Why We Believe

Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Jan 23, 2013

Most Christians believe because their parents did and they have since birth. But what reason can we give to those who are not already convinced?

Genesis Chapter Thirty-Seven Series

Contributed by Tom Shepard on Feb 24, 2024

These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Thirty-Seven. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

GENESIS CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that Joseph tells his dreams to his brothers who sell him into slavery.

The Woman With An Issue (Of Blood)

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Nov 30, 2021

“The woman with an issue of blood” is told in three of the four gospels: Matthew, Mark and Luke. Twelve years, many physicians and much expense, still her condition grew worse. By faith, she knew Jesus could heal her. Even if she just touched the hem of his garment, she knew she would be whole.

“The woman with an issue of blood” is told in three of the four gospels: Matthew, Mark and Luke Matthew 9:20-22 A woman, who was diseased with an issue of blood for twelve years, came behind Jesus, and touched the hem of his garment: The woman (within herself): If I may but touch his garment, I ...read more

Jesus Reinstates Peter

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 1, 2025

Failure does not define a believer’s destiny when grace is available. Peter had denied Jesus three times, but that was not the end of his calling. After the resurrection, Jesus went out of His way to find Peter and restore him.

Words are often considered as an effective means of communication between two or more people.

Karen Marie Moning, an American author once remarked: “Words can be twisted into any shape. Promises can be made to lull the heart and seduce the soul. In the final analysis, words mean nothing. They are labels we give things in an effort to wrap our puny little brains around their underlying ...read more

Easter: On Being Afraid

Contributed by Ryan Ferwerda on Mar 31, 2024

In the Gospel of Mark the Easter story, and the whole Gospel, ends with those closest to Jesus being afraid. Just as Jesus met them in their fear, so too will Jesus meet us.

"Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid." (Mark 16:8, NIV) When we look at the four accounts of the Resurrection story in the four gospels, we see a common thread running through at least three of the ...read more

The Transfiguration And The Second Coming Series

Contributed by James O. Davis on Oct 28, 2003

Even though we have read the record of the Transfiguration many times, I feel we have not fully understood that it is a prophetic preview of the Second Coming of Jesus. The Transfiguration was actually a glimpse of Glory and a foretaste of the future.
