The Last Mourning

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Dec 25, 2025

We cannot imagine what Mary Magdalene must have felt that long ago Easter morning. But maybe we should try.

They have taken him away. They have taken my Lord away. Why did they have to do it? Wasn't it enough to kill him? Why did they have to steal his body? He isn't any threat to them any more, if he ever was, and neither are we. Why couldn't they just leave us alone to tend his grave? ...read more

Matthew 13: Are we just dust in the wind? 1. INTRODUCTION / BACKGROUND Matthew was the son of Alphaeus, and was a tax collector in Capernaum for the Roman government.

Mary Remembers

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Dec 25, 2025

We can't imagine what Mary thought or felt. But maybe we should try.

How could anyone believe? How could anyone understand? It was hard enough for us, who were there. Words are so small. How can I explain to anyone that God came to us - to me - in a way that not even Moses knew? Moses had to turn his head aside when God went by, so as not to be blinded. And ...read more

A New Era Begins In Israel Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Dec 25, 2025

The government of Israel was administered in the name and authority of God – Israel was a Theocracy and God was their king. His earthly representatives, from Moses to Samuel, had no authority of their own. Their job was to uphold and enforce the Laws of God before the people.

December 27, 2025 Samuel was unique. He was judge, prophet and priest and under his wise control the nation prospered. Eventually, however, he was forced to share the responsibilities of government and he chose his 2 sons – Joel and Abijah – to assist him. He appointed them judges and sent ...read more

Hope In Death (Job 17)

What do we do when life is so bad that death looks like hope?

Slander Or Comfort (Job 16)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Dec 24, 2025

Do we slander or comfort each other?

Is this little assembly like some churches, judgmental, filled with slander and gossip rather than comfort? Are we like that? Let’s look at Job 16. Is our church like Job’s small group of friends, where the suffering are accused and not comforted? Then Job spoke again: “I have heard all this ...read more
