Man of sorrows what a name for the Son of God, who came ruined sinners to reclaim: Hallelujah, what a Savior! P. P. Bliss W orship Jesus, the man of sorrows Lord, when I am feeling beaten down, depressed, or suffering, I am reminded that You have also walked this road of sorrow before me. You also were rejected by people so You understand how I feel when I face these ostracizing comments. You also were looked down upon so when I feel patronized or diminished by others, You can relate to me. You also suffered greatly, being wounded to the point of being called a man of sorrows. Your humanity in suffering draws me close to You as One who shares in the struggles I also face. Isaiah 53:3-5 He was despised and rejected by mankind,      a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces      he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.   Surely he took up our pain      an...

When did He break His promise? When did His kindness fail? Never has, never will My God is still the same When did He lose His power? When did His mercy change? Never has, never will My God is still the same, yeah My God is still the same - Josh Bronleewe / Chris Rohman / Dustin Lolli In a post-modern world, philosophers and theologians attempt to define God in new ways based upon the belief that man has achieved a higher state of being in the 21st century. But God has always been the same, since the beginning of time, throughout Israel's history, in the middle ages of Europe, and today in the bustling tech-dependent world of 2025. Sometimes we read the Old Testament and compare the "God of the Old Testament" to how we understand Jesus in the New testament and we wonder if they are the same God? The attributes of God were present in the flood Noah's days, the calling of Abraham, the rescue of God's people from Egypt, the exile of Israel into captivity, and in J...

Is Jesus the Lord of your life? This question, asked often from the pulpit, may feel cliche or vague or maybe confrontational and powerful. What does it mean for Jesus to be our Lord (Adonai)? In the Old Testament, if a slave was freed, he could choose to remain with his master and would receive an awl in his ear as a symbol of his voluntary servitude. In the same way, disciples of Jesus choose to follow Him and not only believe in Him, but serve Him with all of their lives. Following Jesus means abiding by the first commandment: You shall have no other gods before me, which is shown by obedience out of love. With gratitude in our hearts for everything that God has given us and done for us, we submit to His rule in our lives, humbling sacrificing our lives to Him (Romans 12:1). And when we make Him the Lord of our lives, He promises blessing and invites us to receive the inheritance of a son of the King. W orship Our Lord God, You are my Lord. This life is no longer mine, but...
