In Christ, from Thessalonians

In this broadcast titled “In Christ from Thessalonians,” we explore the profound connection believers have with Christ, focusing on key “In Christ” statements found in 1 and 2 Thessalonians. Join us as we discuss our union with Christ, the resurrection of the dead in Christ, and the call to live for the glory of Christ. We consider the context of Paul’s letters to a largely Gentile church undergoing persecution, his teachings on the return of Christ, and how the church should live in anticipation of His coming. This is a message of comfort and hope, reminding us to labor faithfully while we wait for His return.

Suffering With Christ

While Jesus’ life was one of difficulty, His final week leading up to the crucifixion was one of extreme and intense suffering. He would be betrayed, arrested, forsaken, lied about, tried, beaten, scourged, and then crucified. And yet despite knowing all of this, He rode into Jerusalem for the joy set before Him.

As we continue our series on the reality of afflictions, we look to the sufferings of Christ, and find examples for us in our own suffering.

Then Comes The End

Continuing our recent them of eschatology (the study of end times), Ben Winslett shares passages describing the final day, the day in which Jesus returns. In the day of the Lord, there will be a bodily resurrection, the kingdom of Heaven is delivered up, the wicked are judged, the world is destroyed, and God’s children live with Him forever more.

The Nonnegotiable Truth of the Resurrection

Last week’s edition of Words of Grace focused on what a church considers nonnegotiable, as far as theological concepts are concerned. We used what we commonly referred to as the Articles of Faith to demonstrate this. In short, there are just some concepts that we ought to affirm. Things that  we believe, that we will not entertain any objection to. Today, we consider one of the most crucial nonnegotiable concepts which exists: The resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

If Risen…then Seek!

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Colossians 3:1

Risen with Christ. What a thought! Certainly our minds go to the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ and our victory over death through His triumph. Yet at the same time, as God quickens sinners, they are vitally risen with Christ. Over the next two programs, we’ll consider Paul’s admonition to the church at Colosse to seek those things which are above, being risen with Christ.

Face Set Like A Flint

“For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.” Isaiah 50:7

On Palm Sunday 2020, we considered the mindset of Christ as He went into Jerusalem, knowing all He would suffer for the sins of His people. And yet He went, He drank of the bitter cup, He finished the work. Continue reading “Face Set Like A Flint”
