    Lord Of The Sabbath ( Matthew 12:1-14)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 23, 2025
     | 357 views

    In this chapter, Jesus teaches the true meaning of the “Sabbath” and how it is to bring glory to God, not to be used as a religious weapon. The hostility towards Jesus was starting to grow.

    Before we undergo any further study of this chapter, it would be helpful to understand the concept of the “Sabbath”. According to the fourth commandment (Exodus 20:8), the Sabbath was set aside as one day in seven to cease from labor and take a rest from all unnecessary activity. Exodus 31:15 ...read more

    Bout With Doubt

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 10, 2025
     | 68 views

    Doubt is not the same as unbelief; God invites honest questions and meets us in our struggles through His living Word and Spirit. King Josiah’s tender heart toward Scripture shows that even when visible results seem small, faithfulness matters because God speaks through His Word and through us.

    Introduction – When Doubt Knocks A young man knelt before his beloved, ring in hand. “Sweetheart, I love you so much. I want you to marry me. I don’t have a car like Johnny Green. I don’t own a yacht like Johnny Green. I don’t have a house as big as Johnny Green’s. I don’t have the money of ...read more

    Obedience to God’s word is our declaration of faith and the key to unlocking God's promises. Today, as part of our series on elevating our discipleship to the next level, I want to explore how we can receive God’s promises through immediate, complete, and joyful obedience.

    The Trinity, as revealed in Matthew 28:16-20, highlights the authority, mission, and presence of God in the work of salvation. We are called to embrace the mystery and unity of the Trinity as we live out our faith and share the love of God with the world.

    I have heard the word “anointed” used to describe a person. Some would say, “She is an anointed worship leader”, “He is an anointed preacher”. “That person is anointed to do this and that.” So, what does it really mean to be anointed?

    based on 287 ratings
     | 13,050 views

    Anger, hostility, and resentment when not directly dealt with, can unknowingly get buried deep inside. Being stuck in a relationship of abuse or neglect can cause you to suppress anger.

    Being stuck in a relationship of abuse or neglect can cause you to suppress anger. Suppressed anger, in time, will break out of your weak restraints and display itself in many self-destructive ways. It can turn into resentment or bitterness, gradually simmering to the boiling point-at which time ...read more

    The “little ones” Jesus refers to are frequently the scapegoats or victims in our society. They are the powerless, the weak, the hurting, the abused, the abandoned, the elderly or children, and they are often the easiest targets for our wrath.

    A successful man known for his generosity was driving his new car through a poor part of town. A boy tried to flag him down. The man didn’t want to get involved, so he pretended he didn’t see the child. As he slowed for a red traffic light, he heard a loud crash. Someone had thrown a ...read more

    The Galatians have made a wrong turn and were on a road that leads back to an eternal life of hopelessness. Paul has used rhetoric, satire, allegory and even abusive language to get their attention.
