    If you make any effort to live for God, you will face opposition. If you’ve never run into Satan, it’s because you and he are traveling parallel in the same direction.

    In the early part of Acts, we are introduced to 5 brief biographies that I want to introduce to you now. If you enjoy reading a biography, then you’ll benefit from these short bios. Think of these five men as the Mount Rushmore of the early chapters of Acts, if you will. A week ago we saw the ...read more

    Does God Exist? - A Look At Atheism, Agnosticism, And Theism

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jan 31, 2024
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,100 views

    The question 'Does God exist?' has only two possible direct answers: Either 'yes,' which is theism, and 'no,' which is atheism.

    The agnostic responds with 'I don't know' and 'no one knows,' which is actually an affirmative answer that has never been established, so the question is meaningless because they are not direct answers. (See ...read more

    The Law of Moses was powerful to punish but powerless to forgive and redeem. The carnal mind leads to fulfilling the desires of the carnality. Spiritual minds long to fulfill the desires of spirituality. The mind directs the life of a person.

    Romans 08:01-17 No Condemnations Romans 8:1-4 Freed from Sin and Death The Law of Moses was powerful to punish but powerless to forgive and redeem. God sent his son Jesus Christ to have the nature of the sinful man but without sin. However, he became the sin offering through his sacrifice. Jesus ...read more

    God Manages His Vineyard Well

    Jesus reworks the old parable of the vineyard to fit the new barbarism. He directs the moral at the human vineyard managers, the religious and secular men who treat the Law and Temple as their personal fiefdom.

    Friday of the Second Week of Lent 2025 St. Matthew’s Gospel is moving toward its climax, which is called Holy Week. Frequently we see Jesus crossing swords verbally with his adversaries. Jesus was an out-of-towner, considered a religious zealot and “hick” by the secular and religious authorities ...read more

    Speaking to those who are ’sure’ in their faith (not mature, but sure), Paul directs our attention to the Israelites in the wilderness who thought the same thing. We are invited to examine our faith journey.

    Introduction Jesus was crucified between two thieves. One of the thieves mocked Jesus. But the other thief rebuked him.
