Paul Was Persuaded, How About You?

Contributed by Samuel Fulkerson on Aug 23, 2012

The price of Redemption had been paid at the Cross, however until Jesus brought His precious blood into the Holy of Holies made without hands, the Redemption of the purchased possession (THE CHURCH) was still in expectation, not possession.

Romans 8:1-4, 35-39 Why could Paul say this? -Because he knew that Jesus came to make “redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament.” Heb. 9:15 -Because he knew that the Law was a “shadow of good things to come.” Heb. 10:1 -Because he knew that ...read more

Retreat And Regroup

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Mar 29, 2022

The church says that the disciples were acting cowardly when they scattered after Jesus' arrest. If they did not and they were arrested and killed then who would have brought the Gospel to us? This is a DIFFERENT view of those events

Koplitz 27 And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, because it is written, ‘I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP SHALL BE SCATTERED.’ 28 “But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.” 29 But Peter said to ...read more

Backtrack To The Bible Series

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 15, 2022

When dealing with perilous times brought on by a corrupt culture, the Apostle Paul knew the answer: it was to go back to godly living and the foundation of truth as found in the Word of God. This was his counsel to Timothy in II Timothy 3.

Our culture has long been going in the wrong direction. We have made great progress in technology, but it has also been our undoing. Existentialism and Post-modernism have taught us to focus on ourselves and selfishly pursue our own desires despite the consequences. Instead of the church affecting ...read more

I Will Not Bow Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 21, 2020

In his final letter, Paul gives his "son in the faith" Timothy a series of charges to ensure that his ministry in Ephesus will be firmly grounded on Jesus Christ and to never bow to the pressures brought on by the world.

My calling to the Lord's service occurred at the same time I gave my life to Him in December of 1975 while I was in high school.

Jesus On Trial

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 25, 2021

Jesus stepped into a maelstrom and was brought before a court that was losing some of its power and was uncertain about its future given Rome’s growing power and the increasing fear and rising tension amongst the Jewish people.

I love the Gospel of Mark … well, I love all the gospels … but Mark reminds me of Joe Friday from the 1950s TV series “Dragnet.” Some of us older folks remember Sargent Friday’s famous signature line: “Just the facts.” Mark’s gospel is terse and to the point. He gives us “just the facts” and ...read more
