Summary: It is evident that we live in a world that has no consciousness of God. The burden of this message reveals the insensitivity of Israel towards God at the end of the Old Testament, and how we are becoming so in the last church age of history before Christ's Second Coming. May the Lord grant us a sensitivity for the things of God and His Son.

Summary: How often our greatest enemies are members of our family who profess to be Christians, yet a different Jesus and God of the Bible. The family tree of Jacob is carefully noted and how the relatives changed in their understanding of God over the years. God's people must ever keep the message of Christ clear even with relatives.

Summary: A furthering of the burden of the self-consciousness of the Christian. Ultimately, this consciousness is to be found in Christ.

Summary: An unfolding of the truth of growing consciousnesses of the life from childhood through adulthood and bringing forth a self-consciousness to be found in Christ. Also the conscience is dealt with in the light of the consciousness of self.

Summary: Introduction to the Summer Studies in Genesis

Summary: Taking the first nine verses of the book of Joshua and how God prepared him for the task ahead. We have prepared our students, as Moses prepared Joshua. But now Joshua must know God for himself and must know God's anointing and presence in the conquest of Canaan.

Summary: The careful background of the Hebrew word "Shekinah" and "Kabod" and their relationship to the Christian life. How the glory came to Moses and to Isaiah, and the response that is needed from the Christian as the glory of the Lord rests upon him.

Summary: The crucial need of the will of the Christian going beyond the choice of living, but the consistency of living for Christ. The failures in the Christian life tend to be the lack of tenacity in the moment by moment living for God.

Summary: The shadows and types in the Old Testament revealing the work of the Cross in providing communion with Christ, failures in the sanctified life, sweetness for the bitter circumstances of life, the fruit for food in time of battle, and the longings for the life when it seems there are no longings. The Cross/Christ is the true theology of the Christian.

Summary: The work of Christ on the cross is the most powerful work that has ever been wrought in history. Its infinite work is even known in a sinner's life before coming to Christ through prevenient grace. It then works throughout the believer's life, taking him deeper and deeper in the new humanity that Christ as the Second Man came to bring. From sins, to sin, and then the work upon self.

Summary: This message presents the cross in Christ's life and death, and how we are to observe His dying and death for our own lives as an example in bearing our appointed cross. Christ was obedient even to the death of the Cross, and our obedience must extend to even the submissiveness of our appointed cross. How does the cross come to us? Through our circumstances.

Summary: In a time when contemporary Christianity speaks of Christ's death and the symbol of the cross, it denounces what the cross meant in the death of Christ other than that Christ died for us. The Cross becomes the symbol of the rejection of the powers of the flesh and self, dying to both of them. It also reveals how ultimate obedience must be.

Summary: What spirit did Christ have in dying on the Cross? It was the meek and lowly spirit. We all must have Christ's "spirit of the cross." Otherwise our trials and testings will produce a stench that is not becoming to the Christian. We must have the precious fragrance of Christ.
