FORSAKEN FOR US!
"My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" (Matthew 27:46). Jesus cried out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” so that we would never have to utter that phrase. Jesus willingly suffered being forsaken by God so that we would never be forsaken by God. Jesus...

“HOW TO HANDLE YOUR SIN” by Pastor Kevin DeYong
What do you do with your sin? You can explain it with science. You can minimize it with sophistication. You can swallow it up with self-talk. Or you can confess it to your Savior. There are the two radically different schools of thought when it comes to dealing with...
THE TRAP OF DOUBT by Dr. Paul Tripp
The Bible says that suffering should not take us by surprise - we live in a fallen world during restoration and redemption. But I've found in my years of counseling (and even in my own heart) that many Christians are unprepared for when suffering enters their door. In...

PATIENT IN TRIBULATION by Pastor Scott Henry
“Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer…” (Romans 12:12). Why is life filled with so many problems? The first reason is simple … sin! Sin is the reason for the tribulation and trials in our lives. Before Adam fell into sin there was no...
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE MOVIE, SON OF GOD? by Dr. R.C. Sproul Jr.
MAKING IMAGES Given that I haven’t seen it, one might think I hadn’t given it much thought. But I have. I could here take a stab at solving the immediate second commandment problem. Some argue that on its face, any movie that depicts Jesus is of necessity a violation...
