Exalt Christ In Everything Series

Contributed by David Welch on Feb 8, 2018

Second in a series on Philippians where Paul reveals the axis on which his whole life revolves -- Exalting Christ in everything.

Jesus Christ Proclaimed Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 8, 2017

Mark jumps right into the life and ministry of Jesus, proclaiming Him as the Son of God. The Gospel opens with John the Baptist, preaching a message of repentance in preparation for the coming of Christ. He too proclaimed His deity.

Jesus Christ Proclaimed Mark 1: 1-8 As we begin our study in Mark’s Gospel, it is interesting to note that he doesn’t offer any genealogy of Christ, the events surrounding His birth, or any details about His childhood. These would have been essential to reach a Jewish audience, but ...read more

A New Vision Of Christ

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Feb 26, 2017
