Which Shepherd Are You Choosing? (Pt. 2) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 19, 2022

This exposition of Zechariah 11:7-17 examines Zechariah's prediction of Christ's rejection at his First Advent and the consequences of that rejection. The timeless truth taught is: when the leadership God sends is rejected, the judgment that follows is bad leadership.

Intro We concluded last week with God instructing Zechariah to take on the role of a shepherd.

He is to represent the Lord as a good ...read more

A Resurrected Greeting

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Apr 10, 2022

Taking our teaching from Romans 6:4, we’ll be looking at the basis of our greeting one another during this time and what the resurrection proves and guarantees, and some of the evidence to prove the resurrection beyond a shadow of a doubt. Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!

A Resurrected Greeting Romans 6:4 America is one of the few countries where the customary greeting for Easter has absolutely no connection to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. What we hear is “Happy Easter.” But this is not how the church has greeted one another in times past. The early church ...read more

Four Days Late
