Two questions today: A listener wonders what his father is doing in Heaven and we discuss why blood is so central to Christianity. Why is it necessary for there to be blood poured out so that somebody might be forgiven?
Is God impressed by mighty warriors, amazing athletes, powerful people, or commanding leaders? It turns out that He is not impressed by those kinds of people at all, any more than you or I a are impressed by a larger than average flea, or a particularly powerful earthworm. What does impress God, and whom does He pay attention to?
Jesus has done so much for His people - living a perfect life without sin, teaching us the truths of the Father, and sacrificing His life on the cross for our sins, so that all who believe in Him by faith will be saved from wrath and given everlasting life in Heaven. But what is Jesus doing right now? Surprisingly, Jesus is still ministering and blessing His people, even after having done so much!
Hebrews 6 is a sobering chapter that ends on an amazing note, discussing the wonderful hope that is secure and steadfast and immovable in Heaven for all who are followers of Jesus. What is this hope, and what makes it so secure?
The first sermon in the history of the church was preached out of Joel chapter 2, which is our focus passage for the day. In this chapter, we find a wonderful - and troubling - description of the return of Jesus and the end times.
