    What was the essence of the Gospel of the Kingdom? Jesus came preaching a gospel which cut across the norms of the day. He still proclaims a gospel that is radical, unconventional and controversial.

    The Gospel of the Kingdom Matt 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people Ben Hur, Gladiators – epic Hollywood blockbusters depicting the glory and ...read more

    Many people think of Jesus being in the words of Charles' Wesley's carol. But he wasn't. He came to do the Father's will even if it ruffled feathers. And he may even set Father against Son, as I experienced myself

    The Roles Of Women In The Church Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 20, 2005
    based on 104 ratings
     | 16,397 views

    This is among the most controversial sections in the Bible. Paul appears on the surface to be against women, but if you look at the context there is much more here - and more important issues than how we dress and act.

    There is no doubt that 1 Timothy 2 is among the most controversial passages of Paul’s writings. In this chapter it appears as if Paul calls men to pray and women to shut up - while dressed in sackcloth and ashes - staying home barefoot and pregnant. Although it is short - only 15 verses - it is ...read more

    Pits & Wells

    Contributed by Tj Long Jr on Oct 13, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,172 views

    Many of the things that we think will fill us up are indeed pits that drain us. We should seek after wells that have Living Water. In the midst of internal strife in the church at Philippi, Paul shows us how to seek the things that are lovely while I'll give you steps to reduce the negativity.

    “Pits & Wells” (Title Slide) [Slides are available upon request, these cues denotes where slides are shown/used.] It’s a common narrative to think that most of the news that you see on TV is bad news.
