Contributed by Joe Tilton on Oct 7, 2013

Think you know the definition of faith? Have you looked it up? The Apostles needing something, but was it faith in Christ? They were right there with him! Their faith (as we traditionally think of it) was replaced by sight. So what were they asking?

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 7, 2013

Honour God By Doing Good

Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 4, 2023

The Pharisees wanted to use the Sabbath to trap Jesus and accuse Him of wrongdoing. Jesus went into the synagogue on the Sabbath to honour God and do good, which is the true purpose of the Sabbath. He obeys the will of God and does what is right despite the opposition.

Come And See

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

Evangelism is not about having the right words. It is about being faithful in sharing our passion about what Jesus has done in our lives, and then inviting people to "come and see" for themselves what He is all about.

He states, “In asking Christians about their witnessing activities, we have found that nine out of ten individuals who attempt to explain their beliefs and theology to other people come away from ...read more
