SUNDAY CHOICE – PRAISE THE LORD – He took my place at Calvary – by Charles Schokman The concept of Jesus taking on the sins of the world is central to Christian theology, and is supported by scriptures likeJohn 1:29 (“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world”) and 1 John 2:2 (“He is the propitiation for our sins, and not forours only but also for the sins of the whole world”). Here’s a more detailed explanation: John 1:29: John the Baptist, upon seeing Jesus, declared, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”. This phrase identifies Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice, the one who atones for the sins of humanity. 1 John 2:2: This verse reinforces the idea that Jesus is the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the world, not just for the sins of believers, but for all of humanity.

The Nicean Creed is 1700 Year’s Old this Year…and it still matters! A historic moment for the church took place 1,700 years ago this year when, at the First Council of Nicaea in AD 325, the Nicene Creed was originally formulated and later expanded at the First Council of Constantinople in AD 381. It is one of the most important and foundational creeds in Christianity, used by many denominations as a declaration of faith.

The council is one of the most significant events in Church history because it established foundational Christian doctrines and set a precedent for resolving theological disputes through ecumenical councils. Councils were first established by the Apostles, as recorded in Acts 15. These gatherings of church leaders (bishops, theologians, and sometimes laypeople) were convened to address ...

Deep Darkness – By Lakshman Navaratne Exodus 10:21-26, “Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that darkness spreads over Egypt—darkness that can be felt.” 22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and total darkness covered all Egypt for three days. 23 No one could see anyone else or move about for three days. Yet all the Israelites had light in the places where they lived.” “I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD.” (Exodus 12:12) DEEP DARKNESS For an average human, when you hear the word darkness, it is the absence of daylight. Day dreaming on the Phrases given to Moses as the Beginning, the written word; before I received my Baptism of Pentecost, my logical mind, without my Lord operating in me, the written word was nothing but a story without any revelation of the Spirit. Today, as I read the logic ...
