John 3:16In the hymn “Praise Him! Praise Him!”, we sing “Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever; crown Him, crown Him, Prophet and Priest and King!” Different people filled the Old Testament offices of Prophet, Priest, and King with decidedly mixed results. But only Jesus Christ perfectly fulfills

John 3:16In the Apostles' Creed we confess, "I believe in Jesus Christ." Yet it is possible to believe the wrong things about Him – and countless people do just that. Genuine faith in Jesus acknowledges Him as Lord and Christ – both truly God and truly man, God's anointed Messiah and the King of Kin

Jonah 1God did not impotently throw up His hands in despair when Jonah tried to run away from His divine plan and command. Join Dr. Harry Reeder next time on InPerspective as he tells us about A Prodigal Prophet and a Pursuing God.

Acts 17:16-34Many people in our day believe that the universe, life on planet earth, and human beings all came into being apart from a Divine Creation. They point to the Big Bang theory and evolution to explain the origins of our universe and the human race. In stark contrast, the very first words o

Acts 17:16-34The Apostles' Creed begins with the statement, "I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth." Both this ancient confession of faith, as well as the very Word of God itself, begin with a clear and unambiguous declaration of God as the mighty and omnipotent creator of

Romans 1:16-23Who and what we worship will determine how we live, and how we live will ultimately reveal who and what we worship. God's Word reveals to us His nature and character, not through human imagination but by divine revelation. We learn that He is One God in Three Persons, He is our heavenl

Romans 1:16-23There is a striking ignorance in professing Christendom, about who God is – His essential nature, character, and attributes. Jesus' High Priestly Prayer in John 17 teaches us that eternal life is knowing the True and Living God as He has revealed Himself in Holy Scripture, and experien

Ephesians 2:1-10Saving faith in Jesus Christ is not the act of a single moment in life, but the acquisition of a completely new and different lifestyle for life. The Bible declares, “If anyone be in Christ he is a new creation,” and today we examine five blessings that accompany true saving faith: a

Jonah 1God's people are to respond to His commandments and purposes in our lives with trust and obedience – but Jonah had to learn this the hard way. Join Dr. Harry Reeder next time on InPerspective as he begins a new series about Jonah: A Prodigal Prophet and a Pursuing God.

Ephesians 2:1-10The Bible teaches that there is a faith that overcomes the world – but there is also a faith that is ultimately overcome BY the world. This is the difference between true saving faith and counterfeit, false faith. What are the five key distinctives of genuine saving faith in Jesus Ch

1 Timothy 3:14-4:2A high school graduate who wants to be a doctor cannot immediately begin a hospital residency. He must first go to college and start with the basics like Biology 101 and Anatomy 101. Well, Christians who want to advance to the deeper, more complex doctrines of the faith must first

1 Timothy 3:14-4:2The Apostles’ Creed is a gift of God’s Providence to His Church containing essential foundations of the faith once and for all delivered to the saints. It has served as an instrument of discipleship, confession, and unity since the earliest days of Christianity. Join us today as we

Luke 2:22-40The Holy Spirit had revealed to Simeon that he would see the promised Messiah before he died. When he finally saw the infant Jesus, he immediately recognized Him as the One he was eagerly awaiting and anticipating. He took Jesus up in his arms, rejoiced, and praised God. When you behold

Luke 2:22-40Did you get what you wanted for Christmas … or even better, something you really needed? Today we will meet a man named Simeon who got exactly what he wanted and needed for Christmas – the one thing he was eagerly awaiting and anticipating. His story reminds us that if you know Jesus Chr

Titus 2:14During Advent our attention is focused on the baby Jesus born in a humble stable in Bethlehem. Join Dr. Harry Reeder on InPerspective as he explains how we cannot truly understand the full meaning of Christ in the manger, apart from the significance of Christ on the cross.

Matthew 2Joseph fled to Egypt with Mary and Jesus to protect his family in obedience to God's Word, and to fulfill the prophecy of God's Word. Hosea 11:1 says, “When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son,” and Deuteronomy 4:20 says, “But the LORD has taken you and brought

In the Christmas carol "O Come, All Ye Faithful," we sing the refrain, "O Come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord." The shepherds responded to the angelic ministry of Christmas by being the first to come and adore the newborn Lord Jesus Christ, but they didn't stop there. They followed up their genui

Luke 2:8-21We have seen the angelic ministry of Christmas to Zechariah the father of John the Baptist, to the Virgin Mary, and to Joseph the earthly father of Jesus. But today we will see the Christmas ministry of the angels directed toward what would seem to be a most unlikely and unexpected audien

Matthew 1:18-25Men are sometimes challenged, in modern lingo, to “man up.” Well, Joseph certainly got the memo and shows us how it's done. In his faithful response to an angelic declaration, he modeled genuine Christian manhood by the way he fulfilled the biblical exhortation, “Be watchful, stand fi

Matthew 1:18-25The easy path and the right path almost always lead to different destinations. Joseph could have taken the easy way out, quietly divorced Mary when she was with child, and gone on with his life. But regardless of what it might cost him, Joseph did the right thing and followed the path

Titus 2:13The Christmas season makes it easy look back in excitement at the Lord's first coming. Join Dr. Harry Reeder on InPerspective as he exhorts us to be just as excited throughout the whole year about living in light of the blessed hope of the Lord's second coming.

Luke 1:26-38During the Advent season, we focus on the miracle of the Virgin Birth – but do we really consider the true miracle of the Virgin Conception? The Apostles' Creed asserts the biblical truth that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. What does God's Word

Luke 1:26-38Friends or relatives having a baby will send you a birth announcement so you can share in their joy. Today we will look at the most remarkable birth announcement in history – Gabriel's angelic declaration that the Virgin Mary would give birth to the Messiah and Savior of the world – Good

Luke 1:5-25Expectant parents can find it hard to choose a name for their baby – but how would you react if an angel appeared and told you what to name your child? This very thing happened to the old priest Zechariah, as the angel Gabriel announced the coming birth of his son. John the Baptist, who w
