    How often do we proclaim God who is King eternal, invisible, and Only God?

    We continue to worship our Lord by growing our faith in Him by hearing His Word. The Letters to Timothy were written by the Apostle Paul called by God to give instructions. Timothy was called to lead and teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to Ephesians living in a pagan society. The Ephesians ...read more

    The Crown Of Suffering Series

    The scourging Jesus endured would have been unimaginably horrific, but His suffering was from over. Following the merciless beating, Jesus was then subjected to ridicule and mockery. All of this was done for you and me!

    The Crown of Suffering Mark 15: 16-21 Our last study ended with a gripping statement: And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. It doesn’t reveal much detail. We are merely told that Jesus was ...read more

    God urges us to consider four elements of the Lord’s victory: 1) His triumphant sin-bearing, 2) sermon, 3) salvation, and 4) supremacy.

    On the events of this week, John Piper noted: All of us have sinned against God, not just against man. This is an outrage ten thousand times worse than the collapse of the 35W bridge. That any human is breathing at this minute on this planet is sheer mercy from God. God makes the sun rise and the ...read more

    Do We Have A Case Of Heartburn?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 12, 2023
     | 1,592 views

    This is the story of the two men that were going back to Emmaus and what happened to them on their journey. They almost missed something because they were centered around their own personal issues.

    In verses 13-16: The two men walking toward Emmaus were so caught up in themselves and their own problems that they did not see Jesus or even recognize Him. Undoubtedly, they had heard His preaching, the various parables, and what He was teaching about Himself. It was as if they were not looking ...read more

    We can learn much by meditating on the trajectory from Adam, through Job, to Christ and ourselves.

    Good Friday 2014 Blessed Be the Name of the Lord! It all started in a garden. The Lord God, out of love, made a man and a woman, and gave them what today we’d call their operating system: love each other, make lots of babies, and tend the garden.

    A perspective on Matthew 25: 31-46. The good news continues when Jesus will remove all oppression in our life by removing the goat from our presence.

    Matthew 25: 31-46 Hope in suffering Many editors of Bibles and commentaries subtitle our Gospel text as, ‘The judgement.’ They focus on judgement portrayed by the shepherd separating the sheep from the goats, the righteous from the self-righteous, and the good from the bad.

    Israel believed that the Messiah that was to come would be a conquering Messiah. The sermon discribes the Messiah as the Suffering Servant who offers the hearers an informative tongue and helps the people by being the Suffering Servant.

    Isaiah 50:4-9 The Suffering Servant They longed for a victorious Messiah, not a suffering one. The image of the suffering servant went underground, as it were, lying dormant for centuries. Then, in a very dramatic scene early in his ministry, Jesus quoted from one of the servant ...read more
