Many say that Romans 5:12-14 is one of the most controversial texts in the Bible. This is because there are many theological concepts and questions here that can be difficult to swallow—like the doctrine of original sin and the principle of representation. But the most important question raised by this text is rather simple and […]
Jesus said that if the world hated him, then it would hate those who follow him (John 15:18-21). It wasn’t long before the early church found this to be true. In Acts 7, we find Stephen’s response to the false accusations brought against him—that he had spoken against Moses and the temple. Yet, instead of […]
As we came to the conclusion of our Old Testament readings in The Daily Bible, we read the inspiring account of Nehemiah and his efforts to rebuild and reform Jerusalem. Yet, just as we have seen with the many other major characters in Scripture, Nehemiah’s life ultimately points us to the life of Jesus Christ and […]
Isaiah 66:1-2 paints a beautiful picture of our eternal, sovereign, omnipotent God – the creator of all things. Yet this text informs us that, ultimately, it is not tabernacles or temples made by human hands that God looks upon with favor, or looks to dwell within; rather it is “he who is humble and contrite in spirit and […]
No description of true friendship found in the Scriptures would be complete without mentioning the relationship that existed between David and Saul’s son, Johnathan. By most standards, they should have been the most bitter of enemies, since David was to be king instead of Johnathan, Saul’s heir to the throne. Yet in this beautiful picture of love […]
In this sermon Pastor Dave Leandre preaches through Judges chapter 7 – the story of Gideon’s miraculous victory over the Midianites. This epic victory is a beautiful illustration of a profound gospel truth that the Apostle Paul teaches us about in 2 Corinthians 4:5-10. Though we are weak, afflicted, and outnumbered, God mercifully has given us “the light […]
As we continue looking at the Mosaic Law, the Tabernacle, and all of the sacrifices prescribed therein, we come to the Day of Atonement. On this significant day, we are introduced to a particular element consisting of two goats, one of which is the “scapegoat.” In this sermon, Pastor Leandre examines the Day of Atonement […]
Jesus, in his dialogue with Nicodemus, reveals the purpose of this particular incident in the Israelites’ history as a preface to arguably the most well-known verse in all of Scripture: “Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him” […]
The story of David facing Goliath, slaying his “tens of thousands”, is arguably one of the most well-known in the entire Bible, both inside and outside of the church, especially when applied to our lives and facing our own giants. However, we are not the primary focus of this story; Jesus is the true and better […]
It has been said that Jesus pervades the Old Testament the way that salt pervades the ocean, and in the introduction to the book of Joshua, we once again see this truth come to light. Join Pastor Dave Leandre as he takes us through some of the comparisons between Joshua and Christ and learn how, through […]
Exodus 25:8 “And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst.” The Tabernacle was constructed to be the dwelling place of God among his people. But more than just an ornate, intricately designed structure, the Tabernacle finds its true fulfillment in Jesus Christ, the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us. […]
Everywhere you turn in the book of Exodus there is a new picture of the Lord Jesus and His work on our behalf. Looking at the rock at Horeb and Israel’s battle with Amalek is definitely no exception. Listen as Pastor Dave Leandre works through the 17th chapter of Exodus, teaching on the sufficient work of […]
In this sermon, Pastor Dave teaches from Exodus 16, demonstrating how Jesus is the true and better manna provided by God for our hungry souls. From the manna being a miraculous provision despite constant grumblings, to it being a foretaste of what was to come, this chapter in Exodus sets forth many types of Christ, and gives […]
For the Jew there is probably no one greater than Moses, their great deliverer, who, through a series of great miracles, led the Israelites out of Egypt. Yet as famous as Moses was, and is, nothing can compare to the one of whom Moses was but a type – Jesus Christ. Pastor Dave walks through […]
Jesus is the true and better Joseph who, at the right hand of the king, forgives those who betrayed and sold him and uses his new power to save them. In this sermon, Pastor Dave Leandre makes clear who we really are, and how we fit into, the story of Joseph, and demonstrates how Joseph’s […]
