The first nine chapters have set forth beautifully in what has been mainly connected discourse concerning the nature ...read more

     | 1,580 views

    There is tremendous pressure for us to abandon the teachings that have been handed down to us from Jesus and the apostles. The pressure comes from our society in general, which has become so liberal and atheistic. And Paul warns that it can even come from inside the church.

    As we continue studying James chapter1, we find the author shifting a bit from what God does not do to the things that God does do for us. We also will receive some strong instruction on what we are to do with these great gifts from above.

    What’s So Good About Good Friday Series

    Contributed by Lalachan Abraham on Apr 17, 2025
     | 193 views

    Beyond etymology, Good Friday can be called “good” because of the results of Christ’s death on the cross. Jesus’ sacrifice was a demonstration of God’s love for us (Romans 5:8).

    The significance of a person’s death depends largely on two things: who they are and what caused them to die. Good Friday, the Friday before Easter, is the Christian day to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus and His death at Calvary. Jesús willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ...read more
