Philippians 2:5-11
In one of his great hymns, Charles Wesley wrote, "Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?" We likewise should be similarly overwhelmed by the amazing love of our Lord Jesus Christ, in willingly going to the cross to suffer an agonizing death by crucifixion, and shedding His blood for the complete forgiveness of all our sins.
John 18:28-19:16
A judge sentences a guilty offender to a punishment that fits the crime – but Jesus allowed Himself to be sentenced to death to suffer the punishment for OUR offenses against an infinitely holy God. Even though He committed no wrongdoing, Jesus received the unjust sentence of death by crucifixion, in order that we who trust in Him might live forever.
Jonah 3
The story of Jonah is a story of God's grace, mercy, and loving persistence and pursuit. Join Dr. Harry Reeder next time on InPerspective as he examines God’s pardoning power toward the notoriously wicked city of Nineveh, as well as the disobedient prophet Jonah.
John 18:28-19:16
The religious leaders and people of Israel heard the teaching of Jesus and witnessed His miracles. And yet, when Pontius Pilate offered to release one prisoner to them, they chose the condemned robber and insurrectionist Barabbas instead of Jesus. Although these events took place centuries ago, every person today faces a similar choice: What will I do with Jesus Christ?
Matthew 1:18-25
The angel appeared to Joseph and proclaimed the fulfillment of Isaiah's Old Testament prophecy from centuries before: "Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel (which means, God with us)." God's glory, God's salvation, and indeed God Himself, have come to us in the miraculous conception, Virgin Birth, and Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Matthew 1:18-25
The Apostles' Creed asserts the biblical truth that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. But today, this teaching is denied in many pulpits, and rejected by many who may call themselves Christians. So, why exactly is the biblical doctrine of the miraculous Conception and Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ such an essential element of the Christian faith?
John 3:16
In the hymn “Praise Him! Praise Him!”, we sing “Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever; crown Him, crown Him, Prophet and Priest and King!” Different people filled the Old Testament offices of Prophet, Priest, and King with decidedly mixed results. But only Jesus Christ perfectly fulfills these three offices that were foretold and foreshadowed in the Old Testament.
John 3:16
In the Apostles' Creed we confess, "I believe in Jesus Christ." Yet it is possible to believe the wrong things about Him – and countless people do just that. Genuine faith in Jesus acknowledges Him as Lord and Christ – both truly God and truly man, God's anointed Messiah and the King of Kings. When Christians say, “I believe in Jesus Christ” – what exactly do we mean?
Jonah 1
God did not impotently throw up His hands in despair when Jonah tried to run away from His divine plan and command. Join Dr. Harry Reeder next time on InPerspective as he tells us about A Prodigal Prophet and a Pursuing God.
Acts 17:16-34
Many people in our day believe that the universe, life on planet earth, and human beings all came into being apart from a Divine Creation. They point to the Big Bang theory and evolution to explain the origins of our universe and the human race. In stark contrast, the very first words of the Bible set forth God's clear declaration on this issue: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
Acts 17:16-34
The Apostles' Creed begins with the statement, "I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth." Both this ancient confession of faith, as well as the very Word of God itself, begin with a clear and unambiguous declaration of God as the mighty and omnipotent creator of heaven and earth. Do you acknowledge the Lord as your sovereign, almighty Creator?
Romans 1:16-23
Who and what we worship will determine how we live, and how we live will ultimately reveal who and what we worship. God's Word reveals to us His nature and character, not through human imagination but by divine revelation. We learn that He is One God in Three Persons, He is our heavenly Father, He is Almighty, and He is holy – truths we affirm in the Apostles' Creed.
Romans 1:16-23
There is a striking ignorance in professing Christendom, about who God is – His essential nature, character, and attributes. Jesus' High Priestly Prayer in John 17 teaches us that eternal life is knowing the True and Living God as He has revealed Himself in Holy Scripture, and experiencing a personal relationship with Him through His Son Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:1-10
Saving faith in Jesus Christ is not the act of a single moment in life, but the acquisition of a completely new and different lifestyle for life. The Bible declares, “If anyone be in Christ he is a new creation,” and today we examine five blessings that accompany true saving faith: a New Heart, a New Record, a New Family, a New Life, and a New Home.
Jonah 1
God's people are to respond to His commandments and purposes in our lives with trust and obedience – but Jonah had to learn this the hard way. Join Dr. Harry Reeder next time on InPerspective as he begins a new series about Jonah: A Prodigal Prophet and a Pursuing God.
Ephesians 2:1-10
The Bible teaches that there is a faith that overcomes the world – but there is also a faith that is ultimately overcome BY the world. This is the difference between true saving faith and counterfeit, false faith. What are the five key distinctives of genuine saving faith in Jesus Christ?
1 Timothy 3:14-4:2
A high school graduate who wants to be a doctor cannot immediately begin a hospital residency. He must first go to college and start with the basics like Biology 101 and Anatomy 101. Well, Christians who want to advance to the deeper, more complex doctrines of the faith must first start with Christianity 101 – the basic, essential, foundational doctrines summarized in the Apostles' Creed.
1 Timothy 3:14-4:2
The Apostles’ Creed is a gift of God’s Providence to His Church containing essential foundations of the faith once and for all delivered to the saints. It has served as an instrument of discipleship, confession, and unity since the earliest days of Christianity. Join us today as we begin our new series examining The Apostles' Creed in Biblical Perspective.
Luke 2:22-40
The Holy Spirit had revealed to Simeon that he would see the promised Messiah before he died. When he finally saw the infant Jesus, he immediately recognized Him as the One he was eagerly awaiting and anticipating. He took Jesus up in his arms, rejoiced, and praised God. When you behold the Lord Jesus Christ, do you recognize Him as your Messiah, and praise God for the gift of His Son?
Luke 2:22-40
Did you get what you wanted for Christmas … or even better, something you really needed? Today we will meet a man named Simeon who got exactly what he wanted and needed for Christmas – the one thing he was eagerly awaiting and anticipating. His story reminds us that if you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you got exactly what YOU needed for Christmas as well.
