The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Luke 9, in which Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up the mountain and is transfigured before them. Jesus is one of one and is determined to accomplish your salvation.
The Rev. Dr. Michael Nicholson continues his study of the book of Revelation in chapter 14. After showing Satan’s harrowing—but final and futile—attempts to usurp God and destroy God’s people, John presents the ultimate blessedness of those who worship God and follow the Lamb and the ultimate destruction of those who worship the beast.
The Rev. Dr. Michael Nicholson continues his class on Revelation with a look at chapter 13. Here, John describes two “beasts” who carry out the will of the dragon in opposing God, deceiving the world, and oppressing God’s people.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Genesis 45, in which Joseph forgives his sinful brothers. In our stories, it is we who need forgiving; Joseph points us to Jesus, the ultimate forgiver.
The Rev. Nick Lannon continues his class on the book of Acts with a study of chapter 11. Peter defends the inclusion of Gentiles in the church to the circumcision party in Jerusalem (v. 1-18), a new church erupts in Antioch (v. 19-24), and Paul and Barnabas catechize that new Gentile congregation, finally taking an offering from them back to the brothers in Jerusalem (v. 25-30).
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on 1 Corinthians 15, in which Paul promises that because Christ has been raised from the dead, you will be raised, too.
The Rev. Nick Lannon continues his study of the book of Acts with a look at most of chapter 10. Peter visits the home of Cornelius (a Gentile), preaches the Gospel to him, and baptizes him along with his household.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Isaiah 6 (in which the prophet sees the throne room of God) and Luke 5 (in which Peter asks Jesus to depart from him). The law of God makes us want to run away, but this same God acts—in Christ—to save.
The Rev. Dr. Michael Nicholson continues his Bible study on the book of Revelation with a close look at chapter 12, including three major symbolic figures: a woman, a child, and a dragon.
The Rev. Nick Lannon continues his Bible study of the book of Acts with a look at the end of chapter 9 and the beginning of chapter 10. Peter heals Aeneas (9:32-35) and raises Tabitha from the dead (9:36-43). Then, the centurion Cornelius receives a heavenly visitor (10:1-8) and Peter is rocked by a vision (10:9-13).
