The Compassion of Christ

This video lesson was shot on location on the Mount of Olives overlooking Jerusalem.

‘As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, ‘If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.” Luke 19:41-42

Jesus wept as he approached Jerusalem and saw the future of the Jews. He had compassion for those that rejected Him.

Jeroboam: Worship of Convenience

This video lesson was shot on location in Dan Nature Park in Israel.

God’s prescribed manner of worship was inconvenient. Today the character of worship in America is convenience. If I can’t find a parking space right in front of the church, I’ll probably go someplace else. That’s not God’s way of worship. Jeroboam lowered God’s standards. He directly disobeyed the rules God had set down for worship. There was a Biblical illiteracy in Israel just as there is today in America. Christ was God’s perfect sacrifice. God’s worship is centered on Jesus and his payment for our sins. God no longer sees our sins–only Christ’s sacrifice.

Crushed: The Price That Jesus Paid For Our Sins

This video lesson was shot on location in the village of Nazareth. Dr. Barnett uses the imagery of the olive tree and the olive press to illustrate Christ’s death on the cross. He bore the sins of the world as He was bruised, crushed, and pierced.

ALL SUFFICIENT GOD

ALL SUFFICIENT GOD

O lord of grace,

The world is before me this day,

And I am weak and fearful,

But I look to thee for strength;

If I venture forth along I stumble and fall,

But on the Beloved’s arms I am firm as the eternal hills;

If left to the treachery of my heart I shall shame thy name.

But if enlightened, guided, upheld by Thy Spirit,

I shall bring Thee glory.

Be Thou my arm to support, my strength to stand,

and my light to see, my feet to run,

my shield to protect, my sword to repel.

To enrich me will not diminish Thy fullness;

All Thy loving kindness is in Thy Son.

I bring Him to Thee in the arms of faith,

I urge His saving name as the One who died for me.

I plead His blood to pay my debts of wrong,

accept His worthiness for my unworthiness,

His sinlessness for my transgressions,

His purity for my uncleanness,

His sincerity for my guile,

His truth for my deceits,

His meekness for my pride,

His constancy for my backslidings,

His love for my enmity,

His fullness for my emptiness,

His faithfulness for my treachery,

His obedience for my lawlessness,

His glory for my shame,

His holy life for my unchaste ways,

His righteousness for my dead works,

His death for my life.
