Jesus

Contributed by Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid on Mar 13, 2015

What betrayal convicts the heart of man?---not the heart of the man who committed the offense, supposedly but the one who suffered the offense. Is the heart of the sufferer on the mercy seat as much as the offender who committed the offense, supposedly.

Be A Servant To All People Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

Believers often get caught up in self-service instead of true service, being focused on seats of power. Jesus demonstrated a powerful act of servanthood that would stand as a reminder concerning genuine kingdom service.

There once arose a dispute among the disciples, as to which of them should be considered the greatest (Luke 22:24). Jesus told them, “He who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves. For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is ...read more

The Birth Of Moses Series

God has his heroes of faith. They may not be household names they are vitally important to God’s work of redemption. Like Jochebed and Amram the parents of Moses.

One of the questions was, what was the name of Moses’s mother. It is not a name known by very many. The answer is ...read more
