We Will Testify To Jesus No Matter What You Threaten

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 22, 2022

Jesus was the stone rejected by Sadducee and Pharisee alike, but His presence is the foundation stone for the Church He left behind to continue His mission.

Saturday of Easter Week It’s remarkable that the same Sanhedrin council who, six weeks earlier, had been able to condemn Jesus to death for blasphemy, and then proceed to bribe or blackmail the Roman procurator to execute Him seems powerless in our first reading. They have brought the apostles to ...read more

Powerful Pathways Series

The Sacred Chest (1 Chronicles 13)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Oct 14, 2025

How To Resolve Conflict

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 26, 2002

We all live with the consequences of conflict – the hurt and pain. Jesus gives us some real advice on how to properly deal with sin and conflict – and has some surprises about a very well known section of Scripture.

How much time do we spend in conflict? It started back with Cain & Abel. You remember the story – the two first brothers argued because God favored Abel’s sacrifice more than Cain’s. You know how the story ends – with the first murder – and it seems, brothers (and even brothers and sisters) have ...read more
