Lesson From Adam And Eve

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jun 12, 2024

Adam could have repented and come back to God. God gave him a chance to repent. But instead of admitting the fault he blamed his wife (Genes 3:12). If Adam had admitted the fault of disobedience to God, God would have forgiven him.

God could have stopped Eve from sinning. Do you think God did not know when satan was entering the garden of Eden? Was God unaware of satan tempting His precious child Eve? The closing of Genesis 3 speaks about God keeping Cheru-bims to watch over the garden with a flaming sword (Genesis 3:24). ...read more

Contributed by Gordon Weatherby on Apr 26, 2021

This message deals with John 6 and the feeding of the 5,000. Jesus was trying to get them to look beyond physical bread to the Bread Of Life. This was the climax of Jesus' popularity, and the point when many turned against him.

The Way Of The Cross

Contributed by Dawn Duryea on Mar 4, 2024

In today’s Gospel reading, Peter responds to Jesus’ announcement that the Messiah will have to suffer and die by denying the cross. Peter is in essence denying the truth of this teaching – that the Messiah must suffer and by extension, his disciples.

Last week we heard about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness right after his Baptism. That’s the way it feels sometimes – you just make a decision and then things happen that immediately bring your decision into question. This wilderness, of course, is metaphorical and now we find ourselves in ...read more
