    The Eternal Throne Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 5, 2019

     | 5,193 views

    The Letter to Hebrew Christians emphasizes the deity of Christ Jesus. Even long ago, some wanted to reduce His divinity to the status of a mere demigod, by identifying Him as an angel. The Word is quite aggressive in presenting Jesus as the Son of God, Himself very God.

    “Of the angels [God] says, ‘He makes his angels winds, and his ministers a flame of fire.’ “But of the Son he says, ‘Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your ...read more

    Sin can sometimes pounce upon you and destroy you in one fell swoop … or it can quietly, silently eat away at your heart and soul. Achan's story in Joshua 7 can show us what happens when we try to hide or bury our sin.

    We’ve all heard the question: “How do you boil a frog?” And the answer is: “One degree at a time.” Now … scientifically, it turns out that that’s not true. When the water gets hot enough, the frog will jump out of the water. How do you destroy a person’s soul? Answer: One sin at a ...read more

    If you want to save yourself and lead others to safety, commit yourself totally to the Lord, and don’t compromise on that commitment. But if you have, cry out to the Lord, who can still save you and use you for His glory.

    God Is Big Enough To Conquer My Sin Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Sep 20, 2019

    Colossian 2:11-15 11 In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who ...read more
