    The Wounds Of Christ

    Christ’s reprehensible suffering is prophesied in the Old Testament. Bruised, Wounded, Smitten! Have you ever stopped to consider the wounds He received in His substitutionary death for you and me.

    The Wounds of Christ Isaiah 53:5 Within a few days from the Triumphal Entry, the exaltation of Christ by the crowds would quickly give way to untold suffering and the angry shouts of a mob saying “Crucify Him!” Christ’s reprehensible suffering is prophesied in the Old Testament. ...read more

    Melchizedek Who? Series

    Contributed by Davon Huss on May 2, 2011
     | 5,513 views

    A sermon on Hebrews 7 about Melchizedek and then talks about the greatness of Jesus Christ (Seed thought from Charles Spurgeon http://www.spurgeon.org/sermons/1835.htm) (Outline and much adapted from Harold Martin http://www.brfwitness.org/?p=356)

    HoHum: If we were asked to name the most important people in the OT, I doubt that Melchizedek’s name would be on our list. He appeared once, in Genesis 14:17-24; and once more, in Psalm 110:4. Read both passages. Psalm 110:4 is referred to twice in this chapter of Hebrews I would hardly call ...read more

    No One Likes An Exaggerating God Series

    There are some passages that seem to suggest that God might be stretching the truth with some of His promises, but the reality is the God of the Bible does not lie.

    Background: • Our difficult verse is found in Psalms 37:25 – “I have been young and now I am old, Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his descendants begging bread.” Is it true that no Christians (God’s children) have ever been hungry enough ...read more

    How do you handle the pressures of life? How can we make sure the pressure cooker of life doesn't cause us to explode?

    “Faith That Works: Pressure Cooker Living” James 1:1-12 Pressure cookers are wonderful. They are manufactured to help bring food to a proper tenderness and fitness. It’s an amazing process in which the pressure inside the cooker is intense – so much so that if the cook is ...read more

    Here is David's attempt to manipulate others in order to hide his sin. Far to many today still manipulate others in an attempt to get their way or to hide their sin. "O, what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive."

    God redeemed the world through suffering, and we can understand, if not fully comprehend, the mystery.

    Thursday after Ash Wednesday 2014 Lumen Fidei On this first day after the solemn beginning of Lent, as we begin our forty-day retreat, the Church gives us some stark words. Deuteronomy tells us that the choice is between life and death, between blessing and curse. Honor and obey God alone, and ...read more

    “he Was Tortured By The Romans” Series

     | 5,201 views

    The Romans tortured Jesus out of ignorance. But is that a justifiable excuse?

    It’s interesting to contrast how the suffering of Jesus is portrayed. There are depictions that are rated PG. There’s hardly any blood; and Jesus looks more annoyed than in pain. There’s a heavenly glow around His head, as He gazes into heaven. Then there are depictions that more ...read more

    Fiery trial! 1 Peter 4:12”Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;” You’ll never find a rainbow if you are looking down! We keep concentrating on the problem, make circles around the issue, ...read more

    If you have ever been abandoned and disappointed by other people, if you have ever felt forgotten by God, Genesis 40 has a word for you.

    (A few years ago, I called the IRS. I was really anxious to have them correct a mistake they’d made. They were saying I only had one daughter, when I knew perfectly well that I had two.
