The Forbidden Chapter Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 2, 2024

Jews don't read Isaiah 53 in the Synagogue anymore. Why not? Is it because of what they don't understand in that chapter, or because of what they do?

Many people refer to Isaiah 53 as being the “forbidden chapter” of the Bible! For centuries, Jewish synagogues would include this chapter in their yearly readings. But not anymore. Today when Jewish people read Isaiah 52 in the Synagogue, they stop before they get to end of the chapter (at verse ...read more

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 18, 2024

Just as Jonah slept through the raging storm there were others in the Bible who also slept for various reasons. Today if the church does not wake up and continues to be in slumber of any sort, we will become easy targets of the evil one.

We read in Jonah 1:5-6, And the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it unto them. But Jonah was gone down into the innermost parts of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. So the shipmaster came to ...read more

The Lie: I Am What I Am Series

Heaps Of Burning Coals

Contributed by Tammy Garrison on Aug 12, 2002

This continues a series on the book of Romans. An extreme gift of grace calls for an extreme response. Paul calls us to love our enemies. Sometimes God’s grace calls us to places we’d rather not go.

This summer we have been traveling the Roman Road Of Salvation with Paul. We began by hearing that there is nothing we can do to earn God’s grace. We will never merit the love God has for us. No matter how good we are, or how bad we can be, God still loves us. Our wrong doings separates us from ...read more

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 8, 2017

The bible is difficult to interpret at times. it’s a codebook, which if used well, can help us decipher the enigmas of life, fight the right battles, know the real enemy and bring us peace with God.
