    Assumption

     | 59 views

    Why did the Pharisees assume that Jesus did something wrong on the Sabbath? Healing was allowed. Do we make assumptions about people?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Nov 4, 2025
     | 64 views

    An echo through time has been Jesus telling us that we need to bring the Gospel message out to the world. The Hebrews of His time did not understand that it was their task to do. Jesus came to the Jews first and then to the Gentiles.

    The Time for Action is Now! Luke 12:54-59 Rabbi Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Luke 12:54 And He was also saying to the crowds, “Whenever you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it turns out. 55 “And whenever you feel a south wind blowing, you say, ‘It ...read more

     | 95 views

    Jesus tells us in Luke 12:22-34 to stop being so anxious about life's ups and downs. God takes care of us even when it is difficult to see.

Koplitz Luke 12:22 And He said to His disciples, “For this reason I tell you, do not worry about your life, as to what you are to eat; nor for your body, as to what you are to wear. 23 “For life is more than food, and the body is ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Sep 30, 2025
