There were many holy days on the ancient Jewish calendar. These events, with their associated activities, were meant to focus the nation on service to God, and foreshadow the coming Messiah. In the New Testament, especially the book of Hebrews, the inspired writers show with great clarity how these days pointed to Jesus with special emphasis on one holiday in particular called the Day of Atonement.

Isaiah 53 has long been cherished by believers as one of the most descriptive predictions concerning the character of Christ’s earthly mission. The ancient prophet used some of the richest and most beautiful language, painting a portrait of the suffering which Jesus would eventually endure in order to accomplish His redemptive plan. Evangelist Nate Bibens helps to explain this illustrious passage in this presentation. The Suffering Servant MP3 Link
The apostle Paul told his son in the faith: “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses” (1 Timothy 6:12). Twice in this chapter a reference is made to “the good confession” which was spoken by Timothy and also “Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate” (vs. 13). Obviously, there is an important confession believers must make, for Paul also wrote that “with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:10). In this presentation from evangelist Billy Dickinson, the nature, purpose, and wording of this blessed confession is given a thorough investigation. The Good Confession by Billy Dickinson MP3 Link
