This self-revelation of God as “I Am” is more than a theological concept; it sets the stage for understanding the divine nature of Jesus Christ as revealed in the Gospel of John. Throughout the book of John, Jesus declares Himself through a series of seven “I Am” statements, each of which reveals a different aspect of His divine identity and mission. These statements are not isolated claims; they are deeply connected to the self-sufficient and sovereign nature of God as first revealed to Moses. In these “I Am” declarations, Jesus not only identifies Himself with the God of ...

Who is Jesus Christ? This question elicits a lot of mystery and confusion. Some say Jesus was only a regular human—maybe a wise man or prophet. Others say he is a created being, like an angel. Still, others say Jesus is God but not human. While others say he is both fully God and fully human. Who exactly is Jesus? Scripture teaches that our eternal destiny depends on how we answer this question (1 John 4:2-3, Rom 10:9-10); therefore, it befits us to reflect on this question and answer it correctly. In Christology, we’ll consider what the Bible says about Jesus Christ, so that we may ...

The Abrahamic Covenant is one of the most foundational elements in the biblical narrative, forming the bedrock upon which the entire redemptive plan of God is built. It is a covenant that God made with Abraham, the patriarch of Israel, which not only shaped the history and identity of the Jewish people but also laid the groundwork for the coming of Jesus Christ, through whom the covenant finds its ultimate fulfillment. Understanding the Abrahamic Covenant and its completion in Christ is crucial for grasping the continuity and unity of the Bible, as well as the overarching story of God’s ...

What if there is a way to recapture spiritual momentum? What if we could tap into the apostles' longing to simply be in the presence of the resurrected Christ without getting entangled in date-setting or disagreements about the Millennium? Pastor Chris Davis points the way forward. Exploring the return of Jesus on the terms of the New Testament letters, this audio study looks at portraits of Jesus' appearing, rhythms necessary to maintain expectancy (including gathering, fasting, and resting), and the practical transformation such anticipation effects.

Christ is the central figure of Christianity. It follows that He is also the central figure of Christian Scripture. As such, all Scripture testifies of Him. This point is almost unanimously accepted among Evangelicals. The disagreements begin to appear when we discuss how Scripture testifies of Christ. This is particularly true concerning the Old Testament. In his book, Preaching Christ from the Old Testament, Pastor Brad Creech examines three popular approaches. They are the “First Testament Priority Approach”, the “Redemptive-Historical, Christocentric Approach”, and the “...

None but Christ by the Puritan John Wall is 33 chapters on Paul's statement "I determined to know nothing among you save Christ and Him crucified". In typical Puritan fashion, Wall exhausts his subject, that nothing but Christ matters and why that is so. It is a God-honoring, Christ-exalting audiobook that will help you fall more deeply in love with the Savior.

The journey from the known to the unknown can be terrifying. It takes a lot of courage to leave the relative comfort and safety of the familiar to embark on a voyage of discovery into enigmatic and potentially dangerous waters. But exploration is always worth the risk and nothing worth finding ever comes without some degree of peril. The book you hold in your hand does not purport to be a map to guide you easily through troubled waters nor does it claim to have all of the answers to assuage you as you question fundamental tenets of faith or religion.

“HE SPEAKS TO US THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST” There are “NOT GOD” voices, and then the Father’s voice. The Father uses many ways to speak to His children. Some believers have the paradigm that God speaks only by way of His Word or through preachers. Because the Father uses many ways to speak to His children, we should be careful not to miss Him because the mode of delivery might not fit our theology, previous experiences, or our lack of experiences. This is Volume 4 of the “He Speaks” series. Also, check out these books. Volume 1, He Speaks To Us Through The Holy Spirit ...

The last moments leading up to Jesus’ death were not left up to chance. God chose the path; he selected the nails. Our Lord planted the trio of crosses and painted the sign. And in those details are gifts Christ provided for us. The cross. The thorns. The nails. His seamless robe. The empty tomb. God didn’t have to give us all these things, you know. The only required act for our salvation was the shedding of blood, yet he did much more. So much more.

Some people are so radically changed once they meet Jesus that they become agents of Love. Once you drink of His living water you become a source of living water. One thirsty soul can become a river.

Remarkable Hope reveals a pattern of hope where individuals were surprised by Jesus in drastic ways after they placed their hope in him and were-at first-disappointed. Their stories show his work was rarely what they anticipated. As we observe Christ's faithful commitment to these Biblical characters who hoped in him, we are wowed by his unseen plan. We are comforted by his orchestration of circumstances and revived by his enduring presence. Remarkable Hope helps us gladly declare, like the apostle Paul, that "our hope does not disappoint us."

Some people might think that Easter is about family get-togethers and the Easter Bunny. It is not. Therefore, this text, while focusing primarily on the prophecies of the Prophet Isaiah and especially on those that explain why Jesus was crucified, also discusses prophecies written by other Old Testament prophets.
