So we have celebrated the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ this past weekend, and I hope it was a blessed time for you all. But I want you to know that Jesus was not raised just to conquer death, or to justify us before the Holy God, but that He was resurrected because He is our High Priest. (Hebrews 4:14)…..Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
In the Bible, what …
(Revelation 3:1-6)…..“And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, ‘These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God.3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast andrepent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon …
It is recorded in Matthew’s gospel, (Matthew 27:51-53)….. “And, behold, the veil of the sanctuary was torn in two from from top to the bottom; and the earth shook, and the rocks were split. And the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and came out of the tombs after His resurrection, they entered the holy city, and appeared unto many.”Think about that for a moment! There was an earthquake, rocks split open, tombs opened, and believers who had died walked …
It is that time of year where we have the privilege of celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Of course not everyone in the world will be celebrating the resurrection, not everybody has saving faith in Jesus Christ. There were many doubters at the time of the early church, and there are many doubters today who would deny it ever happened happened at all. So what evidence do we have that a resurrection actually happened?
18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, ‘These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass: 19 “I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first.20 Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.21 And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and …
(Mark 11:1-10)…..Now when they drew near Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples; 2 and He said to them, “Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it. 3 And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it,’ and immediately he will send it here.” 4 So they went their …

Abraham is a key figure in three of the world’s religions. He is the ancestor of the Jews (Hebrews) through his son Isaac. Muslims regard him as the ancestor of the Arabs through Ishmael. Christians regard him as their spiritual father through Christ (Galatians 3:29). What is important to Abraham and his linage are the promises God made to him. The land promise (Genesis 12:1,7) (Genesis 13:15-17). The promise of the nation (Genesis 12:2) (Genesis 13:16) (Genesis 17:6) (Genesis 18:18). The seed promise (Genesis 12:3) …

It is that time of year where we will be celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. A resurrection that occurred because Jesus first came to die in our place, in order that we might live forever with Him. It is His death that has brought about life, it is that death and life we celebrate when we proclaim with remembrance the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
The Lord’s Supper was an important activity in the weekly assemblies of the early believers(Matthew 26:26-28) (Luke 22:17-20) (Acts 2:42) (Acts 20:7)…
