Father, Into Thy Hands I Commend My Spirit Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 10, 2021

Jesus concluded the profound statements from the cross with a final prayer to the Father. This was not a resignation of defeat, but the words of the sovereign Lord who remained in complete control, even in death.

Father, Into Thy Hands I Commend My Spirit Luke 23:46 This morning we come to the last of the seven sayings our blessed Lord spoke while hanging upon the cross.

Jesus Will Come Again.

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Dec 26, 2020

Each year, the Oxford English Dictionary identifies a word as its ‘word of the year.’ But this year, the Oxford English Dictionary was unable to.

Rerdeeming The Time

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 13, 2021

For example, Carolyn Copeland gives us this story in the Christian Reader. - The daughter of our pastor was asked to give the closing prayer at her high school graduation. A Jewish student was asked to ...read more

Woman, Behold Thy Son Series

Woman, Behold Thy Son John 19: 26-27 We have now come to the 3rd of Jesus’ sayings upon the cross. Literally these are two statements, but they are typically combined as the 3rd saying because they are within the same context.

Redeemed From Rebellion

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 2, 2017

As Hosea redeemed his wife, Gomer, from the slave market, he revealed the unwavering love of God for Israel. This was also a beautiful picture of what Christ would do for humanity as He offered Himself the atoning sacrifice for sin.

Redeemed from Rebellion Hosea 3: 1-3 Last week we were introduced to the prophet Hosea, and the difficult situations brought upon the family due to the infidelity of his wife, Gomer.

God's Saving Grace

Contributed by Robert Webb on Sep 3, 2022

Christ made the atonement for the sins of the world in place of sinners that deserved death. He gave His body as a propitiation (an appeasement, an atonement, as a sacrifice) for the sins of the world. If anyone could appreciate the Grace of God it had to be Paul

"Looking Good Is Not Enough”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Aug 26, 2021

Jesus challenged the Pharisees..... religion is useless and worthless, ineffective when it substitutes a human plan of salvation for God's plan of redemption; when it rests upon man's works. (Illus. Pharisee robes and rules.) (Illus. what people do to look better)
