    Are We Truly In The Hands Of God?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 9, 2023
     | 1,565 views

    What are our hands good for doing?

    What are our hands good for doing? They can make things. They can comfort and they can chastise. They write words. Hands can make signals and signs. Hands can be on the offense and hands can be on the defense. Without hands we could not eat, unless we put our face down on to a plate of food but ...read more

     | 1,814 views

    What is it to stand in the gap for someone else? Is it to stand in the place for another?

    In Chapter 22, we learn why judgment would be placed on Jerusalem (22:2-16), how it would approach them (22:17-22), and who would be affected by it (22:23-31). The Jewish leaders were particularly liable for the ethical environment of the country since God had picked them to lead. Those actions and ...read more

    Am I Using Faulty Tools?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 30, 2023
     | 1,235 views

    The simple things or actions during our Christian walk of faith are just as important as with the things that seem major.

    2 Kings 6:1-7 Elisha has now succeeded Elijah as a prophet to the Northern Kingdom (2 Kings 2:1-18). He has by now already prophesied and God has performed a few miracles through him. But now we will see something peculiar, he makes an axe head float. This situation shows how God cares for His ...read more

    What Does It Mean To Be Commissioned?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Feb 6, 2023
     | 821 views

    Isaiah’s perspective on God in the initial four verses gives us a feeling of God’s significance, power, and mystery. Isaiah's case of perceiving his sin before God urges us to admit our own wrongdoings.

    Isaiah 6:1-13 The image of absolution that Isaiah gives advises us that we are pardoned as well. At the point when we perceive how incredible God is, how guilty we are, and the degree of His absolution, we get the strength to accomplish His work. How does our idea of the significance of God match ...read more

    An example of grace in how it demonstrates the action of true Christian fellowship.

    Paul wrote this letter as a plea for a runaway slave of Philemon’s named Onesimus. He had stolen from Philemon then ran away to Rome where he met Paul. Subsequently he accepted Christ as his Savior, so Paul was writing this letter as he was sending Onesimus back to Philemon, but he wanted Philemon ...read more

    Is your life devoted to acquiring things? Is it devoted to doing God's will? What are your priorities? What is your life?

    TEXT: JAMES 4:13-15 (NIV) Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow.

    What Does Love Have To Do With It?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jun 25, 2023
     | 1,037 views

    John 13:31-35 contains perhaps the most remarkable command given to Christians: that love for others is the characterizing indication of faith for ''all individuals,'' denoting the existence of a genuine believer.

    Jesus outlines this as a new commandment, utilizing His own model as the norm. In giving this charge, Jesus indeed predicts His looming demise and exit from earth. To cherish others was not another new commandment (Leviticus 19:18), but rather to love others just as like Christ loved others was ...read more

    Our Change Of Masters

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Apr 15, 2023
     | 1,449 views

    Man was made to rule. When God created man, he gave him priority over all things. Yet it is equally true that man was made to serve.

    In the beginning, man was placed in the garden to keep it and to address it. He was to serve his maker. We find within man a war, two great forces seeking the mastery of his life. Galatians 5:17. Evil and good, sin and righteousness. If evil seeks to rule man, so also the good spirit. That spirit ...read more

    Was A Sacrificial Lamb Really Necessary For Humanity?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jun 9, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 427 views

    If a sacrificial lamb was necessary for people during Biblical times, is one still necessary for people of today?

    As the Hebrews arranged for their departure from subjugation in Egypt, they were told to make bread without yeast (“unleavened bread”) on the grounds that they lacked the necessary amount of time to sit and wait for it to rise. Yeast was likewise an image of wrongdoing, so they were directed to ...read more
