Chapter 8 The Majesty of God
Today we cover "The Majesty of God", chapter 8 of J.I. Packer's "Knowing God". Packer emphasizes that to know God's majesty we must take two steps: We must realize that our God has unlimited power, wisdom, and presence, and we must compare Him to those things in our lives that we tend to think of as great. To our God, the nations as like a drop from a bucket and the earth's continents are like the dust on a scale!

Hebrews 11 17ff All these did not receive the promises
Просмотров 9Месяц назад
In the last half of Hebrews 11 our author points out that all the heroes of the faith from the Old Testament died without seeing God's promises fulfilled in their lifetimes. Yet they continued to walk by faith until the end of their lives. They are our examples in that we, too, must walk by faith knowing that God will, one day, fulfill all His promises.

Hebrews 9 15 28 Cleansed with Blood

A Final Will and Testament is not in force until the testator dies. In the same way, the New Covenant of Jeremiah 31:31ff did not come into force until the Christ died. When we consider the inauguration of the Mosaic Covenant, we see that blood was required, even for the purification of the Tent and its contents. If the blood of bulls and goats sufficed for the purification of the earthly Taber...
Hebrews 5 11 6 20 Full Commitment
Просмотров 44 месяца назад
In Hebrews 5:11-6:20 our author pauses in his exposition of how Melchizedek illustrates the priesthood of Jesus to warn us against complacency in our faith. Both unbelievers who have heard the good news and believers who have trusted the good news risk thinking, "I've already heard enough. I can coast the rest of the way home." If we think we've nothing else to learn, and that we have nothing l...

A Great High Priest according to the Order of Melchizedek!

Connecting Psalm 110:4 with Genesis 14:18-20, our author illustrates the superiority of Jesus' priesthood to the prie...

In this video we complete our discussion of Hebrews 4:1-13. This passage emphasizes the seriousness with which everyone, whether believer or unbeliever, must evaluate their faith in Christ.

Hebrews 1 and 2 present the superiority of Christ over all of God's creation, including the angels, and emphasize that if the Law of Moses was delivered by angels, then it should be obvious that the good news delivered by the Son Himself is even more important than the Law! Chapters 3 and 4 then draw out the implication that if it was critically important for the recipients of the Law not to ig...

Revelation Chapter 1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ
So encouraging!!! Thank you, Jeff.
Have you ever wondered why Jesus does not appear to be in Chapter 4 of the Book of Revelation? Let's look at Heb 1:3 "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being". Now, the emerald is the stone of the tribe of Judah in the breastpiece of the high priest. You will find this to be true in the KJV, not in the NIV or the NASB. However, the Jewish historical societies all agree that the emerald is the stone of the tribe of Judah. Notice that the rainbow encircles the throne. No one comes to the Father except throught the Son. Note that the rainbow is not mentioned in Chapter 5. However when the elder refers to the Lion of the tribe of Judah do you think he was looking at the rainbow? When John then looks he sees a Lamb looking as if it had been slain. Remember God the Father is represented in Chapter 4 as one sitting on the throne. The Holy Spirit is represented as seven lamps before the throne. Do you think that Jesus is represented by the rainbow encircling the throne?
