Summary: Only deeper truth will bring insight and wisdom to the believer.

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 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: 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: 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: To be delivered from the guilt of sin is one thing, but to be delivered fro the present evil age is another. Both are accomplished through the cross of Christ.

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.
