    Martha is well-to-do and highly respected within her community. She lives in a big house . She lived with her sister Mary and her brother Lazarus. They were a Jewish family who were friends and followers of Jesus

    Martha - the hostess Luke 10:38-42, John 11:1-44 Martha has received quite a lot of criticism over the years, for every woman is told not to be like Martha, and consequently they heave upon themselves the burden of guilt and condemnation when they are.

    A look at Jesus, as High Priest, Son Of God and “Sent One”

    As he drew to the conclusion of his gospel the aged apostle John reflected, “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” It was a common characteristic of those early ...read more

    Waiting To See

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 19, 2023
     | 1,190 views

    It is not reasonable for us, like Thomas, to insist on seeing Jesus' wounds for ourselves before we believe; We have clouds of witnesses whose lives proclaim the truth of their words. What more do we need?

    Not too long ago I had some serious computer problems. I took my printer in to be repaired only to be told that it was a software problem. So I downloaded new installation software off of the Internet only to find that in doing so I had messed up my operating system. I tried to reinstall the ...read more

    I want to get a little more detailed and ask if our faith shows up in our conversations.

    Last week, we talked about our faith and what part it plays in our lifestyle. Today I want to get a little more detailed and ask if our faith shows up in our conversations. It is estimated that people spend 52 minutes a day talking about someone who is not present. Of those gossip-filled ...read more

    Simeon: A Lesson In Waiting & Obedience

    Contributed by Tj Long Jr on Jan 1, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,907 views

    Simeon and Anna are faithfully waiting but without the obedience of Joseph and Mary, the promises of God would've been delayed. We must be diligent as disciple-makers because to bring people the good news, to bring Jesus to them.

    Christmas is over and now we have 358 days until Christmas 2024. If I was a child I’d be a little depressed about having to wait so long Christmas to come back around again. As I was growing up there were many things I felt like I waited on; a girl to like me, for me to be taller, for me to get my ...read more

     | 2,785 views

    If knowing the will of God depends on the renewal of our mind and our total surrender to him, how can we be sure that it has taken place? Are we really living it out?

    The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 3:10-12 - Message 7 – The Law Will Not Justify But Faith Will Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 16, 2024
     | 806 views

    Paul continues the great contrast of Law and faith and how justification is achieved. Those who claim to keep the Law must keep every tiniest part lest they break the whole Law. Remember the Law was given to Jews NOT to Gentiles who were never under the Law.

    THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 3:10-12 - MESSAGE 7 – THE LAW WILL NOT JUSTIFY BUT FAITH WILL These messages in Galatians continue as we see the opposing sides of Law, and faith alone without the Law. [A]. THE LAW BRINGS A CURSE {{Galatians 3:10 As many as are of the works of the Law are UNDER ...read more

     | 198 views

    Jesus saw a man whose right hand was withered and then, in the synagogue, healed him. Some of the religious leaders were there, too, and were furious with Jesus because of this.

    A Healing in the Synagogue Introduction: Jesus healed people in different places at different times. One of the more unusual healings took place when four men carried a paralyzed man to a house but couldn’t enter. They didn’t stop, though: they carried the man up to the roof, opened a hole in the ...read more

    Do The Jewish Festivals Reveal A Timeline For The Return Of Jesus?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jan 2, 2025
    based on 4 ratings
     | 630 views

    Some say that there is no understanding of Bible prophecy without understanding the Festivals and their typology and patterns.

    Since the early 1800s, when replacement theology found a foothold in the Church, some believe that once a person ‘grasps’ the meaning of the ‘festivals in the Bible,’ they will begin to understand the prophetic future of Jesus’ return with perfect clarity, and specifically a Pre-Tribulation ...read more
