     | 1,049 views

    we are going to examine the text in the context of Jesus’ sermon and then apply it to our lives today. It is not up to the text to agree with you, but rather it is up to you to come to agreement with the text.

    Contributed by Steven Buhr on Aug 31, 2023
     | 1,692 views

    The first thing that jumps out at many people in this passage is that little phrase ‘be subject to’ or ‘submit’, or ‘be submissive’. People can get hung up in that and lose the intention of what is being said.

    In the Same Way A study through Peter July 16th 2023 A young child was attending their very first wedding. Sitting by his mom, the boy took in all the sights and sounds. Leaning toward her, the child asked ‘Why does the bride wear all-white?’ To which she answered her son, ‘Well dear, white ...read more

    What would be wrong with "baptizing" an infant? Is it Biblical and was it a practice of the early Church?

    Raccoon John Smith was one of our brotherhood’s more colorful evangelists in the early 1800s.

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,213 views

    Jesus wanted His disciples to tarry with Him in prayer at a most crucial hour, but they were overcome with sleep. If we can set aside some distractions and discipline ourselves to spend time with God we will experience wonderful transformation in our lives.

    We read in Mark 14:37, He went back and found them asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn't you stay awake for one hour? (GW) As Jesus was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, he instructed his disciples to tarry in prayer right where they were, when He went on further ...read more
