    We need to hear the truth about Jesus from the Scripture.

    About Time You Got Here John 7:14-24 Introduction Last week we heard the gossip from the crowds about Jesus. There were all kinds of speculation about him.

    Married To Jesus (Part One)

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 13, 2015
     | 7,066 views

    Throughout the bible God's relationship with his people is often referred to as a marriage relationship. He is our husband, we are his bride. So, what kind of husband is God? Let's find out.

    1) Betrothed. The first part of a Jewish wedding ceremony is the betrothal. We would liken it to an engagement. However, unlike a modern-day engagement that can simply be broken off, a Jewish betrothal could not. In essence the man and woman were married-it’s just that there was a period of ...read more

    Living A Fantasy

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 9, 2017
     | 7,259 views

    God had sent one prophet after another to warn Israel of impending judgment. Rather then heeding the many warnings, they continued to live in a fantasy world, void of reality. Sadly many today continue this path, refusing to admit their great need.

    Living a Fantasy Hosea 6:4, 7:8ff As you study the book of Hosea, God’s love for His people is easily discovered. While they had turned their backs on him, seeking the gods of this world and the pleasures of the flesh, God continued to pursue them by His grace. In the chapters between our last ...read more

    As Jesus sent the twelve out to serve, He paired them according to His divine will and sent them out as He desired. They enjoyed His power and guidance. We too can rest in His power and provision as we seek to serve Him.

    Obedience: The Evidence Of His Love

    Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on Mar 6, 2017
    based on 10 ratings
     | 24,955 views

    Obedience which does not proceed from genuine love to Christ has no reality in it; it is not the genuine offspring of the heart, the real act of the soul. It lacks the essential motive and inspiration of all Christian deeds.

    OBEDIENCE: THE EVIDENCE OF HIS LOVE Study Text: John 14: 15 - 21 Introduction: - Jesus said, "If you love me, you will obey what I command”. Three motives for obedience exist: We can obey because we have to; we can obey because we need to; or we can obey because we want to. - A slave obeys because ...read more
