Even so, Come Lord Jesus! (2 of 3)
Sunday, March 2nd, 2008The Lord is contained in the heavens until the restoration of all things spoken of by the prophets. There is a certain ‘set-time’ for which He is waiting, and Art examines what those requirements are.

Birthing the Authentic
Sunday, March 2nd, 2008The birth of Jesus is the ultimate pattern of the advent of the authentic thing and it behooves us, therefore to understand the phenomenon of birth in all of its organic and painful suffering.
Has Jesus made you Jewish?
Saturday, March 1st, 2008If we miss the “Jewishness” of Jesus, we miss something crucial in our understanding of God and our testimony to both the Jew and the Gentile.
The Real or the Plastic?

What a Jew does with Jesus
Saturday, March 1st, 2008Art’s dramatic testimony from an intellectually sophisticated atheist to a believer in Jesus. A 1970’s message and probably his best testimony speaking (Some background “popping” noise in the first 25 minutes – not too detracting)
Who Really Killed Jesus?
Wednesday, February 20th, 2008So horrendous has been the cost to the Jewish community of the cry, ‘Christ-killer,’ that any references of the crucifixion of Jesus are shunned with horror. Now with the advent of Mel Gibson’s film, The Passion of the Christ, Jewish fears are again being stirred coming as it is in a season of heightened anti-Semitism throughout the world.

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008They wept for what they thought was irretrievable loss; He wept for their weeping—not understanding the sovereignty and purpose of God in the death of their brother.

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008I have to say that the most positive benefit of my Seminary experience was the discipline of being required to remain within a text. It made me realize that up until that time, I had conducted myself with a certain kind of charismatic and prophetic liberty, finding a scripture here and there to make my point, but something of a very remarkable kind happens when you confine yourself within a text, and don’t go unnecessarily outside of it to make your point, and let the Lord speak to us about that text.

Thursday, February 7th, 2008Paul is now going to reveal the mystery for which reason all things were created. This mystery has nothing to do with anything that we can recognize as being valid or relevant for the church. It has not even to do with the world or the benefits that men in the world will receive.
God Crucified
Thursday, February 7th, 2008We shall be the victims of such compromise as the intensity of the temptations increase enormously as we come deeper into the end of the age, and increasing to the degree to which we have not really appropriated the Cross of Jesus Christ!
At the Age of Twelve
Thursday, February 7th, 2008At the age of twelve, Jesus is giving us a lesson in the making of a son, and the episode reveals an insight into the definitive principles of sonship that are applicable for sons (and daughters) of God in every generation.
