We all have tough life questions that we mull over. We all want to understand the world we live in. Here are two hard questions put to me by my congregation, along with two queries about things you will see in our worship services. Why do bad things happen to good people? At the end of time, do Israel or …
I was excited to find slips of paper waiting for me in the colorful little “Questions for PB” box in the foyer at church! To the best of my ability, I will endeavor to answer these queries. Look for the questions and answers over the next few months in this venue of the Pastor’s Corner. Here are two I will cover …
The Apostle Paul writes this in 2 Corinthians 1:8-10, “We were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead. He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and …
“5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. 6 He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. 7 Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of …
Revelation 5:9-12 says this, “9 And they *sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. 10 “You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth.” 11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice …
The word for my article this month is “Incarnation.” When Christians use the word “Incarnation,” we mean the fact that God became human. This awesome mystery of our Christian Faith is taught most vividly in John 1:14,17,18: “14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace …
“21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which …
I commend to you this devotional written by Rev. Alistair Begg. – Pastor Benner He began to cry out and say, ‘Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!’ And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, ‘Son of David, have mercy on me!’ And Jesus stopped and said, ‘Call him.’ Mark …
As Jesus is hanging on the Cross, there are two men who are being crucified on either side of Him. In Luke 23:39-42, we see the contrast between these two men and how they respond to Jesus. They are aware of the identity of Jesus, if only by the wording of the sign hung on the top of His cross …
If there is a word which aptly summarizes the meaning of Christmas, it is the word incarnation. While the word incarnation is not found in the Bible, its theme is central to the message of our Lord Jesus Christ’s coming into the world.
