07 - Jesus' Redemptive Act

"Jesus paid it all. All to Him I owe"

Those words should ring true to every Christian that's ever existed. There is no evil, no sin, no shame, no sickness, and no poverty that wasn't taken away by Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. Every detail of Jesus' passion (suffering and death) was redemptive. This means that everything He went through during the hours of suffering was done to save you from something!

If there's freedom in Jesus' death...then there's incredible power in His resurrection from the dead! No believer should ever live an unchanged life, because this was the whole reason Jesus took His life back. He came back to life to give us newness of life!

Let's take a look at each detail of Jesus death and resurrection of the dead - and also what happened during the three days between.

01 - The Arrest and Betrayal of Jesus

 02 - Denied and Disowned, the Jewish Trials of Jesus

 03 - Jesus' First Trial Before Pilate

 04 - Shamed and Humiliated

 05 - By His Stripes

 06 - Crowned in the Curse of Sin

 07 - The Final Verdict

 08 - Words from the Cross

 09 - Where Did Jesus Go?

 10 - The Resurrection of Jesus

 11 - A Resurrection Rooted In History

 12 - Either You Believe in the Resurrection, or You're not Really Saved

 Are You Storm-Ready? Matthew 7:24-27 - " Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. " But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall . " This may be a surprise to some Christians, but Jesus never said that things were going to be easy after you decide to follow Him. Even after salvation, life is not going to be all sunshine and sandy beaches. Remember this, both the wise man and the foolish man faced the same storm! What they went through wasn't where they were different! This means that you don't have to be discouraged when you face the same troubl...

Why Are You Asking?

A Pointless Invasion? In 567 BC, the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar invaded Egypt. There was no easily understandable reason for this attack on the area around the Nile. Babylon had already crushed the Pharaoh's military might almost forty years earlier, so they weren’t a threat to the empire. Babylonian forces didn’t occupy Egypt after their invasion, so it wasn’t a land grab or expansion of Nebuchadnezzar’s rule. For all intents and purposes, the invasion didn’t seem to accomplish much and the Babylonian soldiers left Egypt shortly thereafter. So why did Nebuchadnezzar, a great military leader, waste his time on this? The answer is found in Jeremiah 43:9-11. Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes (a large city near the northern border of Egypt) , saying, “Take large stones in your hand, and hide them in the sight of the men of Judah, in the clay in the brick courtyard which is at the entrance to Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes; and say to them, ‘Thus says the L...

God's Many-Sided Grace

" Grace " - If there's a word that's become divisive in Christianity today, this is it. Why would a beautiful concept like the grace of God be such a source of contention among believers? Why is there so much disagreement about what God's grace is  and what it does  for us? I believe the answer is found in 1 Peter 4:10 - " As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace  of God. " Pay attention to Peter's description of grace; he says it is " manifold " - or " many-sided ". God's grace doesn't do just  one thing, it has many different sides to it. But when you listen to a lot of ministers, you sometimes only hear one of these sides being taught. This is because many preachers have a deep understanding of one  of the roles of grace...but also an ignorance of any other sides. Sadly, this kind of partial knowledge among spiritual leadership causes them to focus only on...
