The Showdown In The Desert (Matthew 4:1-11)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 6, 2024

After being baptized in the Jordan river, Jesus was driven into the Judean wilderness by the Holy Spirit to face forty days of hunger, thirst, and a supernatural battle with His archenemy and ours, the devil.

Faithful Builders

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Aug 1, 2025

One would think that with Paul and Apollos being their foundation layer and builders, the church in Corinth would be near perfect. But here we are, reading about how imperfect they were.

Faithful Builders 1Cor 3:5-23 One of the things I love about Paul’s letters to the Corinthians is that we’re shown a church that was pretty messed up.

One

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Aug 7, 2024

Walk In Righteousness

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 3, 2025

How To Become A True Worshipper

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Dec 3, 2023

Worship is an instinct within every human being because it is God-created and has been divinely implanted within us. He has provided an outlet for our need to worship.

"The hour cometh," Jesus said, "when the true worshippers SHALL worship." All other things of importance will be set aside for worship. Mere rituals will give way to meaningful worship. This promise follows the earlier pledge that "... the water that I shall give him shall ...read more
