Is Jesus the Predicted Messiah? (1 of 15)
Series: Deeper Life Conference

Luke 24:27
I will be giving a series of small segments of what I believe to be the essentials of a real Christian walk with the Lord and what the Christian faith is all about.

"He expounded unto them in all the scriptures" (Moses and the prophets, Genesis to Malachi) the things concerning himself." Can you imagine hearing explained from the lips of Jesus Himself what the Old Testament had to say about Him?

In that article I said there were three keys to the First Baptist Church and to the people of the First Baptist Church. Number one, they love Jesus. Number two, they love one another; and number three, they love lost people. That's it. That's what it's all about.
After the resurrection, Simon Peter had denied the Lord and was so ashame ...
