An Exposition of Hebrews 12:14-29, Dr. Overstreet explains the danger of chasing earthly pursuits without God, and the blessing of taking all of our goals to Jesus, the King of Zion. Listen to this message from Hebrews.
The Message of 1 Samuel ends the dark period of the judges and begins another troubling history of the people of God who, instead of following the Lord’s prophets, demand a king. God delivers their desire and Saul becomes a curse to the nation. Yet through these years God remains faithful to those who give themselves to Him. From Hannah to David, God blesses those who empty themselves for His glory, and this emptying becomes the model that Jesus fulfills as the seed of David and savior of the world. Listen to the message of 1 Samuel.
The Message of Ruth shines through the darkness of Judges by piercing the history of Israel with the special story of how two unwitting castaways become the fulcrum of God’s fulfillment to send a Savior. From death and paganism to the Moabite woman and her kinsman redeemer, this story is filled with subtle and sovereign providence. Listen to the message of Ruth.
The Message of Judges begins a dark period of history in the life of Israel. As they move into the land of promise, their unfaithfulness leads them down the Road to Destruction (not promise), and their failure to listen to the Word and serve the Lord makes for days of great idolatry and evil. From apostasy to oppression, the people need redemption, and when they have had enough, the Lord hears their cry, delivering them by a redeemer. Listen to the message of Judges.
The Message of Joshua continues the history of Israel as they inherit the land of promise. With Joshua now in the lead, the nation crosses Jordan, conquers nations, and sets up stones of commemoration to testify of the God’s salvation. God is the great Giver of Land and Fulfiller of all Promises, and from Jericho and Rahab to the tent of Achan, God is faithful to call his people through trial to the land of promised rest. Listen to the message of Joshua.
The Message of Deuteronomy both serves as the climax of all of the law given to Moses and as the beginning of the new promises of God for the generation of those who inherit the promises of God. The Lord has made a promise, and He will keep it: He has called Israel, his people, to redeem them from slavery, save them from their captives, from themselves, and from their sin. The Lord is holy, we are rebellious, and God is faithful to call his people through forgiveness to rest in Him. Listen to the message of Deuteronomy.
The Message of Numbers speaks to us today by describing a generation that spurns God and his promises, only to find that He is both sure in his judgments and compassionately calling all creation to repent and look to Him alone for salvation and deliverance from sin. The Lord is holy, we are rebellious, yet God is faithful to call a generation to himself who will seek Him and his righteousness. If you believe in Christ, or if you need to know what Jesus’ death means today, then you need this message. Listen to one message on the Book of Numbers.
The Message of Leviticus is clear. From the laws of the clean and unclean to the blood that washes away sin, Leviticus sets the standard for the promises that reach their climax at the cross of Christ. If you believe in Christ, or if you need to know what Jesus’ death means today, then you need this message. Listen to the Book of Leviticus.
What is the message of Exodus? If you want to hear the paradigm that sets up the redeptive plan for all of the promises that culminate in Christ, then you need to know the book of Exodus. Listen to the Book of Exodus.
