The 7 Step Cycle Of The Body Of Christ's Growth In Acts

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Sep 10, 2021

The mysterious Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity. After Jesus rose from the dead, and spent time with his disciples and others in the city, he told them that though he was leaving, he would send the Holy Spirit to lead them and guide them in their mission.

After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for ...read more

The Body And Blood Of Christ; Corpus Christi; The Lord's Supper

Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 17, 2023

In one and the same act, Judas hands Christ over to be sent to death, and Christ hands himself over in his self-giving in the Eucharist to us.

St. Thomas Aquinas says we often remember unusual things better than familiar things because things with a weird twist make a greater impression on the mind, which is also validated by the modern neuroscience of memory. So, here are some unusual truths about the Eucharist: The customary or valid ...read more

Husband, Love Your Wife-Body (Ephesians 5:15-33) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 9, 2025

Husband, you love your body. Your wife is your body. Love your wife. We focus on the head; Paul's interested in the head-body metaphor. Love by sacrificing, cherishing, providing.

Today, we continue our series on Ephesians, and we continue to talk about husbands and wives, Christ and the church. Last week, I focused on wives, because that's where Paul starts. We saw that what it means for a wife to submit to her husband primarily revolves around the idea of treating ...read more

Where Do Christians Go When They Die?

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Apr 1, 2017

A lesson that answers a question many Christians ponder - 'Where will they go when the physically die?'

Where Do Christians Go When They Die? Job asks, in Job 14:14, “If a man die, shall he live again?” Job's rhetorical question reflects a question that has been pondered by the vast majority of human beings throughout history.

What Exactly Is A "Layman?"

Contributed by Mark H. Stevens Thd on Jan 24, 2014

The Church is very ineffective because it is Clergy Driven and not driven by ALL believers with a passion for souls!

One problem I have found in the modern church is that we have made the church a CLERGY run entity. God meant the church to be driven by ALL of the saints. We are a body of BELIEVERS and BELIEVERS are supposed to CAST OUT DEVILS, PREACH THE GOSPEL, and LAY HANDS on the sick. (James 5:16 and Mark ...read more
