Got Milk? We hear it does a body good. But this week in Hebrews Chapter 5, the writer of Hebrews tells us we are going to need much more than that – if we’re going to have an impact and an influence on the culture. As we look at the degeneration of [...]
What if you were told you could enjoy the ultimate all-satisfying experience? And that you could have it if just two things were true. You would need to have a treasure of infinite value, and you would need to have a treasure of infinite duration. The best thing possible and never-ending enjoyment. [...]
We resume our study in the rich text of Hebrews, where we begin to study the great high priesthood of Christ. Now what does a priest do? Well he takes men to God. As God’s sovereign leading over Verse by Verse Church continues, we now move into a subject that is dealt [...]
