Is He Your God? Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 15, 2021

Good Friday: Psalm 22 is an amazingly accurate depiction of the events that surrounded Jesus’ crucifixion, and there is a lot we can learn from this passage about God’s character and His power over both life and death.

Our passage that we will examine today is amazing, for it is a prophecy of the passion story, or an account of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, that was written nearly 800 years before the birth of Jesus. James Smith says that, “Such a hope [as is found in this passage] must be restricted to the ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Mar 21, 2024

Throughout history, great men have predicted a coming spiritual awakening. God's miraculous works will be so evident that even skeptics will be amazed, resulting in a widespread turning toward God and revealing what some call the working of the Holy Spirit as nothing more than worked-up flesh.
