» a study in the God-ness of Jesus ChristMost Christians agree that Jesus is amazing. But few Christians today realize just HOW amazing He truly is. For Jesus is more than just a great man, an exemplary prophet, a dazzling healer, and a truly remarkable man of love and kindness. He WAS and IS all those things. But He is something far greater. He WAS and IS God. His beginnings were not in the womb of His mother, Mary. No. He is from before that womb. In fact, according to the Scriptures it was Jesus that created all things. Christianity is in desperate need of a return to the almighty divinity of Jesus Christ. It is our desire that this message will exhort unto that end.

Leslie shares a powerful challenges about taking risks to follow Christ.

Scripture reveals God as Jehovah Jireh, the Provider. Yet we can look at our lives and question whether or not He still provides in the current age. In this discussion on spiritual life lessons, Eric Ludy and Nathan Johnson talk about the question "does God still provide for our needs today?"

» a study in the preeminence of Jesus ChristPreeminence is such a wonderful word. Especially when it is associated with the Person of Jesus Christ. A very simple definition of the word would be — holding first place. So often the modern church promotes the sub-ideas of Scripture into the first place position, that solely belongs to Jesus. And when this happens, it harms the Truth and it harms Christian life. In this message Eric labors to remove the fog bank that often surrounds the theology and doctrines of the Christian faith and zeroes in on what matters most of all. It shouldn’t be shocking to anybody that knows and has lived out true and vibrant Christianity that what matters most of all is Jesus. NOTE: Only part one of this four-part series is released in and through our Daily Thunder Podcast, watch or download the other three parts at ellerslie.com/daily.
