    This sermon is a contrast between God's goals for the believer and the church and Satan's goals for individuals. God wants to make us like Christ, Satan wants to slowly destroy us.

Biblical basis: Matthew 28:18-20 (called the Great Commission) God's goal for You: To work in all things for our good in order to conform us to the image of his Son, Jesus Christ, Biblical basis: Romans ...read more

    Paul KNEW he was rightfully THE called Apostle of Christ to the Gentiles. However, Paul did not stand on HIS rights but deferred to God's calling in his life! We must not focus on what we believe is our RIGHT, but we must DO what is right in God's plan.

    The Dignity Of The King Vs. The Depravity Of Humanity

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 21, 2022
     | 1,072 views

    John 18:12-36 continues the story of Jesus' journey towards the cross as He faced His enemies and an illegal trial based on false charges. What they didn't know was that Jesus was in control and that this was part of the redemptive plan (1 Corinthians 2:7-8).

    The Lord Jesus had been arrested while in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-52; Luke 22:47-53; John 18:1-11). He was being hauled off to an illegal trial on false charges. This is the beginning of an obvious plot using any means possible by the Pharisees and the other ...read more

    The Personification Of Truth Vs. The Pettiness Of Skepticism

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 24, 2022
     | 1,133 views

    The drama of redemption continued as the Lord Jesus, having faced an illegal trial by the religious authorities of Israel, now faced the representative of political authority in Israel, Pontius Pilate, and the conversation he had with the true Authority.

    John 18:28-40 records the probable final conversation that the Lord Jesus has with another person before he was led off to be crucified. He had a dialogue with the Roman governor of the Judean province, Pontius Pilate, and we also see that these two men had opposing agendas. Pilate comes across ...read more

    What should Christians do with disruptive heretics in their midst?

    God easily overcomes educated, intelligent, so-called wisdom that denies Him: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.” … Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

    The author contrasts Jesus and Moses. The Jews perceived Moses to be a great man, great prophet, great leader, and great lawgiver. Yet Jesus fulfilled all those roles as well―to a greater degree than Moses.

SON (HEBREWS 3:5-6a) Introduction: The author has already briefly contrasted Jesus with the Old Testament prophets (1:1, 2) and more explicitly with the angels (1:3-2:18).
