At The Feet Of Jesus

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Nov 27, 2020

Today I would like to take you to another event that took place during Jesus' time and connect it with a similar event that took place earlier in Jesus’ ministry on earth.

How Can We Show The Lord We Love Him ?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 16, 2021

As we take a close look at this text, we see a picture of the Lord and the twelve disciples gathered for their Passover supper.

The disciples had the question of who was the greatest among them on their minds, but Jesus had something entirely different on His mind. He was thinking of the one that would BETRAY HIM! One of the most painful experiences in life is to be betrayed by someone we love. • We all know the ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 27, 2021

Almost everyone loves to watch cowboy movies. Illus: They advertise the Western Channel on television by saying, “There is a little bit of cowboy in all of us!”

God Gives The Earth To Us (Joshua 10:29-11:23) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 12, 2022

Joshua is systematically killing off the nephilim, so that God's people can inherit the land, and have true "rest."

If you walk up to a random Christian in church, and ask them what the book of Joshua is about, they will tell you it's about the conquest of the land God promised Israel. But consider this: we are almost through Joshua 10, and at this point in the book, Joshua has conquered three cities: ...read more

Life In The Son

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

In Acts 3:15, the Bible calls Jesus the “author of life.” It is of utmost importance that we realize that the origin of abundant life is Jesus Christ; and that His abundant life is everlasting, both now and in the age to come eternal.

In Acts 3:15 Jesus Christ is called “the Prince of life.” Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10b). John 1:4 tells us, “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” 2 Peter 1:3 declares of Jesus that “His divine power has ...read more
