Message: “The Exact Imprint of His Nature” from Shawn Merithew

A message from the series “Sermons.” “What qualifications are required in the One who would save people from condemnation and give them eternal life?” As we move from verse 2 to verse 3, there is a change of subject from the Father to the Son, and this verse establishes that Christ is not only uniquely qualified to be the revealer of God, He is also uniquely qualified to be the mediator of the new covenant.

A message from the series “Sermons.” Through this text, we explore Peter’s tragic threefold denial of Christ. By this point in the narrative, Peter was a man consumed by his own pride.
