Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Dec 6, 2011

Paul writes to the churches in Galatia about how being under the Law is like being a child but when we are set free in Christ we finally come of age as God’s people.

Sadducees Sadly Mistaken (2004)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 23, 2022

The intention of the question of our "case in point" (Luke 20:27-40) was designed by those who composed it to make a fool of Jesus. It backfired. The scripture tells us that when Jesus answered that question, no one dared to ask Him any other questions.

SADDUCEES SADLY MISTAKEN Text: Luke 20:27-40 Bruce Larson made the comment that the question that the Sadducees posed to Jesus was a test that was designed to determine whether or not He was a conservative or a liberal.

Both of them had the experience of being on a storm tossed ship with pagans. These superficial similarities, however, become material for a ...read more

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 21, 2023

Instead of telling us what faith is...the Bible shows! For our sermon together let’s focus our attention on the faith of one Canaanite woman as an example of “great faith.”

“Faith is….” How would you finish that phrase? You might quote the classic Bible passage that defines faith. Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Or perhaps you would come up with a string of synonyms for faith. You might say, ...read more
