(1) INTRODUCTION: What is the ’Isaac Test’(see verse 1) "God will test our faith by asking us to sacrifice those things that are most dear to us that He has blessed us with."

The Case For The Resurrection

Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Jun 3, 2007

The evidence for the resurrection is overwhelming. And it’s so important to our faith. If God the Father can’t raise his own sinless Son then he can’t raise us either. But the resurrection is true. And we can prove it beyond any doubt.

Do You See The Light? Series

Contributed by Adam Couchman on Jun 18, 2007

John 9 is a compelling chapter in John’s Gospel. The healing of the man born blind confronts us with our own spiritual blindness. As we read, we are confronted with the same question that Jesus presents him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" Jesus, the

John presents his gospel in much the same way that a lawyer presents evidence in a kind of divine trial. He compels his “jury” to make a decision for themselves about Jesus – “do you believe or not?” The gospel is often divided into two sections – the Book of Signs (chapters 1-12) and the Book of ...read more

Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was at home, he asked the disciples, "What were you arguing about on the road?" But they kept silent, for on the road they had argued with one another about who was the greatest. So he sat down and called the twelve. He told them, "If anyone wants to be ...read more

The Fear Of The Lord Part 1

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 19, 2013

We all have a big decision to make - whether to trust in Yahweh through His Son Jesus or not. The decision is important - vitally important. So what are the consequences? And what about true evil and those who are innocent victims. What happens to them?
