The Ragtown Pulpit

We highlight the theological importance of the Incarnation, by pointing out that, without it, Christ could not be the Author of Salvation; the Brother who welcomes us; the Model of Faith; the Deliverer from death; or the merciful and faithful High Priest.

What does it mean that we are made in God's image? What is a steward? What happens when nations reject Christ's rule? Is there a plan for bringing them back? All this and more in today's sermon.

The first warning of several to come in Hebrews. A sobering but encouraging call to press on.

We got about halfway through Chapter One, looking at the term Elohim, then several terms for the Dead and the Realm of the Dead; and territorial spirits. This stuff opened a can of worms in my own thinking.

Sermon from The Ragtown Pulpit

Moses is about to die, but God will not leave the nation without spiritual witness-leaders.

Something more was needed and was provided in the fulness of time.
