He is sovereign; meaning He is the high ruler. He is God by self ordination and appointment. The earthly leaders ...read more

    Mark reveals a one to five scale of relationships with Jesus, from his enemies to his selected servants. Do you see yourself in one of these?

    Read or recite Mark 3. In this chapter the opposition against Jesus is mounting.

    Introduction To Psalms Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Feb 22, 2020
     | 5,897 views

    This is the introduction to a series of studies on selected Psalms, developed from a series of classes. This sermon does not examine a particular psalm, but makes observations about psalms in general.

Too often I have swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as I should into the depths of meaning and feeling that are expressed by the psalmists. Upon ...read more

    As a prophetess, Anna receives insight into things that typically remain hidden to ordinary people; she recognizes this child and tells of his significance to selected people in Jerusalem.

She could well serve as the Bible's example of a remarkable woman and mother. The appositive prophetess heads ...read more
