Bear Fruit (Part 4 Of 4) Series

Contributed by Tim Melton on Mar 1, 2021

As one abides in Christ, only then can he or she bear fruit that will last. Like the vine in John 15, it is only as we stay connected to Christ that Christ will bring about fruit in us and through us for His glory.

As we look at John 15, we must remember the context. Jesus was talking with His disciples. It was the end of the Last Supper, right before they walked to the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus would be arrested. Jesus had just told them that one of them would betray Him. He had talked of how He was ...read more

The Branch Of Motherhood

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2021

How can we relate Mother’s Day to today’s text, John 15:1 – 8? We can relate Motherhood to today’s text by thinking of Motherhood as a branch on the Vine that Jesus is talking about.

Antipas: The Perverse And Putrid Puppet Ruler Of Galilee Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 12, 2021

The story of Herod Antipas is one of treachery, murder, lust, cowardice, deceit, and perversion. He was responsible for the murder of John the Baptist and ridiculed Jesus on the day of His execution. The family of Herod had no redeeming qualities and are examples of unredeemed humanity.

It would make sense to say that the ministry of the Lord Jesus was attracting a great deal of attention and some scrutiny by virtue of His wondrous teachings, His compassion to all who came to Him in faith and trust, the way He handled the criticisms and pettiness of the Pharisees, His ability ...read more

"The Culture Of The King”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Mar 18, 2021

James and John request places of honor in the new "political kingdom". Kingdom culture is servanthood. We live in an ambitious world. Life is about winning and losing. They were dreaming of goblets filled with wine, not cups of suffering.

Storms had ravaged the ships; the Pinta had lost her rudder; the food was getting wormy, and the crew was threatening mutiny. Conditions could hardly have been worse, for there was darkness, danger, hunger, panic, and exhaustion. All of these stared them in the face, and yet the Admiral of the ...read more

Pleasing God

Contributed by Patrick Agbonkpolor on May 4, 2021

It the desire of every true believer to please the Lord. Our Lord Jesus has shown us an example on how to please God in John 8:29 " for I do always those things that please him."

Hebrews 11:5-6 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he ...read more
