by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/5/2021) As we move into the heart of the book of Job, we are introduced to the characters in his story. Job himself is an honest and upright man, who nonetheless suffers from some pride. God is introduced to us as the great “Keeper of the Hedge,” whereas…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/1/2021) The Book of Job is the oldest written book of the Bible. According to historians, it was written even before Moses penned the Book of Genesis! And Job deals with the hard issues of life: suffering, the role of God, the role of Satan. As we begin…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 4/2/2023) We began to see in the last podcast that the New Covenant of the age of grace is “better” than the Old Covenant of the Law. This doesn’t mean that the Law itself was somehow flawed; rather, WE were flawed! The problem was with us, not with…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 4/2/2023) We have been studying the many “better” thing about Christ’s work from the Book of Hebrews. In Chapter 7, we saw that Christ’s high priesthood was a “better” high priesthood than the Levitical high priesthood. In Chapter 8, we see that the New Covenant of the age…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 3/26/2023) We continue today looking at how the high priesthood of Melchizedek was “better” than the Levitical priesthood. And of course, Christ’s High Priesthood was foreshadowed by Melchizedek! Join us as we conclude our look at this chapter, which teaches us that Christ’s High Priesthood was so much…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 3/26/2023) In Hebrews 7, we begin to get into the “deep waters” of this letter! We read of Melchizedek, who was a type of Christ, and find that the high priesthood of Melchizedek – like that of Christ – was a “better” high priesthood than the Levitical high…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 3/19/2023) In the last podcast, we began looking at the centerpiece of Isaiah’s prophecy, which is the Song of the Suffering Servant in Isa. 52 and 53. This is the last of the Servant Songs of Isaiah, and is revered by all as the climax of the book….
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 3/19/2023) In this last of the four “Servant Songs” of Isaiah, we focus squarely upon the “Suffering Servant.” We have already seen in this series that this is a direct reference to the Lord Jesus Christ! Join us today as we begin looking at the Suffering Servant and…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 3/12/23) As we have seen, the Son of God was the Steadfast Servant in Isa. 50. We learn today that the Father and the Son and The Holy Spirit are in complete agreement in the matter – all Three are in perfect harmony, and are perfectly steadfast in their…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 3/12/2023) As we continue looking at the Steadfast Servant in Isaiah’s Servant Songs, we see that not only was the Son steadfast in His commitment to the redemption of His people, but the Father was also steadfast! In fact, the entire Godhead was steadfast in the covenant of…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 3/12/2023) Yesterday we began looking at the Song of the Steadfast Servant in Isaiah. This “Steadfast Servant” is the Lord Jesus Christ, the “Suffering Servant” Who set His face like a flint toward Calvary. He was steadfast in His determination to complete the task of eternal redemption which…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 3/12/2023) As we continue looking at the Servant Songs of Isaiah, we come to the Song of the Steadfast Servant. We must remember that all of these “songs” point us to the Messiah, the Suffering Servant Who would deliver His people from their sins. In this song, we…
