Gibson The crucifixion of Jesus Christ is a powerful, powerful story—one that many of us have read and heard hundreds of times. But if we are not careful, we can allow ourselves become calloused to anything we're exposed to so frequently, even the death of the Son of God. Does the story of the cross still move you, or has it become just another story?

Gibson At this time when youngsters are heading back to school, they need to be reminded that just because they are young does not mean they cannot serve God faithfully. The Bible contains notable examples of young people who did not go along with the crowd, who stepped up and did extraordinary things, and the young of this generation can follow in their footsteps.

Gibson An Examination Of Realized Eschatology, Part 3 The apostle Paul has a wonderful, inspiring defense of the idea of a bodily resurrection in 1st Corinthians 15. It has served as an anchor to the faith of Christians for two millennia, giving them hope of new body in the eternal kingdom of God after this life. On the other hand, the doctrine of Realized Eschatology says not only that the resurrection is already past, as it took place only 40 year after the death of our Lord, but also that the resurrection is not a bodily resurrection at all, but a figurative resurrection of Christianity at the death of Judaism in AD 70. We invite you to look with us at what the Bible does, in fact, have to say in favor of a bodily resurrection, and draw faith, comfort, and strength from the promise that God gives us in His word.

Gibson An Examination Of Realized Eschatology, Part 2 The writers of the New Testament wrote about the end of the world and a final judgment. Most of us understand them to mean the literal destruction by God of His creation, but the doctrine of Realized Eschatology (or the AD 70 doctrine, as it is also known) teaches that the only judgment and destruction of the world the Bible ever covers is the judgment and collapse of the Jewish “world” at Jerusalem’s fall at the hands of Titus and the Roman army in AD 70. We examine the fallacies in Realized Eschatology’s view of the end of the world, and we look at what the New Testament (and the Old) really have to say about it.

Gibson An Examination Of Realized Eschatology, Part 1 Was the Romans’ destruction of Jerusalem the final event in Bible prophecy? The doctrine of Realized Eschatology (also known as the AD 70 doctrine) teaches that the second advent of Jesus Christ, the resurrection, and the final judgment that Jesus Himself and the writers of the New Testament talked about is not a yet future event, but rather has already taken place all the way back in AD 70, a mere 40 years after the crucifixion of the Lord. Look with us at the claims that this doctrine’s proponents make and at how the Bible proves those claims wrong.

They are vivid and invigorating. In contrast, Psalm 51 brings us low. It makes us uncomfortable. David shows us what sin does to a soul and how the only way to find relief is to repent and cast oneself completely on God’s mercy. An accompanying PowerPoint presentation is also available.

The Psalms are words that God has inspired and explicitly approved for His praise. If we struggle for words to praise God, the Psalms are a good place to start.

The psalmists recognized that not just any worship is acceptable to God. Look with us into the Psalms to see what they can tell us about how we ought to worship God.

We miss out on the great benefit the Psalms have to offer if we do not slow down and take a little time to visualize the pictures the psalmists paint and feel the experiences they relate. The Psalms demand our whole attention—that we read not only with our minds, but also with our hearts. An accompanying PowerPoint presentation is also available.
