     | 4,915 views

    Are you ashamed to be served by Jesus? Be careful how you answer. As Jesus demonstrates what real love is, he also recoils at real betrayal.

    The object lesson of the two sticks pictures the great reunion that will take place at the return of Jesus.

    God speaks through his Son to all who are willing to listen and obey.

    Scripture Introduction John 3.16 may be the best known verse in the Bible, but the next one is near in significance: “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” Jesus came to save. That’s good news. But what about ...read more

    When Jesus speaks about counting the cost to be his disciple he made it clear that following him would cost us our life of ease, our money and our time. To be a disciple of Jesus means we are the salt the preserving force in this world in which we live in.
