    Contributed by David Leach on Jan 25, 2014
     | 11,672 views

     | 2,696 views

    This is one of the most challenging passages in the New Testament. Why does Jesus say, "You are gods"?

    - This is a difficult passage that needs to be unpacked carefully. And so we are going to walk through it step-by-step and verse-by-verse to see if we can make it all add up. - Also, bonus question as we start: can anyone name the gospel passage that happens at Hanukkah? No? Well, let’s see ...read more

    "Why does the Bible make unbelievers uncomfortable?" This discomfort isn't a new phenomenon. Throughout history, the message of the Bible has often been met with resistance and unease.

    Why Does the Bible Make Unbelievers Uncomfortable? I once read about a man who was vehemently opposed to Christianity. After years of resistance, a simple, loving conversation with a believer opened his heart to the gospel. Today, he is a passionate follower of Christ, using his testimony to reach ...read more

    In this sermon we observe six reasons why there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

    Scripture Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones once said that for a preacher the greatest book of the Bible should be one that he is expounding at the moment.

     | 1,397 views

    A symbol is like a picture that speaks volumes about things that words cannot describe.

    Sometimes people inadvertently deploy iconic expressions to cut short the necessity of employing so many words in tactful discussions. For example, people often say a picture is worth a thousand words. This expression immediately brings up the image that a picture can reveal more intimate details ...read more
