    The Davidic Hope - Dr. Mark Gignilliat

    What does it mean for Christ, who is a part of the triune life of God, to make Himself known and present within the history of Israel? To speak about Jesus in the Old Testament raises all kinds of questions about His pre-existence. That's really a driving concern. Today we will discuss the ways in which the Old Testament patterns and figures for us what God will ultimately do in time in Christ. So in that sense we think about the Old Testament creating a sense of anticipation for what will come in time. From Jeremiah 23:5-6 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely, and do what is just and right in the land. In His days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which He will be called: The Lord Our Righteous Savior." >>Watch on YouTube

    The Power of Christ's Blood - Richard E. Simmons III

    Are you troubled with guilt? Can doing good things cleanse our hearts and give us the freedom we are searching for? No, the only way we can be forgiven is through the shed blood of Jesus for our sins. Some people hate the idea of the necessity to shed Christ's blood. But if you take out the theology of the cross, then Good Friday and the Easter message is meaningless. Looking in the book of Genesis and moving through the Old and New Testaments, God seems to make it quite clear. The heart of our faith is being forgiven of our sins. That's what gets us into heaven. But the forgiveness of our sins is only possible through the shed blood of Christ. Hebrews 9:14 assures us with this promise,"How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" >>Watch on YouTube

    Why Is Good Friday Good? - Richard E. Simmons III

    Why is Good Friday good? In this year's special message that Richard gives each year on Good Friday, he discusses Jesus' conversation with the two criminalsThe 3 hours of darkness that fell over the landThe moment that Jesus finally diedFrom Luke 23:39-43, we read: "One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!”  But the other responded, and rebuking him, said, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our crimes; but this Man has done nothing wrong.”  And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!” And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” Come to Jesus today. >>Watch on YouTube

    Laying Up Treasures in Heaven - Richard E. Simmons III

    What are you storing up for the future? In Bruce Wilkerson's book A Life God Rewards - Why Everything You Do Today Matters Forever, he tells of a week-long seminary class he taught on rewards in heaven. Every afternoon after the class, a special group of scholars met and debated every point. One day, a church historian from Romania asked the group, "What do the greats of church history such as Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Wesley, and Spurgeon all have in common?" When everyone hesitated, he told the answer. "They all earnestly believed in and hoped for eternal rewards." Wilkerson said that toward the end of the week, he noticed a shift. The room full of scholars were spending less time debating and more time responding personally to the material. One afternoon, an older participant pulled him aside and said, "I thought God brought me here to learn more about eternal rewards, but I was wrong. "He brought me here to change my heart. I'm leaving a changed professor." Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6:20,"But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal..." ⁠ >>Watch on YouTube

    The Motive of the Heart - Richard E. Simmons III

    How can we understand the motive of our hearts? What about the motives of others' hearts? The apostle Paul spoke this wisdom in 1 Corinthians 4:5,“Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.” >>Watch on YouTube

    The Humanity of God in Genesis - Dr. Mark Gignilliat

    How does God reveal Himself in the Old Testament to us? And where does His Son Jesus peer through? John 1:18 tells us, "No one has ever seen God; God the only Son, who is at the Father's side, He has made Him known." So Jesus, who is the Word, makes visible that which is not visible. We cannot see God in His essence. We would be consumed by that. But what is the Son's unique role? The Son's role is to mediate for us, the Father by the Spirit, so that we can see the unseeable. So that we can know and relate to that which appears to be unknowable. >>Watch on YouTube Dr. Mark Gignilliat is professor of divinity at Beeson Divinity School, where he teaches courses in Old Testament and Hebrew. Mark also serves as theologian in residence at St. Peter's Anglican Church in Birmingham. Dr. Gignilliat is married to Naomi, and they have four children.

    The Problem of Suffering and Evil Part 2 - Richard E. Simmons III

    How is the best way to respond to the storms of life when they come my way? And how can my response be pleasing to God? When most of us experience painful circumstances our response is, "How can I get this out of my life?" And, if you have something in your life that's causing you pain and suffering and you can get rid of it, then you should. But we're talking about things that we have no control over. I think the problem comes when we are only interested in how this is going to turn out. God is more concerned with how you and I are going to turn out. Jesus spoke these truths to the crowds in Matthew 7:24-27,“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine, and acts on them, will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of Mine, and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and its collapse was great.” >>Watch on YouTube

    The Problem of Evil and Suffering Part 1 - Richard E. Simmons III

    What questions do you have about evil? And most importantly, how does God address the problem of suffering and evil? We all will experience some degree of suffering in this lifetime. Some of you have probably already experienced some real suffering, because we're not immune to it. Even as believers, we are not immune to it. But it's important to know that there are no easy pat answers to this question of human suffering. We're not dealing with a problem to be solved. It's really more of a mystery that we need to understand.  So this message is all about gaining understanding. The Lord spoke this through Isaiah, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." - Isaiah 55:8-9 >>Watch on YouTube
