    Not Seven But Seventy Times Seven

    Contributed by William Baeta on Sep 10, 2014
     | 12,457 views

    “Then Peter came to Him and said, ‘Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.’”

    Theme: Not seven, but seventy times seven Text: Gen. 50:15-21; Rom. 14:1-12; Matt. 18:21-35 One of the great themes of biblical revelation is that of forgiveness. This is not surprising since from the time man sinned by disobeying God his greatest need has been for forgiveness. God gave the Law to ...read more

    Paul, The Emotional Case Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 10, 2012
     | 5,532 views

    Neither Paul nor we are meant to be Mr. Spock from Star Trek; Paul was comfortable with emotion, but -- even when he was emotionally intense -- he kept his eyes on Jesus and sought to follow God’s will, not his own.

    Paul, the Emotional Case (2 Corinthians 7:2-16) 1. I love this old Jewish joke: During a service at an old synagogue in Eastern Europe, when the Shema prayer was said, half the congregants stood up and half remained sitting. The half that was seated started yelling at those standing to sit down, ...read more

    Everyone needs encouragement—even the seemingly strong and mature—but especially those who suffer.

    Today, in honor of International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church, we will stand and kneel with our brothers and sisters in Christ who share our faith but not our freedom. Second Timothy is the Apostle Paul’s final written communication before his death. He was chained to a soldier ...read more

    Jesus brings us an important message about making sure we are not acting like the pharisee's. Being careful not to let the little things corrupt us.

    God will often use things, people and circumstances that do not make sense to the human intellect. God will speak into our improbability and bring forth our destiny.

    1 Sam 16:13 Now the LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons." 2 And Samuel said, "How can I go? If ...read more

    John contrasts a God centered Christian with a self centered Christian.

    In the book of Third John, we read a tale of three Christians - Gaius, who John commended; Diotrephes, who John saw as cantankerous; and Demetrius, who John cited as being consistent in His walk with Christ. Last time we considered what John has to say about Gaius - a commendable Christian. Now ...read more

    It’s the message that needs to be proclaimed to the world. Man’s search for an earthly deliverer or Messiah is futile. Man’s earthly search for utopia is futile.

    Tonight’s study will not be as long as others have been. We are only going to look at 4 verses tonight. READ. Jesus has just tried to explain to the Pharisees that He is the Light of the world. Of course they didn’t believe it. The Pharisees had just asked Jesus to show them His ...read more
