    To show how betrayal is in us all and but it need not be the end of a relationship with God

    JUDAS: YOU BETRAYER JOHN 13 V18-30 I don’t know anyone who has called their child ‘Judas.’ That name is synonymous with betrayal and treachery. We sometimes hear people being called ‘Judas’ and it is not a term of endearment. Sometimes football fans will shout it at a former player or manager. ...read more

    Joseph

    Contributed by Chris Tiller on Dec 14, 2005
    based on 35 ratings
     | 9,527 views

    Advent is a time of preparation and repentance, and it turns out that Joseph’s story has a few things to teach about those very things.

    Joseph…the husband of Mary. The Bible doesn’t really tell us that much about Joseph. Legend has it that he was an elderly widow. Supposedly that explains why he was able to honor Mary’s virginity during the first months of their marriage and why he quietly disappears from the narrative sometime ...read more

    The Verse

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Jul 17, 2004
    based on 34 ratings
     | 4,268 views

    This is about Jesus conversation with Nicodemus.

    It is perhaps the best known verse of the Bible. Almost anyone can quote it, at least in paraphrase. It is the verse that every child learns in Sunday school and VBS. I remember making a little wall plaque in Bible school with the verse on it. I remember that 15 to 20 years ago, you would see ...read more

    How we can learn from Mary Magdalene’s example

    MARY MAGDALENE – JOHN 20.1-18 Over the past year one of the major best sellers has been a book called the Da Vinci Code. The book purports to be genuine history of a secret which the Christian church has tried to suppress for nearly 2000 years – namely that Jesus did not die on the cross but was ...read more

    A Warning That Bears Repeating

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 10, 2022
     | 1,922 views

    As the days draw nearer for the Lord's promised return, more people are choosing the wealth of the world rather than taking care of the most precious commodity they have, and that is their soul. Nothing of this world is worth the loss of eternal life with Christ.

    Some time ago, I watched a series of programs that the BBC (British Broadcasting Company) had produced which centered on a variety of individuals who had encountered the Lord Jesus Christ at some point in their lives yet walked away with nothing more than faint curiosity, some conversation, or ...read more

    John's Questions; Jesus' Answers

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Nov 9, 2000
    based on 146 ratings
     | 16,442 views

    Sometimes Jesus gives us answers we don’t want to hear...sometimes He answers the questions we should have asked.

    I want you to consider John the Baptist. It is so easy for us to take a cursory look at this man, as we pass through the early chapters of the Gospels, and move on to study the ministry of Jesus with no more thought given to the Baptist, other than remembering him as the one who had the solemn ...read more

    Are you a Jesus Freak John the Baptist Matthew 3:1-12 What do you think of when you hear the word freak?
