A quick thought from my time in the word. We have sinned like our fathers, We have gone astray, we have behaved wickedly. Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders; They did not remember Your abundant kindnesses, But rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.Psalm 106:6-7 NASB20 I see from this short [...]

High Priest of What?
Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus; - Hebrews 3:1 NASB20 Last time we took a very brief look at what the priests were called to do. It’s easy for us to take what we know from modern-day religion and read it [...]
High Priest
Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus; - Hebrews 3:1 NASB20 What is the role of a Priest, in general, and the High Priest in particular?

Broken and Poured Out
The first thing we did in this new year was to share communion with our church family. What a wonderful time. We worshiped out the old year and welcomed the new as the body of Christ. As I was preparing to share the Lord's Supper with the family, this is what the Lord brought to [...]
Where Your Glory Dwells
Two short lessons from Psalm 26:8 this morning. O LORD, I love the habitation of Your house And the place where Your glory dwells. - Psalm 26:8 NASB Lesson one: I love to dwell in You, Lord.

Confessions of a “Staunchly Pro-Life Evangelical”
I’ve been listening to Phil Vischer’s podcast, the Holy Post from its inception. I think I picked up on in around episode 8 and caught up that next week. I have only missed a few of them over the years. I love the fun banter and enjoy the theological discussions. I don’t agree with them [...]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdMFv1_6T_A Last week, as we looked at the woman with the issue of blood, we found that she spoke. We talked about our confession, our words last week. We looked at a bunch of scriptures that talked about the importance of our words. Tonight, I’m taking a dive into another aspect of her words, that [...]
Words Matter – Ben’s Healing School – S10
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCIWFjiUC-k Last week we focused on one thing from the story of the woman with the issue of blood. We looked at what ‘receive’ ment for her.

Take Hold – Healing School – S9
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljQU148Xhxw I’m calling tonight’s class - The anatomy of Faith. We’re going to look a woman’s encounter with Jesus–her encounter with Sozo. Then we’ll break it down in light of what we’ve learned about faith. Our encounter starts with a woman who had been living with a hemorrhage for twelve years. It’s a familiar story, [...]
