The Wounded Friend (4) Series

Contributed by David Richardson on Jul 26, 2005

Friendship is a deeper relationship than the world can offer, or wants to offer. Yet, that is what Jesus offers us. He offers to become our friend.

What are Friends for? Chapter Four The Wounded Friend Isaiah 53:3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. A good bus driver is one that follows the traffic laws, looks ...read more

How To Tell The Truth

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 25, 2010

Monologue, as if the speaker were James, illustrating points by incidents in the life of Jesus. Truth comes with compassion, it does its own convicting, and must be backed with a life of integrity.

One of the peculiarities of the letter of James is that it has so very little direct reference to the life of Jesus. If it was written, as has traditionally been believed, by the James who was the brother of our Lord and who became prominent in the Jerusalem church, then it does seem odd that he ...read more

Mary Magdalene Series

Contributed by Jason Miller on Apr 19, 2010

Mary Magdalene was the first to see the risen Christ? Why? Why not Peter, why not one of the other disciples? What made Mary so special that she was the first? What can we take away from her life to apply to ours?

Mary Magdalene John 20:1-18 Easter isn’t about bunnies and eggs and candy, it’s about the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to continue my series on the Lesser known People of the Bible, but as I sat down and started ...read more
