What Child is This?

What Child is This? (A Christmas Message) The bottom line is you have to trust in Immanuel—because ‘God is with us.’ And who is that? Not just a happy, Christmas-holiday, cheerful cry, but it is literally Christ, the Son of God, who gave all things for us.  … What child IS this? Who is this baby Jesus? It’s God with us. And that’s why this entire Bible is the book of Jesus. My prayer is that you’re trusting in this…

We are Witnesses

We are Witnesses Part 3 of the series, oBEdient We are witnesses—so we share what we’ve experienced. We have no other choice. We do it because that’s who we are.

20/20 Vision for LifeWay

The world’s falling apart, but God’s Word has always been true in this: if you will rely on the strength of God through the moments that you feel the most down, this is the time when you strengthen your tent curtains. You widen them. You don’t hold back; you strengthen the cords. You lengthen the stakes. Because God will then use you to inhabit the desolate cities — the broken lives of the world around us — and we will not stop doing that.

Fulfilled, Part 5: The Book of Immanuel — God With Us

“They were panicking. They were in fear and insecurity. They were looking for help and a rescuer. … God says, ‘I’m going to fulfill my promises, much as I did with Abraham, with Moses, and in the time of King David. We’re not done yet. Stand with God!’ And how is it going to happen? When will this rescue take place? Look for the sign. The sign is a virgin … that young woman will bear a child, and that…

Fulfilled, Part 3: Son of Man

If you don’t grasp [Jesus as the Son of Man], live that, and let it seep into your soul, you will miss the power of the fulfillment of God’s design, that the utter dominion and authority, and power and structure is completely and totally found in this Jesus. — Pastor Billy Arnold

Fulfilled, Part 2: The Suffering Servant Fulfilled

Christ, even while he was alive on this earth, taught those earliest disciples: “I am not a mistake out of thin air. I’m not just an appearance for this time being. God has been planning this all along, and Isaiah the Prophet spoke of it: I am the answer to not only the enemy at the gates of the Roman Empire, but I am here to answer the enemy at the gates of your soul. I am the fulfillment of…

Fulfilled, Part 1: The Anointed One Identified

As a preacher, [Jesus] is going to promise God’s presence. (This is from the perspective of Isaiah.) As the Messiah, he’s going to reinstate God’s righteousness in the world. And as a servant, he’s going to deal with the problem of sin. Now, Isaiah doesn’t understand how he’s going to do all of that yet, but he knows this is going to happen, that he’s got a promise — that’s what [Isaiah] is saying in this particular passage of scripture.…
