    Will God Forgive?

    Contributed by Harold Kouwenberg on Aug 3, 2013
     | 5,002 views

    Psalm 51 gives us an insight to the deeply personal confession of David and a glimpse of the grace God affords sinners like us. The emphasis isn't on judgement, it is on confession, repentance and grace. Our response is worship, thansgiving and testimony.

    "WILL GOD FORGIVE?" Psalm 51: 1-19 Matthew 7: 1-5 "NEVER! I'll never in a million years forgive that man! After what he's done to me, he can just forget about ever talking to me again! That's one thing I can never do. I just can't forgive what he has done." ...read more

    Jesus called twelve men to serve as disciples. These men came from different backgrounds, varied occupations, and unique personalities. Jesus used ordinary men in extraordinary ways. That should challenge and encourage every believer.

    The Calling of the Twelve Mark 3: 13-21 Surely you would agree that our study thus far has revealed a very busy, and often difficult time for Jesus. His ministry had gained momentum and immense popularity among the common people. Everywhere Jesus went, He was met with large crowds of people, all ...read more

    The Diety Of Christ

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 4, 2022
     | 1,731 views

    Something we Christians have always taken for granted as we witnessed to the lost is the deity of Christ. That is, as we talked to sinners we would take it for granted that they understood that Jesus was the son of Mary and Joseph, but more important, that He is the DIVINE SON OF GOD.

    In past years very seldom have we come across anyone who did not believe this Biblical truth. However, this is something we can no longer take for granted. Why? At least two things have caused the general public to turn away from these eternal truths. MANY DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE DEITY OF CHRIST… ...read more

    In John's Gospel, miracles are signs pointing to something beyond the miracle. In Jesus' 1st sign, turning water to wine, what does it point to? What's it got to do with us?

    A drunken coal miner came to Christ & went stone cold sober. He began telling all his friends about his freedom in Christ & the evils of alcohol. One friend decided to trap him. “Do you really believe Jesus turned water into wine?” “Absolutely!” he replied. “For me, He’s turned wine into a ...read more
