CHRIST IS KING;
THE CHURCH HIS BRIDE
“Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.”
Christ: The Final Passover Lamb
Jesus Christ is the promised Passover Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Today, we’re going to take a look at the Lord’s institution of the Passover, and see how God used this historical event to fulfill his covenant promise to Abraham. Then we’ll see how the Passover foreshadows the birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord, the Lamb of God who Conquers.
Christ: The Blessing to the nations
Jesus Christ is the promised seed who blesses the Nations. Today, we’re going to take a look at Genesis 22:1-19 in 3 parts in order to better understand how Jesus is the promised seed of Abraham, and what that means to us today.
The Citizen Christian
Many people have said that the book of Philippians is all about suffering. I’ve thought that, too, seeing a pattern of his declarations to rejoice even in the midst of trials. However, as I have continued to study it each week, I have realized that this is only an extension of what Paul had in mind. Paul’s letter to the Philippians isn’t only about rejoicing in suffering. It is about living. It is about living like a true Christian.
Press On!
There are many pressures in this world that would seek to discourage or dissuade a believer from continuing on in the faith. In Philippians 3:12-16 Paul teaches us 2 truths about the Christian life, so that we may set our minds on the goal of eternal life and resurrection in Christ, and thus live in such a way as to glorify Christ, no matter the opposition or the cost.
