This program is a rebroadcast from September 17, 2016. Today as we continue studying Isaiah 53, Chris highlights the Messiah’s role of a suffering servant.

Bethlehem was the subject of one …

We’re starting a two-part series this week entitled, “Pictures of Christ from the Psalms” which highlights different characteristics of the Messiah in the Psalms. Did you know there are over 100 quotations in the New Testament connecting the Psalms to Jesus? Chris will take us to Psalm 2 and show us …
