A Clash of Empires

In first century Israel, Jesus was tortured and executed brutally by the Roman Empire. What was the reason? Did the Empire accomplish its goal in killing him?

Like Father, Like Son!

Yahweh, the God of the Old Testament is usually portrayed as an angry, vengeful god who somehow became benevolent in the New Testament with the arrival of his son. Is this an accurate depiction?

The Origin Question

Where does Jesus come from, and what does that mean for how we honor him? The Bible speaks of God as “from everlasting to everlasting,” and it also portrays Jesus as no ordinary man: the one placed at the head of God’s work, who then comes down from heaven into the world. But how do passages like “beginning,” “firstborn,” “sent,” and “Father” and “Son” fit together as one coherent story?

The Father and the Son

Jesus is not presented as an “ordinary” teacher who built authority by self-exaltation. He is the One sent from heaven, who receives honor from the Father and yet keeps directing worship back to God. In a world where empires trained loyalty through sacred titles and public “good news,” the Gospels show a different kind of lordship: the Son who obeys, serves, and teaches the world what true allegiance looks like. If even Jesus says, “the Father is greater than I,” what does that reveal about worship and the Kingdom of God?
