The God Of Hope

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jul 12, 2022

Even though the English word “hope’ may have an element of uncertainty in it, the Greek word in the New Testament always speaks of a sure expectation of some good outcome or positive result. There is a certainty in the hope given in the biblical record.

There are at least three shocks to the 1st century Jews who heard the Parable. 1. That the Father gave the son his inheritance before his death; 2.That the Father ran to embrace the wayward son and 3. The Father simply forgave the Son

Story: I have to tell you that, in continental Europe, the Swiss are known as being as parsimonious. In fact they make the Scots look generous - apologies to any Scots listening.

Addressing A Crowd (Acts 22)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Sep 10, 2025

How did Paul address a crowd of fellow Jews?

Would Paul’s willingness to walk into danger allow him to address many Jews and the supreme council, the Sanhedrin? Does preaching the Gospel sometimes involve great personal sacrifice? Let’s look at Acts 22. Why would Paul address the crowd in their sacred language? “Brethren and fathers, hear ...read more

Today we have the privilege of working through Ephesians 2:11-22. Let's turn there, and read just the first word. "Therefore." What "therefore" signals, is that Paul is going to draw some conclusions, and an application, from everything he's just said. But it's ...read more

Jesus Answering The First-Century "karens" He Encountered Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 13, 2025

All of them were survivors, in the strict sense, each party with its own quirks. The Pharisees stood behind the Law.

Friday of the Fifteenth Week in Course 2025 Have you ever wondered just why it was that the Pharisees, who seemed to be everywhere Jesus went, were such prigs? These days we might even call the “Karens,” although I’ve known real Karens and they weren’t so judgmental as the Pharisees. I think the ...read more

Called Out: The Role Of The Church

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 14, 2022

Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, and no one else (Matthew 16:13-19). We have strayed from what the Scriptures teach about the church's purpose and responsibilities and instead allowed the world's opinions take precedence over what we are to be and do.

When we hear the word "church", most of us think of a building or membership in a particular denomination with standards, beliefs, and guidelines for worship, order, the reading and use of Scripture, and sermons. The problem is that far too many people now view the church as a symbol ...read more

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Dec 18, 2025

Why do the Jews celebrate Purim?

Does God protect those who are loyal to Him and carry them safely into His kingdom? Let’s begin in Esther 9 and 10. Does evil produce the exact opposite of what wicked people expect?
