Dying to the Resurrection: Introduction William Ramey
The
resurrection from the dead is one of the
most fundamental and vital teaching in
the New Testament. The Scriptures
teach that because Jesus died and arose
from the dead, so too those who are His
people will be raised from death
to life with an imperishable spiritual
body at His coming when He returns to
inaugurate His kingdom. When the
last enemy (death) has finally been
abolished by Him, the redeemed will be
subsequently clothed with immortality
before the destruction of the old
heavens and earth and the creation of
the new. PDF
The Church Next Door Tony Stinson
"Who do you say that I am?" was Jesus'
searching question to His disciples.
After hearing Jesus teach concerning the
Kingdom and confirmed by the
demonstration of His miracles countless
times, Peter said, "You are the Christ,
the Son of the living God" (Matthew
16:16). What did Peter mean
scripturally by ascribing the title
"Christ" to Jesus and the term "Son"?
Mr. Tony Stinson gives a brief
scriptural answer to these questions
during a clear presentation of the
Gospel that Jesus
preached. Unfortunately, it is not
the Gospel that most are accustomed to
hearing on a Sunday morning.

Three
Days and Three Nights is an essay by
Gloria McElheney that investigates the
biblical evidence for the time period
that Jesus was actually in the grave.
Mrs. McElheney goes to great
length to demonstrate scripturally that Jesus was in the
grave for three days and three nights,
and not just part of it. In the
Foreword of the essay, she states the
purpose for writing it: "Perhaps it
would be edifying at the very beginning
to explain my purpose in such an
auspicious undertaking as a
clarification of the difficult biblical
texts relating to the time period
involved in Jesus' death. It all
began when a woman in the Bible study
that I led asked me why there was so
much confusion about how long the Lord
was actually dead, since He had clearly
stated that much like Jonah, He would be
dead for three days and three nights.
Given the usual time table beginning
with the crucifixion on "Good Friday"
and ending quite correctly with His
resurrection on the following Sunday,
this didn't compute." more
Kingdom Studies: Will You Be
Disqualified?
Iain MacMillan
In the biblical series, Will You Be
Disqualified?, a difficult but
serious question is addressed. Is
it possible for a redeemed individual to
be disqualified from part or their
entire inheritance? What
constitutes the inheritance? What
the Apostle Paul wrote to the
Corinthians, he believed that it was
possible for him to be disqualified
(1 Corinthians 9:24-27). Since it
was possible for Paul to be
disqualified, does this infer that we
too may be disqualified? We also
invite you to join us on Sunday mornings
at 11:30 AM Pacific Time to watch the
live broadcast available via Internet.

Kingdom Studies: Jesus Christ, Our
High Priest: Once For All
William Ramey
It was Israel's high
priest's official duty on the Day of Atonement to
enter twice into the earthly Holy of Holies, first
to offer a bull's blood as a combined sin-offering
for himself and the other priests (Leviticus 16:3,
6, 11-14), and then again to offer a goat's blood as
a sin-offering for the people (Leviticus 16:5, 7-9,
15, 20-22). Therefore, Israel's high priest
was required to enter the Holy Sanctuary twice on
the Day of Atonement.
However, after the
ascension of Jesus Christ and His appointment by God
as our High Priest, the author of Hebrews states
that He only entered the heavenly Holy of Holies
once. This discordance between the earthly
high priest's two-fold entrance and that of Jesus'
into the heavenly Holy Sanctuary should raise the
question, "Why did Jesus enter only once into the
Holy of Holies and not twice?
