    Christmas 1914- Peace In No-Man's Land Series

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Dec 8, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,199 views

    “Peace on earth” is a familiar Christmas greeting. However, it is as elusive today as it was 2,000 years ago. Did Christ then fail in his mission in coming to earth?

    Today is the second message in our series, “Christmas Through the Ages.” Today, we travel back 99 years to 1914. I chose 1914 instead of 1913 because 1914 was a monumental year. APRIL 15, 1914 marked the sinking of the Titanic. In July and August the nations of Europe declared ...read more

    This miracle was not a cool trick to show his disciples, but with a specific purpose, like the others, to reveal himself to the disciples. This miracle was about walking on the water.

    Background to passage: Since the end of chapter four, Jesus has been demonstrating his person and character through multiple miracles. He calmed a storm, cast out a demon, healed the sick, raised a little girl from the dead. Now, having fed the 5000+, Jesus sends them away and sends the disciples ...read more

     | 2,120 views

    Some Scholars say the term “generation” means an average life span and refers either to the generations in which Jesus lived while on Earth or to the generation living when the end time signs begin to occur.

    The word “generation” (Gk: ‘genea’) can refer to the age or period of the members of a family as determined by the average span of life (Genesis 31:3; Matthew 1:17, 17:17; Mark 9:19; Luke 9:41, 16:8; Acts 2:40), as well as all the people of a given period (Matthew 24:34, Mark 13:30, Luke 1:48, ...read more

    Pandemics, Politics, And The Judgment Of God

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on May 7, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,582 views

    It is commonly believed that God 'judges' people today, and He does that by causing good things to happen to people doing good things and causing bad things to happen to people doing bad things.

    This belief is nothing new and seen in Job, the oldest book of the Bible. Every use of the word 'judgment' referring specifically to God in the New Testament is regarding salvation and His eternal punishment for those who reject Jesus as Lord and Savior. Receiving Him is the only way to ...read more

    Contributed by David Baeder on Nov 3, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,640 views

    Our redemption is one of the great themes of the Bible. It expresses our fallenness; it expresses God’s great love for us. To redeem, in the most simple of terms, is to buy something back. In a word, redemption is the theme of the Bible. When God
