God is not just merciful, but his mercies are 'tender'. What does this mean? God is not some far removed, stoic, and unfeeling being, but the scripture reveals God as our heavenly Father who is deeply and profoundly moved in his emotions towards us. This reality should move us to love him more than ever, and give us great hope for revival.

The Old Testament story of Israel was still incomplete by the end of the Old Testament. The mission of Jesus is to bring that story to its rightful conclusion. To do so, he must step into the role of Israel and fulfill the responsibility of sonship. What does it mean to be called the 'Son' and what does that mean for the gospel?

What is God like? What is his heart, nature and disposition? Just before going giving himself to the cross, Jesus was asked if some Greeks could see him. Jesus gives a response as to what it means to truly see him, and through him to see the glory of God. Is God into titles or towels?

What did Jesus mean that if his enemies destroyed the temple of his body, he would raise it in three days? To grasp the fullness of what he meant, one needs to understand the history of the temple, and the expectation of the Jewish mind concerning the return of the Spirit, presence and glory of God to the temple once again! How is the coming of Jesus the fulfillment of the hope of nation?

What was the mission of Jesus? How did he accomplish is goals? How do we properly read the gospels. The story of Old Testament Israel was not fulfilled by the end of the Old Testament! Jesus first came to Israel and assumed their God-given mandate to be a witness to the nations. Once the gospels are read from this perspective, a much fuller grasp of their contents will rise.

Many verses from the prophet Isaiah are familiar around Christmas time. These verse take on more meaning when we understand the circumstances in which they were originally spoken. Listen to the advice Isaiah gives King Ahaz, and a fresh grasp of the promises brought to us at Christmas time will be received.

God created the heart with the capacity for great beauty, but sin has marred it. How can the heart be cleansed from all that defiles it? The gift of repentance works to cleanse and purify the heart so that it can receive the good seed of the Word of God, and bear great fruitfulness. Listen to learn how the process of repentance fashions and shapes the heart for great beauty.

Scripture abundantly uses the metaphor of marriage to describe our saving relationship with the Lord. But the western world doesn't always understand marriage through eastern eyes, and thus may miss a lot of significance of the full picture scripture teaches us. Enjoy hearing about our relationship with Jesus!

True worship is costly. There are many lessons to be gleaned from the golden altar of incense that stood before the veil that led to the Holy of Holies. Yet this is the path to revival that will see the fire fall from heaven in our day. What is the nature and price of this worship?
