Standing On The Promises Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 30, 2022

In 2 Samuel 5-7 David stands on God’s promise to him. It is God’s covenant to David. The promise is that his decedents will reign on the throne of Israel forever. Yet this promise goes beyond David and his family and the King of Israel. It is the promise of the coming Messiah.

That hymn has brought great comfort to many ...read more

In My Father’s House Are Many Mansions Series

Contributed by Ps Trevor Bartley on May 18, 2017

Many people think and have been taught that when Jesus is talking in John 14:2-3 that they are going to get a great home of brick and mortar, or a mansion. I am investigating this view...

Belief In The Resurrection Of The Dead

Contributed by Sajeev Painunkal, Sj on Nov 6, 2010

The Sadducees try to ridicule Jesus with a stupid question about what happens in heaven. The answer of Jesus is not about the how but they why. If we don't believe in a life after death, we will have no purpose for our life on earth.

And most of the time they are not naïve; they are trying to make us look foolish trying to answer ...read more
