Given by Larry Neff

By far the biggest lesson to learn when keeping the Passover is: God loves all people in this world. God IS love. He is not willing that anyone should perish. When we examine ourselves before the Passover to determine if Christ is in us (2 Cor. 13:5), do we remember Christ died for the whole world; if we were Christ, would we...

Reason for the Passover Sacrifice of Christ

Given by Greg Sargent
March 23, 2024

John 3:16 tells us Christ died for sinners so they would not perish. The penalty of ceasing to exist for all eternity is the same for the so-called “white” lie and for the worst unrepentant sinner who will have ever lived.

Given by Greg Sargent
December 30, 2023

We find the word “mystery” over 20 times in the New Testament. Many of these mysteries are linked together. A closer look reveals the Mystery of Righteousness and the Mystery of Iniquity.
