    Thou Art The Christ

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 1, 2019
     | 7,599 views

    If Jesus wasn't the Christ, our faith would be in vain, and we would yet be without salvation. If He is the Christ, and we know He is, then He is the only source of hope for humanity. We all must deal with the question regarding the identity of Jesus. How we respond will affect our eternity.

    Thou art the Christ Matthew 16: 13-16 As we continue looking at profound statements in Scripture, we come to an intimate moment with Jesus and His disciples. They have traveled from Bethsaida to Caesarea Philippi. It is here that Jesus asked a fundamental question – whom do men say that I am? ...read more

    Most of us want to have a vibrant relationship with God. But knowing God is one of the great and most difficult challenges. In this lesson we discuss, what it means to know God.

    I've got to tell you, one of the things that I want to know more than anything else is actually to know God. It's one of those deep desires I have, and longings that I have in my own heart. And I'm hoping that men out there listening want the same. But how do we know God? I mean, how do we really ...read more

    Surrounded by legalist and religious tradition within the Temple, Jesus was questioned by an earnest scribe which of all the many commandments was greatest. Jesus answered with a convicting and compelling statement.

    The Great Commandment of Love Mark 12: 28-34 Jesus was often questioned and challenged concerning His interpretation of Scripture. Who better to know the word than the Word Himself?

    Although Paul desired to be in the Lord's presence, he knew it was more needful to remain for the church. He was determined to glorify Christ in life or death. We too need to remain committed and faithful to the work the Lord given us.

    Torn between Two Philippians 1:19-26 Following his passionate discourse regarding the preaching of the Gospel, Paul continues to bear his heart unto the church at Philippi.

    The Credibility In Discipleship Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 15, 2016
     | 7,111 views

    Many are skeptical of the church because of perceived hypocrites. How do we obtain credibility in our witness to others? How do live and walk in such a way to be an effective witness? We must walk in Christ to possess the credibility we need.
