Christmas - Part 2

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Oct 9, 2020

We have learned that Paul is showing through the practice of his day regarding a child who is heir to the family’s fortune that Jews and Gentiles were in their “spiritual childhood” before Christ...

(Gal 4:1 NKJV) Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, (Gal 4:2 NKJV) but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. (Gal 4:3 NKJV) Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under ...read more

Kingdom Keys - Jeremiah Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Jul 21, 2023

A Godly representative lives with sorrow for those who do not know God because they do not know in whose image they were created, whose spirit they have within and whose child they are.

Spiritual Adoption - What Does That Mean?

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Jul 20, 2014

Adoption during the writings of Paul meant something totally different then it does today. Adoption signifies that you are legally a child of God. You are a full fledged member of the family. A joint heir with Christ. Updated July 2023.

Make The Most Of Our Visits With God

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jul 21, 2025

Abraham and Sarah, and Martha and Mary received the one thing they needed—God’s presence in their lives through his Word. Let’s ask God the Holy Spirit to do the same thing for us today and every day.

God came to visit them. In two of our Scripture readings for this Sunday two pairs of believers hosted God in their homes (well, to be exact one was a tent). Abraham and Sarah welcomed the LORD God who took on a human body to be able to visit them on a personal level. They heard God’s promises ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 11, 2022
