    Bout With Doubt

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 10, 2025
     | 74 views

    Doubt is not the same as unbelief; God invites honest questions and meets us in our struggles through His living Word and Spirit. King Josiah’s tender heart toward Scripture shows that even when visible results seem small, faithfulness matters because God speaks through His Word and through us.

    Introduction – When Doubt Knocks A young man knelt before his beloved, ring in hand. “Sweetheart, I love you so much. I want you to marry me. I don’t have a car like Johnny Green. I don’t own a yacht like Johnny Green. I don’t have a house as big as Johnny Green’s. I don’t have the money of ...read more

    Lord Of The Sabbath ( Matthew 12:1-14)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 23, 2025
     | 370 views

    In this chapter, Jesus teaches the true meaning of the “Sabbath” and how it is to bring glory to God, not to be used as a religious weapon. The hostility towards Jesus was starting to grow.

    Before we undergo any further study of this chapter, it would be helpful to understand the concept of the “Sabbath”. According to the fourth commandment (Exodus 20:8), the Sabbath was set aside as one day in seven to cease from labor and take a rest from all unnecessary activity. Exodus 31:15 ...read more
