God Is Love

Contributed by Stan Lobin on Nov 16, 2022

What do we do with the the fact that God is love and we were created in His image? How do we, in our brokenness, love an invisible God and those hard to love people that God has commanded us to love? God has a plan or a road map for us to follow to make us more loving.

God is love! Of course all Christians should have heard that phrase and believe that it is true because we are told that God is love in the Bible. 1 John 4:7-21 NASB 7 Beloved, let’s love one another; for love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 The one who ...read more

The Essence Of Christmas Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Dec 6, 2022

Jesus went from sitting on a throne to lying in a manger to hanging on a tree. He went from being a king with a crown to a baby with diapers to a criminal on the cross. Why did He do this?

Jesus Christ, Our Great High Priest

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 13, 2022

On the last night of Jesus' life before going to the cross, He spent time with the Father in prayer, serving as our great High Priest making intercession with God the Father on our behalf (Hebrews 3:1, 6:20). This "high priestly" prayer warrants our attention.

So far in John's gospel, we have encountered glorious portraits of the life, work, and teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ that give "many convincing proofs" (Acts 1:3) of HIs divinity and godly authority which no one else can ever claim. He healed the sick, raised the dead, fed the ...read more
