    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 17, 2025
     | 121 views

    Which laws should you follow, God's or Culture's? There are times that culture/society will create a law that violates God's law. Can you follow that Law?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on May 27, 2025
     | 204 views

    What does Luke 10:17-24 mean? It cannot be taken literally. Understanding the metaphors and culture of Jesus' day explains everything. Going out to spread the Gospel is a major part of discipleship. When one is doing this Christ is with the person through the Holy Spirit

    Serving the Lord Luke 10:17-24 Rabbi Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Luke 10:17 Now the seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name!” 18 And He said to them, “I watched Satan fall from heaven like lightning. 19 “Behold, I have given you authority to ...read more

     | 94 views

    The "trade secrets" of Christianity are not secrets rather they need to be shared!

    Don't Give Up

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Mar 25, 2025
     | 165 views

    A lesson from Luke 9:37-43a is to never give up doing something for God. Like the disciples we may need for training or education to accomplish the task. Evangelism is one of the most difficult things to do. However, with training it is not that bad. Afterall, it is for God

    Don’t give up Luke 9:37 – 43a Rabbi Rev. Dr. Michael H Koplitz Luke 9:37 On the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met Him. 38 And a man from the crowd shouted, saying, “Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, because he is my only son, 39 and a spirit seizes him and ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Mar 11, 2025
     | 243 views

    What does Jesus mean to you? This is a question that so many church folks cannot answer. When evangelizing you really need to be able to answer the question.

    Who is Jesus to you? Luke 9:18 – 27 Rabbi Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 18 And it happened that while He was praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Who do the people say that I am?” They answered and said, “John the Baptist, and others say Elijah; but others, ...read more
