He has always been with us. A Christmas sermon

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which translated means, ‘God with us’.” Many years ago, I saw a Sunday morning newspaper comic strip that depicted a father and son, on a snowy day, looking in the front window of a department ...read more

Although, as we have already established, Paul is writing primarily to the Gentiles in this letter, it is apparent that the Temple of the Jews is prominent in his thinking as he makes his illustrations. In verse 14 he tells them that Christ has made peace between the two groups, Jew and ...read more

Why Paul prayed to the Father, for the Ephesians and therefore, for us. (#2 in the Unfathomable Love of Christ series)

Just last week we looked at this phrase briefly, from verse one. However, since it wasn’t our primary focus, we come back to it now, only in verse 14, following Paul’s parenthesis which encompassed verses 2 through 13.

Christ wants to be the center of our lives, our personalities, our mind, our will. (#3 in the Unfathomable Love of Christ series)

A systematic devotional study

When I was a boy I remember my father describing the God he grew up with.

Not long ago I saw a list of responses a class of children ...read more

"Like Enoch Walked"

Contributed by Clark Tanner on Jun 27, 2003

based on 40 ratings

| 9,504 views

Enoch was taken because he walked with God by faith. This makes him a type of the raptured church.

“Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty five years. And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.” One thing the Christian must get very ...read more
