The Request God Never Turns Down Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 4, 2013

We don't have to look at Jesus's promise "Seek and you shall find" like a disappointed kid at Christmas, but with the light of faith. There's at least one prayer we always get a "yes" to.

Thursday of 27th Week in Course Lumen Fidei Today’s Gospel is written for adults, but the problem is that even in old age we tend to read it like an eight-year-old waiting for Christmas. We read “Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to ...read more

Learning A Lot From Lot

Contributed by Greg Nance on Oct 26, 2013

Lot's life demonstrates where we go when we look at what we like instead of looking up for the Lord's guidance. Loving God is learned through life's challenges more than life's pleasures.

Lot’s name is mentioned only 4 times in the New Testament. Three times in Luke 17 and once in 2 Peter 2:7. In both places the scriptures are talking about God’s judgment. Here are the places and contexts: Luke 17: 26 And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in ...read more

Who's Not Ashamed?

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Aug 15, 2015

When most hear the phrase “not ashamed”, their minds think of the declaration by the Apostle Paul - “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ." In this study, we focus on two lesser known passages that speak of another person who has said they are “not ashamed”.

When most students of the New Testament hear the phrase “not ashamed”, their minds think of the famous pronouncement by the Apostle Paul - “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes; to the Jew first and also to ...read more

The Illustration Of Faith Series

Contributed by Greg Powell on Aug 19, 2020

As an example of salvation by faith and not works, Paul uses the Jews own patriarch Abraham against them!

INTRO: Let’s review...we have been talking about works versus faith. At the crux of the debate going on in the lives of the Galatian believers was the question of salvation through works or through faith in Christ alone. How are we truly justified? Justification is the gracious act of God by ...read more

Between Laughter And The Power Of Faith

Contributed by Bruce Lee on Aug 31, 2021

The gap between God's Word and his promises, and its fulfillment in your life, is always tied to your development in faith.

Between Laughter and the Power of Faith “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was ...read more

Jesus Is God And The Crowd Doesn't Like That Truth Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 7, 2025

Jesus has just declared that the Father and He are one, one in intention and one in mind and heart. The Jerusalem crowd that Jesus has been preaching to heard His words as blasphemy, and that offense carried the death penalty.

Friday of the Fifth Week in Lent 2025 Today’s Gospel reading from St. John continues the narrative we heard yesterday from an earlier chapter. You may recall that incident.
