Gospel Series: Jesus Comes

Last time, we discussed the effects of sin and the problem in the world. In the biblical story we have been looking for a savior to come and restore God’s people once again. We have been lost and looking for the perfect Messiah. At the beginning of the New Testament, we see a character emerge…

Gospel Series: Sin

The gospel of Jesus Christ is the most important message we could ever hear. It is the message that brings salvation, hope, and life. In this short gospel series, we are going to break down each component of the gospel message to look at it from a deeper standpoint. I hope this series will help…

Prophets: Jesus

We have been studying prophets in the Bible and their role and purpose in the Scriptures. We started at the beginning, with Abraham and have worked our way through the many different characters and roles prophets have played throughout history. This time we will conclude our study with the ultimate prophet who we’ve been waiting…

Bitterness/Resentment

Many times, people do things to us or someone we love that can cause bitterness or resentment towards that person.

Some believe that God can be three beings in one, others believe that God is just one being. But what does the Bible say? Does the Bible say God is actually one being or somehow a three-in-one…

Prophets: Origin and Mission

As we enter our study of the prophets, it is important that we clear our minds of any known conceptions we have about biblical prophets. Although we may know some things about prophets, these can get in the way of understanding new information we may discover through this study. We are going to start at…

Christmas: Emmanuel

Prophets: Introduction

In the modern-Western culture, prophets of old are often seen as fortune tellers and those who could predict future events. Usually these events were not depicted in the most positive ways and were often predictions of…
