by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 2/19/2023) As we began looking at the Song of the Successful Servant in the last message, we saw that the Messiah was coming to complete the work He was sent to do. Thankfully, His mission was successful! Join us today as we conclude this message, entitled the Song…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 2/19/2023) In this passage, which contains the second “Servant Song” of Isaiah, we see the Successful Servant. We understand this Suffering, Successful Servant to be the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, the Messiah of Israel! He is prophesied here to successfully complete the work that He is sent to…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 2/12/2023) In the last podcast episode, we began to look at the first of the Servant Songs of Isaiah, which I have entitled “The Song of the Chosen Servant.” These songs, of course, point us to the coming Messiah, the Suffering Servant of God. We began to see…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 2/12/2023) In the Book of Isaiah, there are four “Servant Songs.” These are passages that point us clearly to the coming Messiah, and describe certain aspects of His nature and work. Today’s message begins to deal with the first of these songs, which I am calling “The Song…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 2/12/23) In the last post, we began looking at the anchor of hope that we have in Christ. This anchor is both sure and steadfast because it is grounded upon the Solid Rock of the finished work of Jesus Christ! Join us today as we conclude this message…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 2/12/2023) Hebrews 6 begins with a stern warning about falling away, which we have already dealt with in this series on Hebrews. But the chapter ends with the sweetest confirmation of the eternal security of the child of God! Join us as we look at the anchor of…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 1/22/2023) As we began to see in the first half of this message, people sometimes misinterpret the passage in Heb. 6:4-6 as teaching that a child of God can “fall from grace,” i.e., lose their eternal salvation. A plain reading of the text does NOT teach this, and…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 1/22/2023) In the first few verses of Hebrews 6, there is a passage that has caused many children of God to fall victim to the heresy that a child of God can lose his eternal salvation. Hebrews 6:4-6 indicates that a child of God can get to point…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 1/22/2023) In the last post, we began to look at the topic of spiritual immaturity. The writer of Hebrews wanted to discuss some “deep” things about Christ, but felt like he was hindered in doing so by the fact that these Hebrew listeners were still too spiritually immature!…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 1/22/2023) Just when the writer of Hebrews is about to start a discourse on the Melchizedekan High-Priesthood of Christ, he interrupts his train of thought to bring up an important subject: these Hebrew listeners were too spiritually immature for him to go very deep into the mysteries of…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/10/2017) As we bring this series on the early life of David to a conclusion, we find ourselves saddened by the misery of sin that King Saul experienced at the end of his life. Because he sought advice from the witch of Endor instead of from God, God…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/10/2017) As we conclude this series on the early life of David, we come to one of the saddest episodes of Scripture: the death of King Saul. Saul started out with such promise, but ended up in sin’s misery. When he sought the advice of a witch instead…
