In Search of the Perfect Kingdom
Ever since the fall of mankind in the Garden of Eden, humanity has been searching for the perfect kingdom. The Hebrew nation was no different – they too desired a government different than God had provided, and asked for a king so that they might be like all the other nations (1 Samuel 8:4-22). In his gospel, Matthew speaks to the Jews about their quest for the perfect kingdom and the restoration of “the Kingdom of Heaven.” The result is…

The Sanctuary – Part 2 – The Plan of Redemption in the NT Sanctuary
Two weeks ago, I presented some thoughts about the Mosaic sanctuary and what a spiritually perceptive Hebrew might have thought about the sanctuary rituals.

I See You
“Why did I say that? Why did I do that? I’m glad no one can read my mind!” We often try to ignore or hide the part of us that is dark, unkind and sinful. We struggle with the purpose of shame and guilt. Our busy lives keep us from sitting with our guilt to let it lead us to Jesus. Instead we brush it off, cover it up, and all the while our feelings of unworthiness build. It is…
