Christ in the Old Testament- 1 Samuel 1

Pastor Kachelmeier is the guest on Issues, Etc. talking about Christ in 1 Samuel chapter 1. In this passage we learn about how Christ fills the Old Testament scriptures with meaning. In a passage like this, there is no direct prophecy about the Coming Christ. There is no direct discourse in which God is speaking to Hannah. In fact, Hannah isn't even mentioned in the New Testament scriptures. Here we are given an image of God who desires to be in the midst of His afflicted people, hearing their prayers and answering their pleas for mercy. Hannah goes to the place where God is present for her pointing to the Incarnate God who comes to share in our afflictions by taking up our sorrows and being afflicted for us in order to bring us into His presence.   (click here to listen to the interview on Issues, Etc.)

Lecture 73- The Attributes of God- Similar and Dissimilar: Life

The Attributes of God- Similar and Dissimilar: Life

Rev. Brian L. Kachelmeier

For the purpose of studying and meditation upon the attributes of God, we will make a designation between those attributes which are similar and those that are dissimilar.  When we refer to “similar” attributes, we are talking about those attributes that are found in an imperfect state in man.  They are similar because man shares in a lesser degree that same attributes.  Yet, these attributes are attributed to God in a higher degree.  They are perfect and infinite.  For example, man has the attribute of knowledge.  However, human knowledge is limited.  God’s knowledge is perfect and absolute. Whereas we grow in knowledge, God does not grow in knowledge. On the other hand, when we refer to attributes that are “dissimilar,” we are talking about those attributes that are not found in man.  For example, man is not eternal.  Man is mortal.  There was a time when man did not exist.  “Dissimilar” attributes are those attributes in which man does not share in common with God. In this lecture, we begin our conversation about “similar” attributes with the attribute of life.

Lecture 72- Characteristics of the Word of God- Clarity Part 4

Characteristics of the Word of God- Clarity Part 4 (Click Here)

Rev. Brian L. Kachelmeier

The clarity of Scripture is not a magical characteristic.  Rather it is a characteristic that is essential to communicating the divine truth for the benefit of bringing knowledge to the reader and hearer.  The written word brings the revelation of divine things to people who do not know these things by nature.  The purpose of God’s word is to bestow faith on the hearer. Thus, the Apostle Paul says, “faith comes by hearing the word of Christ.”  The word of Christ brings faith in Christ, faith in who He is and what He has done.
