Romans 12:1-8

Jesus told His followers, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another” – but how exaclty do we do this? Join Dr. Harry Reeder next time on InPerspective as he begins a new series Loving One Another, exploring the diverse manifestations of love in the body of Christ.

Ephesians 4:7-10

Psalm 110 declares: The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” Jesus Christ has indeed ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty – a biblical truth so significant that we confess it in the Apostles' Creed. What does God's Word teach us about the Ascension and Exaltation of the Lord Jesus Christ?

Acts 1:1-12

How would you explain the Gospel to someone? Many Christians would correctly say that the Gospel is the sacrificial death, burial, and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ for the salvation of sinners – and yet this answer overlooks the essential element of His Ascension. Why does the Lord's Ascension into heaven matter for every believer and what are its benefits and blessings for God's people?

Acts 1:1-12

Christians in our day rightly emphasize the birth, life, Crucifixion, death, and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ – but strangely, we often overlook the importance of His Ascension. And yet Jesus thought it was so important that He told His followers, “It is to your advantage that I go away." What is the significance of the Lord’s Ascension into heaven for every Christian?

1 Corinthians 15:1-9

Some people claim that the teaching and moral example of Jesus is the only thing that really matters, not whether or not He actually rose from the dead – but the Apostle Paul wrote, “If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.” God's Word not only affirms that the Resurrection is historical and verifiable, but also essential to the Christian faith.

1 Corinthians 15:1-9

The Apostles’ Creed declares this great truth about the Lord Jesus Christ: “The third day He rose again from the dead.” But at first, the Apostles did not believe the reports of His Resurrection. They thought these accounts seemed like “nonsense and idle tales” – and today, the world is filled with people who think the same thing.

Jonah 4

Every preacher longs for people to respond to their ministry like Nineveh did – but not Jonah. Join Dr. Harry Reeder next time on InPerspective as he explains why Jonah was so angry about God’s mercy toward Ninevah – and examines God's gracious persuasion of the pouting prophet.

Ephesians 4:7-10

When Peter tried to defend the Lord from those sent to arrest Him, Jesus said, “Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?” All of us deserve the full measure of God’s wrath and judgment for our sin. But Jesus drank the bitter cup of God’s wrath in our place, and suffered the full punishment for the sins of His people, so that we could receive the gift of eternal life.

Ephesians 4:7-10

"He descended into hell" – this short phrase in the Apostles' Creed has generated much confusion and misunderstanding among Christians, even today. What does the Apostles Creed really mean by saying Jesus descended into hell? Where was Jesus in the three days from His death to His Resurrection? Stay tuned as we shine the light of God's Word upon this controversial confessional declaration.

Philippians 2:5-11

Many people believe that Christianity is all about Jesus' teachings and miraculous deeds, but Anglican bishop J.C. Ryle wrote, "In vain is Christ's life and miracles and preaching, if Christ had not at last died for us. We need not merely a teacher, but an atonement, and the death of a substitute." Our eternal hope rests upon this declaration in the Apostles' Creed: “He was crucified, dead, and buried.”
