Satan’s Deceptive Religious Leader: The False Prophet Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Oct 16, 2023

Jesus, The Great Prophet (Luke 7:11-16) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 27, 2024

Jesus as the prophet like Moses (Deut. 18:18) is more important to Luke than most modern Christians. But Jesus as a prophet, sent by God, speaking God's words, is key to Luke-Acts. A narrative reading.

Beyond A Reasonable Doubt

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 19, 2023

At first the disciples doubted. But when faced with the evidence, they weighed it, tested it, and then acted upon it. Their verdict has stood the test of time. And the grounds on which they stood are the same grounds upon which we can stand.

Why do you suppose is it that, faced with the same data, some people interpret it one way and some people interpret it another?

Many of us work hard to remember things that matter to us. Birthdays, anniversaries, moments in time, people, pets, the list could go on and on. We do this because we know how fickle our memories can be. We often forget the things that matter to us. Not because we want to, not because we’re ...read more
