You Must Listen to Jesus

In Matthew 17:1–23, the transfiguration of Jesus Christ displays His glory and also the suffering He would endure for our sins. If we follow Jesus we too can expect both suffering and glory.

The Free Offer of the Gospel

All people are dead in their sins, unless they accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior from their sins. Listen as Israel Quaresma preaches from Isaiah 55:1–2 on the universal gospel, the gracious gospel, and the satisfying gospel of Jesus Christ. “Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk…

The Genealogy of Jesus Christ

We may not be interested in another person’s genealogy. But we should be very interested in the genealogy of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

A Call to Repentance

In Joel 2:12-14, in light of the destruction that is coming upon Israel in the day of the Lord, the Lord calls his people to repent that they be not destroyed. For God is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relents over disaster. This message is the same for us today. Listen as Mr. Israel Quaresma preaches on the urgency, method,…

But God

In Ephesians 2:1-7 the apostle Paul takes us on a journey from the pit of hell and destruction to the heights of eternal life and the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. How can a once dead, hell-deserving wretch be made alive and raised to sit with Christ in the heavenly places as a beloved son or daughter? The true believer answers: “But God.” Listen as Mr. Brandt Barnard…

Desire: The Double-Edged Sword

James 3:13-18 contrasts the wisdom from above with the desires of a sinful heart. Listen as Mr. Ben Bessett describes evil desire, pure desire, and mixed desire. “But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.”
