    Our passage teaches us of a violent grace. Though man would cast down the Servant, God would lift Him up and glorify Him. He who man esteemed not, God would magnify.

    ISAIAH 52:13 15 - 52:15 THE LIFTED UP SERVANT John 12: 32-33 The text we begin today may be the best know in the Old Testament. The passage is certainly one of the riches and most unmistakable prophecies in the Bible. Our text begins the fourth ...read more

    Sex. It is big in today’s world. As Christians we are constantly pressured to conform to the world’s low sexual standards. But we must resist and in this passage Paul gives us God’s standards for sexual purity.

A mortal.” This is pretty much the general opinion concerning Jesus. ...read more
