Episodes in this Series
The Messiah, The Christ
The Messianic Secret
The name Jesus has been given to many men throughout history, but only one can bear the title of Christ. Who do you say that He is? In this message, Dr. Sproul revisits the significance of Peter’s confession at Caesarea-Philippi as he looks at “The Messianic Secret.”
Lord
Scripture says that every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. You may or may not be one who believes this. But one thing is for sure: our belief or unbelief does not change the fact that Jesus is Lord. In this message, Dr. Sproul teaches us the significance of the lordship of Jesus described for us in Scripture, and what it meant to early Christians who truly believed it.
Son of Man
Jesus asked Peter, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am? Peter’s answer reflected the confusion surrounding the identity of Jesus during that time. But centuries before Jesus asked Peter this question, Daniel had already given his confession. Reflecting on this in this message, Dr. Sproul explores the significance of the title “Son of Man.”
Logos
The opening of John’s gospel reveals a mystery that had eluded the ancient Greeks as they were searching for that which held all things together. They called it the Logos. What is the difference between the Logos of ancient Greeks, and the Logos of Scripture? In this message, Dr. Sproul explores the significance of “the Word” in the opening of John’s gospel.
Savior
Is there only one savior in the Bible? Not exactly. There are actually more… but perhaps not in the way you are thinking. Dr. Sproul clarifies the confusion in this message as he explores the various uses of the word “savior,” and what it is that Jesus ultimately saves sinners from.
Prophet
We read of a Prophet in the New Testament whose prophesies focused on Himself. What kind of prophet does this kind of prophesying? In this message, Dr. Sproul looks at the role of the prophet in the Bible, and the One who fulfilled it perfectly.
Priest
Old Testament priests served in the Temple worship of Israel, particularly in the sacrificial system necessary for the atonement of the sins of the people. Now that the Temple has been destroyed, do we still need a Priest? In this message, Dr. Sproul explores the office of priest as it is found in Scripture, and the One who ever lives to intercede for His people.
The Servant of the Lord (Pt01)
Because of His infinite greatness, Jesus far exceeds all that we can imagine, surpassing our expectations. But there are also times when He bypasses people’s expectations. This sort of thing happened to the people of Israel including Jesus’ own disciples when Jesus didn’t fulfill their expectations of what the Messiah was supposed to be. Dr. Sproul takes us back to the book of Isaiah to remind us of God’s portrait of the Messiah.
The Servant of the Lord (Pt02)
In Isaiah 53, we read of the suffering servant of the Lord. Who would do such things to the Lord’s servant? To what end were these terrible things done? What purpose did they serve? Dr. Sproul answers these questions as he explores Isaiah 53.
The Overseer
How do you suffer? The question is not ‘do you suffer’ or ‘what are you suffering from,’ but how do you suffer? Everyone suffers, but how we do it makes all the difference in the world. To understand that difference is to know the One who has suffered more than any. Teaching from First Peter chapter four, Dr. Sproul reminds us of our great Shepherd who watches over His flock.
