Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, March 3, 2025 Just because something is “different” doesn’t necessarily mean it is better. But, when it comes to the Levitical priesthood, the Old Covenant, and the Law of Moses, the “different” ushered in by Jesus is definitely better! The book of Hebrews discusses this difference (and how it is better) in Hebrews 7:11-22. Join Hiram and Forest as they discuss how God is magnified in this section of Scripture.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, February 10, 2025 Few biblical figures are as enigmatic as Melchizedek. Only mentioned in a handful of verses in Genesis, Psalms, and Hebrews, Melchizedek’s role in the scheme of redemption is larger than one might expect. In Hebrews 7:1-10, the book of Hebrews reminds its readers that Jesus’ priesthood is superior to the Levitical priesthood because Melchizedek is greater than Abraham. How is this Melchizedek greater than Abraham, and what does that have to do with Jesus? Join Hiram and Forest as they explore how God is magnified in Hebrews 7:1-10.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, November 27, 2023 God swore by Himself making a promise to Abraham. Abraham believed God’s promise and waited patiently to receive the blessing. God has also sworn and promised not to change His mind regarding making His Son a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. Because it is impossible for God to lie, Christians have a sure and steadfast anchor for their soul.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, November 20, 2023 Christianity is not a static religion. It’s not a one-time thing. Christianity is about growing, and learning, and striving toward the upward call. Hebrews 6:1-12 reminds us of the importance of building on our spiritual foundation rather than majoring in the elementary principles. God is not unjust and will not overlook our work for Him, but we must make every effort to keep learning and growing.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, November 13, 2023 In Hebrews 5:1-14 we are reminded that no one chooses to become a high priest. They must be called by God. Jesus, like the Aaronic priesthood did not make Himself a high priest, but was made a high priest by His Father. Being a high priest after the order of Melchizedek, He is qualified to save all those who obey Him. Though the Hebrews author desired to say more about Melchizedek, he had to restrain himself because the Hebrews had become “dull of hearing.” In a section full of doctrinal and practical insight, join Hiram and Forest as the discuss how God is magnified in Hebrews 5:1-14.    We want to hear from you! * Email: mail@thelightnetwork.tv * Voicemail: 903-26-LIGHT (903-265-4448) Subscription Links  

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, October 9, 2023 The weekly Sabbath was not the final rest for God’s people. The promised land of Canaan was not the final rest for God’s people. God still speaks to us “today” so that we can enter His promised, eternal rest. We can’t fool God, but we can come to His throne for mercy and grace to help us in a time of need. Join Forest and Hiram as they discuss how God is magnified in Hebrews 4:1-16.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, September 25, 2023 To hold fast to our confession, Christians must consider Jesus. Because Jesus was faithful in God’s house as a Son, He has more glory than Moses and is worthy of our steadfast allegiance. Unlike the nation of Israel who perished because of sin and unbelief, we must make sure that we hold our original confidence firm to the end.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, September 18, 2023 We can’t help but be in awe when we consider what Jesus endured for us. The only way for God to bring many sons and daughters to glory was to make the founder of our salvation perfect through suffering. By coming in the flesh, dying on the cross, and rising from the dead, Jesus is uniquely qualified to be our savior, our propitiation, and our high priest.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, September 11, 2023 Hebrews 2:1-9 reminds Christians to pay close attention to what they’ve heard lest they drift away from it. We should be reminded of our great salvation. Though Jesus is greater than the angels, He made Himself lower than the angels for a little while in order to taste death for everyone.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, August 7, 2023 If Hebrews could be summarized in a sentence, it would be “Jesus is better.” He is better than the angels, better than Moses, and better than the Levitical priesthood. He offers a better sacrifice, mediates a better covenant, and provides a better kingdom. The superiority of the Son especially shines in Hebrews 1:1-14 where we see Jesus as the eternal, sovereign, and ruling begotten of God.  Join Forest and Hiram as they discuss how God is magnified in the first chapter of Hebrews.  We want to hear from you! * Email: mail@thelightnetwork.tv * Voicemail: 903-26-LIGHT (903-265-4448) Subscription Links

With all of these blessings in mind, Christians should strive to hold to the truth about God and His Son. Join Forest and Hiram as they discuss how God is magnified in 1 John 5:1-21.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, May 22, 2023 1 John 4 is almost completely about God’s love and the difference it makes in the life of a Christian. Though there are many false teachers in the world, He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world and we can know the spirit of truth from the spirit of error (1 John 4:1-6). We can know we know God when we love others because God is love (1 John 4:7-8). We can know God loves us because He sent His Son to be the Savior of the world (1 John 4:9-11). We can know we love God when we love each other (1 John 4:12-21).

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, May 8, 2023 There are few things a Christian will ever do that are more important than loving his brother or sister in Christ. In 1 John 3:11-24, we are reminded that the command to love one another is the message Christians have heard from the beginning. To love our brother is to follow the example of Jesus; to hate our brother is to follow the example of Cain. Not only do we get to enjoy the blessings of brotherhood when we love our brethren, but we also get to abide in God while He abides in us.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, April 10, 2023 “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” the old saying goes. This is definitely true spiritually. The identity of our spiritual father should be revealed in our actions. The Holy Spirit reminds us in 1 John 2:28-3:10 that Christians are children of God because of the love of God. Having been bought with the love of God, we can know who our spiritual father is by how we live.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, April 3, 2023 It’s been the last hour for nearly 2,000 years. The last dispensation of time is here. The only things to look forward to are judgment and eternity. Satan knows what he is doing and has saved some of his most intense deceptions for last.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, March 13, 2023 The world is at odds with God and His children. It has its own way of doing things. It prioritizes the flesh, pride, and what looks good. Those who have the love of the Father live differently. It matters because the world is passing away, but those who do the will of God never will.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, February 13, 2023 Obviously, the Bible does not encourage us to sin. But, the Bible has good news for us when we sin.   In 1 John 2:1-6, we are reminded that, as Christians, we have an advocate with God the Father who pleads our case and laid down His life for our sins. He ever lives to make intercession for us and if we know Him we will walk as He walked and keep God’s commandments. Join Hiram and Forest as they explore how God is magnified in 1 John 2:1-6.

Hosts: Forest Antemesaris and Hiram Kemp  |  Released Monday, February 6, 2023 What we believe about God impacts every area of our life. John reminds Christians that the message he received from Jesus Himself is that God is light and there is no darkness in Him at all. God cannot tolerate sin, yet we often fall short. In light of this, what is our hope? Should we embrace the darkness? Should we lie about our sins? Should we hide? Instead, because of Jesus, we can confess our sins and walk in the light.
