    Where was God when Jesus was crucified? The divine mystery is that God provided Himself as a sacrifice for sinful man. We are humbled by this knowledge, and eternally blessed.

    God's character is revealed through the Creation.

    “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep.

    Like many people in this day, Moses knew about God, but Moses didn't know God until he encountered God. Each of us who are twice born will have had an encounter with the Lord God. Until then, He is but a rumor.

    “Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush ...read more

    God stands athwart the evil that people embrace. He blesses those who endeavour to serve Him, and curses those who seek to promote themselves.

    “Thus says the Lord GOD: ‘Behold, my servants shall eat, you shall be hungry; behold, my servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty; behold, my servants shall rejoice, but you shall be put to shame; behold, my servants shall sing for gladness of heart, but you shall cry out for pain of ...read more

    In The Image Of God

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 13, 2025
     | 934 views

    Man is created in the image of God. Understanding how we are so created enables us to glorify God.

    “God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.’ So God created man in his own image, in the ...read more

    Get A Glimpse

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 30, 2022
     | 2,362 views

    In Exodus 33, Moses gets alone with God to be in His presence. His experience with God was special, and yet it’s the same experience which God desires to have with every one of us.

    Illustration: Is there someone, maybe a loved one or a close friend, who you enjoy spending time with? When it comes to that special person, talking on the phone is good, or doing Facetime, but nothing beats being with them in their presence. In Exodus 33, Moses gets alone with God to be in His ...read more

     | 10,562 views

    When Jesus washed feet, he was really washing hearts!

    The story of Jesus washing His disciples feet is only found in John. The synoptic record the story of the dispute between the disciples as to who is the greatest. John does not record that story; instead he tells the story of Jesus washing his disciples’ feet. The story is a counter to the ...read more

    John wants us to know that dealing with our sin is the basis for fellowship with God. Fellowship is then the key to determining how well we actually know Him.

    DON’T – BUT IF YOU DO 1 John 2:1-6 INTRODUCTION: As we continue in our study of First John, Chapter two begins, not a new section but the natural progression of thought in the mind of John. John has taken the first chapter to develop the though that moral conduct – especially for the believer ...read more
