God Magnified: Seeing God’s Glory in Every Book

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, March 3, 2025 Just because something is “different” doesn’t necessarily mean it is better.

The book of Hebrews discusses this difference (and how […]

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, February 10, 2025 Few biblical figures are as enigmatic as Melchizedek.

In Hebrews 7:1-10, the book of Hebrews reminds its readers that Jesus’ […]

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, November 27, 2023 God swore by Himself making a promise to Abraham.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, November 13, 2023 In Hebrews 5:1-14 we are reminded that no one chooses to become a high priest. They must be called by God.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, October 9, 2023 The weekly Sabbath was not the final rest for God’s people.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, September 25, 2023 To hold fast to our confession, Christians must consider Jesus.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, September 18, 2023 We can’t help but be in awe when we consider what Jesus endured for us.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, August 7, 2023 If Hebrews could be summarized in a sentence, it would be “Jesus is better.” He is better than the angels, better than Moses, and better than the Levitical priesthood.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, April 3, 2023 It’s been the last hour for nearly 2,000 years. The last dispensation of time is here.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, March 13, 2023 The world is at odds with God and His children. It has its own way of doing things.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, March 6, 2023 Christians can walk in the light, abide in the light, and overcome Satan by loving each other.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, November 21, 2022 As elders are encouraged look to the Chief Shepherd as an example and everyone is told to clothe themselves with humility, Peter reinforces the blessings for Christians if they stay the course.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, November 7, 2022 Christians shouldn’t be surprised when they face fiery trials.
