Jimmy Downing | 8:12 | Excerpt (from The Substitutionary Sacrifice: Jesus Paid It All) | Jesus Christ crushed the head of the serpent, yet Isaiah 53 states that God the Father crushed Christ—Christ was bruised so that the serpent's head would be bruised. Through the Savior bearing this condemnation for us and then rising again, we have received life and escaped the wrath to come. Glory to God!

Remembering God's Mercies: A Journey Through Psalm 77

March 14, 2024 • Jimmy Downing • Psalm 77

Jimmy Downing | Session #2 from the 2024 Men's Retreat in Hondo, Texas. Beloved, God has not forgotten to be gracious; He remains so, as I can attest from my recent experiences and from our focus on Psalm 77 today. In many Psalms, the psalmist starts by crying out to God in distress, possibly filled with doubts and in a dark place regarding God. But then, as in this Psalm, there's a shift, and the psalmist starts to recall how God had been gracious to the people of Israel and to him personally.
