Those who wanted to follow Christ were told to follow him and not even burry their dead. This sermon explores how Jesus called to deeper discipleship.

Judgment Of God Is Described Series

Contributed by Rob De Jongh on Nov 2, 2020

David and his men were exhausted when they came back to their encampment to find their women and children taken away captive. With no strength, how could they pursue?

His wives and children, and the families of all his soldiers had been taken captive. The specific phrase that links these two psalms is “Thou hast ...read more

A Heart Of Faith

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 22, 2022

While ten men only saw the problems, two men in that group were able to see God, and depended on the promises that He had made to them.

For today’s meditation we focus on Joshua 14:7, “I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I brought him word again as it was in my heart.” (ESV) Of late we are studying the life of Caleb, and the above mentioned verse are the ...read more

…all the crowd were trying to touch him, for power came out from him and healed all of them.

Easter For Us: A Unity Not Of Our Making

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024

Our Lord chose as disciples’ men who were radically different in temperament, personality and political philosophy. It was because of their glaring differences that their unity was so evident.

Opening illustration: I know, there are so many great verses from John’s remarkable story: “In the beginning was the Word….”, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,” “For God so loved the world…,” “In my house are many mansions…,” and more. Why, then, do I love this verse? Simply because in ...read more
