The Upper Room (Part 2) Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 11, 2018

Imagine the shock of the disciples when Jesus declared that one of them would betray Him into the hands of sinful men. With that, they began to question - Lord, is it I? Could I possibly do such a thing? We often boast of our faith, but I fear we are unaware of what the flesh is capable of.

The Last Supper (Part 2) Mark 14: 12-26 In our last study we began to look at this beautiful passage dealing with the Last Supper in the Upper Room.

Encourage One Another!

Contributed by Hans Krause on Nov 17, 2018

We don't know when Jesus will come again, or whether we will die before that and go to meet our Savior. We do know that we should be wide awake and ready 24/7 for that encounter. And to that end, we are called to encourage one another rather than to incite fear and panic.

Do you believe that Jesus will one day come back from where he has gone? Do you believe that there is actually going to be a point of time in our history, or better: in our future, when God will intervene in the flow of history in a way that will have a cosmic impact? Let’s have a show of hands: ...read more
