Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 9 – Judah The Harlot Blinded By Sin Polluted The Land Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 29, 2024

I think the worse a man or woman is joined to sin, then the greater the blurriness of that person’s position becomes. Sin is the cancer that overtakes the ability to repent. Judah was so idolatrous; it craved after spiritual adultery with all the gods of the nations. Interesting Hosea.

God's Awesome Plan

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 16, 2024

At Easter we think of how Jesus, by dying on the cross, freed us from our slavery to sin. But we can't think, 'I'm saved and that's all that matters to me.' God saves us for a purpose. We need to grasp God's purpose and engage with it.

Power Of The Lamb

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 23, 2024

What Caused The Wise Men To ‘leave-It-All?’

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 7, 2024

The Wise Men were the ultimate seekers after Jesus. They left their businesses, their families, their reputations, and risked their lives to honor the Christ-child. The very night after their visit, the holy Family had to flee Herod. What timing!
