    Shavuot: The Feast Of Weeks (Pentecost)

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 1, 2024
     | 700 views

    Pentecost foreshadows that during the church age, a new phase in God’s program has emerged: Jewish and Gentile believers are united in one body through the Holy Spirit -- and God uses them to labor in His harvest field.

    Shavuot: The Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) (Leviticus 23:15-23) 1. A Christian man and a Jewish man were debating which faith was best. The Jewish man argued, “We gave you the 10 Commandments.” The Christian responded, “Yes, but you can’t say we’ve kept them!” Many Christians are surprised to ...read more

    The Pharisees Confront Jesus: What Does It Mean To Be A Hypocrite? An Issue Of The Heart Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jul 10, 2023
     | 1,655 views

    The Pharisees today are often regarded as hypocrites, mean, nasty, people who killed Jesus, and it’s true that they plotted against Jesus. But in general these were not bad people. These were religious leaders trying to help the people live according to God’s ways.

    A lot of the scriptures that we look at, I feel like we get to understand another piece of the puzzle about who Jesus really is. It’s like we dive into a moment in history and we get to look over the shoulder of Jesus and see what he does, and why he does it, and we’re amazed. We want to live like ...read more

    Seeing Is Believing

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Oct 29, 2024
     | 495 views

    John's disciples ask Jesus if he is the Messiah. The answer is to look at what works Jesus did and make that determination. Do we see Jesus in today's world?

    Seeing is Believing Luke 7:18-23 Rabbi Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Luke 7:18 -23 The disciples of John also reported to him about all these things. 19 And after summoning two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are You the Coming One, or are we to look for another?” 20 When the ...read more

     | 525 views

    What does Jesus mean to you? This is a question that so many church folks cannot answer. When evangelizing you really need to be able to answer the question.

    Who is Jesus to you? Luke 9:18 – 27 Rabbi Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 18 And it happened that while He was praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Who do the people say that I am?” They answered and said, “John the Baptist, and others say Elijah; but others, ...read more

    Standing Firm In The Truth

     | 3,588 views

    The "mystery of lawlessness is already at work," but God had revealed the truth to His people, the truth in which we must "stand firm."

    God’s people in Thessalonica were confused. Someone they trusted had lied to them. Someone had told them that the day of Christ’s return had come and gone and that they had missed it. Christ’s return is just one thread, of course, in the total fabric of doctrine, but, like all the other threads, ...read more

    Church 101 (Acts 2:40-47) 1. Sometimes people do not like to think too much: A fellow stopped at a gas station and, after filling the tank on his car, he paid the bill and bought a soft drink.
