Jesus’ Concern For The Heart

Contributed by Ken Henson on Aug 1, 2012

Overcoming Greed Series

Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Jul 25, 2013

Every Biblical character is a unique personality and has been written for us to learn something. We will be warned of Gehazi's downward pull due to the sin of GREED. We will learn lessons from the life of Elisha on how he maintained his INTEGRITY.

The dictionary defines GREED as the desire to possess wealth, goods or objects with the intention to keep it for one's self, far beyond the dictates of basic survival and comfort. That means, a person who is greedy will covet something even if he does not really need it. He will hide it for some ...read more

Contributed by Joseph Stapleton on Apr 13, 2011

Palm Sunday is a time when we see Jesus enter into Jerusalem, BUT, did the people really see Jesus for the King He is, or the King they wanted Him to be?
