The Spirit-Empowered Messiah Series

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 8, 2011

Jesus had no sin or impure motives that gave Satan legal access to His life. Satan could find nothing in Jesus - not even one square inch of territory - to which he could lay claim and thus gain access to Jesus’ heart. This is the reason why there was pro

Opening illustration: You might not see the literal ‘Red Sea’ miracle in today’s context but will surely see one parallel to it.

Debate Over The Sabbath Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 19, 2017

Jesus remained under attack from the Pharisees. Their demands for adherence to unbiblical standards clouded their vision and desire for Christ. Sadly these attitudes remain today. While we must adhere to doctrine, the Lord affords liberty through grace.

Surely we have experienced times when people criticized our efforts or challenged our motives. It seems as if everything we tried to accomplish was met with skepticism and ...read more

And 4% believe in God just sometimes. Another poll found that more than 68% of Americans identify as ...read more
