Jesus Christ is coming again to judge the living and the dead.

While the church awaits the blessed hope, the return of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, we should expect the Kingdom and gospel of Jesus Christ to triumph.

Because Jesus Christ is risen from the dead, Christians are people of hope. This hope is birthed by God's mercy, looks to a glorious future, strengthened by trials, and fueled by fellowship with the risen Christ.

The cross stands gets at the very center of biblical revelation. The final cry of Jesus on the cross in John's gospel "It is finished!" is the greatest cry of victory the world has ever known.

John the Baptist came as a forerunner to announce the Kingdom of Heaven and call for repentance in preparation for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The new covenant promised through Jesus Christ brings an inward renewal through the Holy Spirit whereby the law is written within. God pledges himself to his people, we are given a saving knowledge of the LORD and our sins are remembered no more.

In response to the disciples' request that Jesus teach them to pray, Jesus does just that. He teaches that His disciples ought to pray with persistence, fervency, and expectation that the Father will generously give the Holy Spirit, who comes fully loaded with all the spiritual and practical blessings Christians need.

Seven hundred before the Son of God came in the flesh, the prophet Isaiah prophesied about the Servant of the Lord who would be exalted and triumph, bringing salvation to the nations through suffering. This amazing prophecy of our Lord Jesus Christ was fulfilled and is being fulfilled as the gospel continues to go to the nations of the world.

But David was totally unique and the most important king. The Lord said, I have selected David as “a king for Myself”, “a man after My own heart”. Samuel anointed David, about a thousand years before Christ was born. It's one of the most important events in the Bible.

The book of Joshua presents to us a new era in redemptive history. Moses has died and Joshua is called to lead the next generation of Israelites into the promised land. Joshua is important in the overarching story arc of the bible for two reasons. First, it fulfills the God's land promise given to Abraham that his offspring would inhabit. Second, the book of Joshua points to the true and greater Joshua, Jesus Christ, and the ultimate rest He gives us by faith and a future "homeland", "better country" for all the redeemed.

The message is obedience and disobedience matters! You choose one or the other, and it affects your life - now, and your future and your eternity! As Joshua said, “Choose this day who you will serve!” Life with God is blessed and full. Life without God will end in disaster.

The ten commandments are to be a rule of life for the believer. God's moral las is not a means of acceptance with God, but a guide to please Him.

Human beings are not created autonomous - as a law unto themselves. We were created to live under God's rule, under His law.

The early life of Jesus is told to us as a very complex and dangerous story. But 4 times the story is interrupted to say “this happened to fulfill what was written by the prophets.”

The birth of our Lord Jesus Christ is the greatest wonder to ever take place on the earth. Heaven invaded earth and the Rescuer had was born to save - He is Christ the Lord.

Mary and Zechariah understood that the coming of Jesus would change everything! That understanding is what inspired their song and their joy.

The coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, in time and space is the most important event in human history. And the announcement of His birth was given to an incredibly ordinary virgin named Mary who would give birth to an extraordinary baby, the Lord Jesus Christ.

In the Bible God is telling us the real true story of history. And God advances His story in quite surprising and unexpected, even shocking ways! And it matters that we understand not only what God has done and is doing, but how God does things in this fallen world.

The story of the exodus is a story of God revealing himself to Moses as a covenant God who delivers His people through judgment and mercy.

Abraham matters, not only because he left his home by faith, or offered his son on Mount Moriah. He matters because the blessing, the favor of God upon you, comes through Abraham.

The flood is a story of destruction but God's purpose was to save his creation from the extreme wickedness that had taken over the earth. So God chose to save Noah, to rescue just enough of created life, that a new start was possible. God did that with Noah's family and 2 of every kind of animal.

Genesis 3 is one of the most important chapters in the Bible. Without it, we can't even begin to understand the darkness, conflict and sadness that's characterized human history, and has touched even our own lives. It tells us the world we live in is not the world as it was created by God in the beginning.

As image bearers of God, recreated in Christ, we are called to fill the earth, exercising the authority God has assigned to us to create, build, design- in other words to build a Christian culture.

When understanding the big picture of the Bible, we have to go to the beginning. God, the strong Creator made everything out of nothing by His mighty word. His creation was good - intentional, orderly, and full of life. We all see that things have gone terribly wrong. Sin entered the world and death through sin. But God is not done with His creation. He entered into space and time through His Son, the Word with a word of new creation in order to redeem and repair what has has been marred by sin.

Psalm 30 describes the heights and depths of life, along with the assurance of God's never-ending favor upon us.

Psalm 42 teaches us that the way Christians can deal successfully with discouragement is by preaching God's truth to their own souls.

Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life.” In John 11, Jesus demonstrated HIS ultimate power over a dead and decaying human body by raising Lazarus from the grave, after he'd been dead four days! And He promised, “whoever believes in Me will live even if he dies.” Jesus will not leave ONE of us in the grave, but will raise us up at the last day.
