Who Is Jesus? (Deity of Christ) Part 5: Who Can Forgive but God?
Luke 5:20-21 And when he saw their faith, he said, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.” And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies?

Who Is Jesus (Deity of Christ) Part 3: Seeking the the Real Jesus – My Lord, My God!
I cannot help but be blown away by the words of "doubting" Thomas in his confession of faith found in John 20:28 - “My Lord and my God!” Thomas didn't just express Jesus' position above him ("Lord" - κύριος - literally "supreme authority"), but he also called Jesus God (θεός - Deity/Supreme Divinity). The Apostle Paul … Continue reading Who Is Jesus (Deity of Christ) Part 3: Seeking the the Real Jesus – My Lord, My God!
Glorious Day, Yet Grieving…

We had an incredible day at First Baptist Church, Cave Springs today, including the addition of a new church member and a discussion with another couple who expressed their intent to join next week.
