    The Fourth Word From The Cross: "Eloi, Eloi, Lema Sabachthani?" Series

    Contributed by Ravin Caldera on Apr 18, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 24,037 views

    This is a reflection on the forth word from the cross, which is a very difficult passage for exposition. These words give a deep expression of faith ("my God, my God"), universal cry for justice ("why") and, words of deep mystery ("have forsaken me").

    And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Mark 15:34). As Mark stated, about Jewish ninth hour or in our time three o'clock there was darkness over the whole land—out of darkness and despair ...read more

    Baptism And Communion - The Power And Importance Of Symbolism

    Contributed by Daniel J. Little on Dec 5, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,063 views

    Why do so many road signs use only symbols to convey their message? Because the message is recognizable and understood almost instantly, and because unlike words, symbols hold their meaning and are very often universally understood. Perhaps that is why Go

    The Holy Spirit & The Non-Belliever Series

    Contributed by Thomas Donelan on Sep 28, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,294 views

    Is the Holy Spirit some sort of supernatural force in the universe? No, He is more than that, He is as much God as the Father and the Son and He has a ministry in the New Testament. Today we look at the ministry of the Holy Spirit to the non-believer.

    Introduction The Trinity, the Great Three in One, as we look at these three we can understand the thought process somewhat of a father, we all have had fathers here on earth, some good, some not so good. I was blessed to have a good father and he taught me a lot. We are all sons, so we can is ...read more

    Oh how I hate to wait... waiting is so difficult for me, but I have found that waiting is a 'universal' problem... it is just that some of us do it better than others and make better use of our time while we are waiting...

    "the Scientific Brilliance Of Genesis 1:1"

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 2, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,621 views

    When we stop to meditate on the first verse of Holy Scripture, we see not only the majesty and power of Almighty God in action, but if we look deeper, we also see the beginnings of scientific thought and the real explanation for the origin of life and the universe.

    "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1, KJV). Consider for a moment how solemn, powerful and wondrous these opening words of Holy Scripture are. They present the work, thought, and exactness of Almighty God. You are probably saying to yourself, ...read more

    The Jesus that we’re about to encounter is the Lion of Judah! The Eternal, Almighty, Self-Existent God of the Universe who has eyes that burn and pierce into your very soul … the judge before whom all of us will one day have to stand.

    Jesus … What do you picture when I say that blessed and beautiful name? Do you picture the classic portraits and descriptions of “Jesus, Meek and Mild”? Maybe you picture a deified Mr. Rogers with a beard? Do you picture a carpenter from Nazareth? A rabbi wandering around the Galilean ...read more

     | 1,097 views

    As Creator, God existed before His creation. Everything else in the universe has a beginning. God alone has always been, always is, and always will be. He made time, yet He is before time because He is timeless.

    “GREAT BIG GOD” GENESIS 1:1 We are packed and ready to go on a road trip, but the trip is not about us. It is the Journey of Jesus through the 66 books of the Bible. Jesus traveled Route 66.

    Did the Son of God, Jesus Christ, Lord and God and Creator of the Universe, put aside His transcendent glory and empty Himself, coming down all the way to assume our weak human nature so that we could “get by”?

    Seventh Sunday in Course 2025 Unless you have a pretty strong grounding in what we used to call “Bible History,” today’s first reading could leave you a little blindsided, that is until you heard the Gospel.

    This sermon is the completion of Paul's three chapter presentation of the universal sinfulness and helplessness of all people. Before Paul can share the good news of the gospel, he must first we understand and accept the bad news of our condition.

    A. One day two men were sitting next to each other on an airplane, and one of them remarked, “Somebody around here’s deodorant isn’t working!” 1.

    End Of Your Prayer Is The Beginning Of Your Prayer Life Series

    Contributed by Kamalanathan Francis on Nov 17, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,254 views

    Living a prayer life is as important as the effective prayer time we have with God. Prayer is more than a ritual, it is building a relationship with the most important being in the universe. That’s why this topic is important than all other prayer teachings.

    Our prayer life is examined by our fruitfulness in life. A sponge soaked in oil when it is squeezed spills out oil, and a sponge soaked in water, when squeezed, give out water. What goes inside comes out. If through prayer you have allowed God to work out in your life, godliness and spiritual gifts ...read more
