Brother Jerome shows how Paul’s unwavering faith in Christ helped him push through hardships, while Peter encouraged early Christians to stay strong by keeping their focus on Christ’s return. Faith acts like a shield, protecting us from the enemy’s lies and giving us the endurance to stand firm. Just like gold is refined in fire, trials strengthen and purify our faith, preparing us for the glory that’s coming. When we trust in God’s promises, we can stand firm, knowing our faith will be rewarded.

The meaning is probably that the church will be able to propagate the gospel throughout the world, but when their work is finished, the antichristian world powers will persecute the church and silence it by driving it underground. However, God will have the last say by vindicating the church, raising it from the dead and rapturing it at the second coming of Christ.

What has been called "The Parable of the Prodigal Son" is really "The Parable of the Two Lost Sons." Both sons of the father in this parable are lost. Both are alienated from their father. Both need to be reconciled. Both were only really interested in what they could get out of their father, instead of a relationship with their father. In this message we examine their alienation from their father, the effects of their alienation, and the remedy for their alienation.

Luke 15 is one extended parable in three parts: the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son. In this message, we focus on the lost sheep and the lost coin, and see some fascinating truths - the total inability of the sinner, the sovereign grace displayed in our salvation, and the joy of God in His work of redemption. In this entire chapter Jesus is showing the scribes and Pharisees the Father's heart of joy in seeking and saving the lost, which was diametrically opposed to their own heart which avoided contact with sinners at all costs. Do you look more like Jesus or the Pharisees?

Unlike most of us, Jesus was not impressed by numbers of people. Instead, when large crowds followed Him, He sifted them, and thinned the ranks. He did this by telling them the Cost of Radical Discipleship - they must give up the people, comforts, and things that were most dear to them in order to follow Him. Then Jesus enforced this teaching by giving them three illustrations of the Dangers of Rashly Embracing Discipleship. Those dangers are Ridicule, Destruction, and Uselessness.

Adam and Eve clothed themselves in fig leaves, but God rejected their garments, and instead made them garments of skin. Every person in the world is either dressed in his own righteousness or the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Are you dressed in fig leaves or a fur coat?

Why is our world in such a mess? The only answer that makes any sense is the answer given in Genesis 3. In this message we explore Satan's Schemes, Man's Failure, and Christ's Obedience.

The divine institution of marriage is in serious trouble today. In this passage in Genesis we see God's ideal for marriage, and how the first marriage foreshadows our ultimate marriage to Jesus Christ, our true Bridegroom.

The message of the entire Bible can be summed up in the story of 3 Trees: The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the Tree of Life, and the Tree of Calvary.

Is the Sabbath an unchanging moral law that God gave the human race at creation? Are we to observe the Sabbath on Saturday, or Sunday, or in some other way? Listen in as we focus on Christ - our true Sabbath, and how we find our rest in Him!

As we begin this sermon series on Beholding Christ In Genesis, we discover that Jesus is none other than our Creator God, not only involved in the first physical creation, but also in the new spiritual creation.

Paul gives counsel considering this very issue in this passage. He says they need to consider the present distress, the fact that the time has been shortened, the truth that marriage will bring new distractions, and the fact that marriage is permanent until your spouse dies.

To combat this spirit of pride and arrogance in the Church of Corinth, Paul compares their estimate of themselves with his estimate of himself and the other apostles. They considered themselves to be kings. He considers himself to be scum. What do you consider yourself to be?

Listen in as we seek to understand the Old Testament prophetic imagery and understand it in its New Testament fulfillment and application. Christ is truly a Great Prince of an Eternal Kingdom!!!
