As Pastor Eric continues through the verses of Psalm 22, he asks us to consider what it cost God for our salvation. He shows us the stress of the cross and the way people mocked Jesus with sneers and head wags. He also discusses the hypostatic union of Christ Jesus. Additional Scriptures: Rom 5:1-9; Acts 1:3,6-7; Isa 50:6, 49:7, 52:14; Matt 27:39-42, 2:13.

Pastor Eric opens with an excerpt from a book on the Holocaust to pave the way for this brief lesson on Christianity's history, from the 120 who met in the small upper room in the book of Acts to the Council of Nicaea and the early church fathers. Scriptures: Matt 28:19; Acts 2:1-5,14,22; 3:12-13; 4:4; 15 (the Jerusalem Council).

Pastor Eric addresses the difficult subject of marriage in this lesson on Malachi, focusing on Israel's blatant sin against God of intermarrying women from pagan nations. God saw their attitudes and wanted their obedience from the heart, yet they were desensitized to Him and were only outwardly obedient (of certain Laws) through rote tradition. Additional Scriptures: Hos 11:1; Ex 34:11-17; Deut 7:1-4; Josh 23:11-13; 1 Kings 11:9-13; 2 Cor 6:14-15; Isa 29:13.

Pastor Eric reveals the significance of the statement, "But I am a worm" from verse 6 through highlighting the hypostatic union. Additional Scriptures: Matt 27:27-31; Heb 1:1-3; Matt 26:47-53; John 8:58, 4:5-6; 1 John 3:5.
