In My Father's House

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jun 29, 2021

Here in the 16th chapter of Luke, you will find the only testimony to be found anywhere of a soul that has died without Christ and gone to hell. It is a pitiful thing to listen to him pleading in hell.

The cry of this young man is heartbreaking. It is a plea for mercy and help with none available. Here a young man finds out too late that you must be born again in order to go to heaven. Now he makes another plea, but this time it is not for himself, but for his brothers. He now realizes that those ...read more

Is Jesus What You Expected?

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Feb 20, 2019

Jesus' sermon in his hometown synagogue might not have gone as you would expect. But Jesus shows us that his Word is sometimes welcomed, other times rejected, but ALWAYS powerful.

Expectations. “Do you really think that we’re going to get all that snow that they say we’re supposed to get?” “Have you heard about the frigid temperatures that are predicted?” “Do you think that they’ll cancel school?” The expectations, the anticipation and the excitement was hard to escape. ...read more
