Ezra chapter 2 is seventy verses worth of mostly unknown names and numbers. But is there more to see? Can we learn anything from what seems like one of the more mundane passages of the Bible? Listen in and see!

God is sovereign. On that, surely all Christians agree. But just how far does His sovereignty extend? Does He simply control big picture purposes, ensuring that all His big agendas for the world will be accomplished? Or does He also superintend all the minor details that make up the big picture? And how do we feel about how He operates in our lives? Listen in.

The people of Israel had been in exile from their homeland for 70 years. Perhaps they wondered if God had forgotten them. But the book of Ezra provies a wonderful reminder that God never forgets His people or His promises. Indeed, the book reminds us just how committed He is to restore all that His chosen ones have forfeited by their foolishness and sin. Listen in as we begin our studies in this marvelous little book.

God, we are told in Isaiah 40, holds the earth's waters in the palm of His hand. He consults no one when He makes His decisions. He merely blows on world leaders and they wither away. And He causes His believing people to mount up with wings like eagles. There is no one like our God, says Isaiah. So listen in and behold your incomparable God!

On his deathbed, the patriarch Jacob pronounced great and prophetic blessings over his sons and their descendants ... including the promise of kingship to the tribe of Judah. In this message we discover how that blessing was (and will be) remarkably fulfilled in Jesus, the Lion of the tribe of Judah!

Listen in as we begin series on the character and attributes of God as we find them in the book of Isaiah.

In the span of a few moments, Jesus has gone from saying, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" to now saying, "Father into Your hands I commit My spirit." What happened in between those two very different statements? How could Jesus' words toward His Father change so dramatically? And what do these final words from the cross teach us about the relationship between the heavenly Father and Son?

Jesus sixth saying from the cross - "It is Finished" - is surely one of the most memorable phrases in the Bible. But the question is: 'What is finished?' What did Jesus bring to completion as He bowed His head and gave up His Spirit at the place called the Skull? Listen in as we piece together some answers.

As Jesus draws nearer and nearer to His death, His sayings from the cross become simply brief, clipped utterances. In fact, His fifth saying is comprised of just one Greek word - two words in English: "I thirst" (KJV). Why is that? And what can we learn from this briefest of all Jesus' sayings from the cross? Listen and and find out.

Coming to the midpoint of Jesus' seven sayings from the cross, we ought to be a little startled. Did Jesus really believe Himself to have been forsaken by God? Would God really do such a thing? Listen in as we mull these questions and more.
