This message is designed not as a technical theology lecture, but as a heart-level call to deeper devotion, richer prayer, and greater worship through a fuller vision of the glory, power, wisdom, and grace of Jesus Christ.

]]> A practical teaching on Philippians 2:5–11 and the debated doctrine of kenosis (“He made himself nothing”), this Christology lesson explains what Christ’s “emptying” does not mean (no loss of deity, no partial divinity, no inability to exercise divine power) and argues it means Christ’s humble, voluntary restraint—not that He could not, but that He would not independently exercise His divine privileges. Drawing on parallel texts (John 14; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1; 2 Corinthians 8:9; Isaiah 53; John 17; Mark 10:45), it highlights Christ’s self-imposed humiliation—adding true humanity for our salvation—while maintaining the hypostatic union (100% God, 100% man), clarifies that sonship is eternal and not kenosis, and recommends Gordon Fee’s Pauline Christology for further study.

]]> In this in-depth teaching, Pastor Mike Fabarez walks through the critical biblical doctrine of Christ’s humanity and explains how the early church defended the truth that Jesus is both fully God and fully man. Drawing from key passages like 2 John, Luke 2, John 4, Hebrews 4, and others, this session unpacks the reality of Christ’s physical body, human mind, emotions, and sinless perfection.

Pastor Mike also surveys the major Christological heresies of the first five centuries—Docetism, Ebionism, Arianism, Apollinarianism, Nestorianism, and Eutychianism—and shows how the church councils at Nicaea, Constantinople, Ephesus, and Chalcedon clarified and preserved orthodox doctrine.

This message is both a theological deep dive and a passionate call to remain grounded in the unchanging truth of Scripture. If you want a clear, historically informed understanding of the hypostatic union and why accurate Christology matters for your faith, this session is essential listening.

]]> Christ’s pre-incarnate life isn’t a theological footnote—it’s foundational. In this session, Pastor Mike defines key terms (preexistence, Christophany, theophany, epiphany) and walks through Jesus’ own claims of eternal deity (John 8, John 17, John 1, Revelation). He then tackles the “firstborn” passages by explaining prototokos in context (born first, heir, prototype) and shows why Scripture does not portray Christ as a created being. The message closes by exploring “the angel of the Lord” texts as possible pre-incarnate appearances of Christ, and briefly addresses common questions about Melchizedek—ending with recommended resources for sharpening Christology.
