True Repentance Series

Contributed by Norest Hoko on Sep 20, 2025

One day in my study I read and and pondered on the verse of Scripture, John 3:1-3 , Where a Pharisee Nicodemus went to Jesus to confirm that truly Jesus was sent from God.What surprised me was Jesus' reply that "no man unless he is born again will see the kingdom of God"

I’ve been reflecting on a powerful truth: two men can receive the same divine revelation, yet have completely different spiritual conditions. This is strikingly illustrated in the lives of two very different people: Peter, a simple fisherman, and Nicodemus, a highly educated teacher of the Jewish ...read more

Journey From Freedom To Slavery Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Mar 14, 2013

The point of this whole Bible miniseries is to have the opportunity to see how even the ancient major stories in the Bible are relevant to us and reveal God's intentions toward all of us.
