    Look at 14:1 “And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, THAT THEY WATCHED HIM.”

    It is not hard for any of us to imagine how this took place in Luke 14:1. The Bible says He went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees. WHY DID HE GO THERE? Remember the Son of God became flesh as we are, and the Bible says He went into the Chief Pharisees house “…To eat bread on the ...read more

    He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Fig Tree) # 16

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022
     | 1,268 views

    The Lord taught many parables. But to fully understand these parables as we study them, we need to examine what motivated Him to teach that particular parable.

    In order to do this, you generally have to read the verses that precede the parable He spoke. For example, following Jesus' comments about the widow giving her two small coins in the temple, He teaches about: • The destruction of the temple • The coming of the end of the age Look at Luke 21: ...read more

    We have been given the means by which we can have peace within the body of Christ. All Bible references are from the NASB.

    Peace. How much we long for it. We look around the our world, and we find no peace. We look around our nation, which is more divided than I have ever seen it, there is no peace to be found. We look around our town, our community and even here, peace is often elusive. In many of our homes, I ...read more

    The horrifying scenes of the chaotic events at the US Capitol. These disturbing scenes are reminiscent of the heart-breaking words of the prophet Isaiah “Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands afar off; … truth is fallen in the street, …” (Isaiah 59:14).

    I wish to give credit to Dr. S. M Lockridge for the rhetorical and literary devices as well as some basic ideas and content that I employ in this message. My message is titled: “The New Person (Man or Woman) for the Future will worship the Lord.” Our Text today is Matthew 4:8-10: “8 Again, the ...read more

    God gave us Jesus as a way of saying, "I love you and you are special to me." That is a really great gift, isn't it? Much better than Valentine's cards, or candy, or flowers.

    God’s Unconventional Love Vs Valentine's Day “I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge — that you may be filled to the ...read more
