, and if I knew that I had done something I was ...read more

    This is the second 1/2 of a two part sermon addressing the link between God’s sovereignty to act without us and his requirement that we pray so that he can act.
