Core 52 Week 11 - The Good Shepherd Series

Contributed by Lanny Smith on Mar 19, 2020

How we handle threats? People tend toward two very different responses to a threat. Our current cultural focus is on the threat of COVID-19.

Antipas: The Perverse And Putrid Puppet Ruler Of Galilee Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 12, 2021

The story of Herod Antipas is one of treachery, murder, lust, cowardice, deceit, and perversion. He was responsible for the murder of John the Baptist and ridiculed Jesus on the day of His execution. The family of Herod had no redeeming qualities and are examples of unredeemed humanity.

It would make sense to say that the ministry of the Lord Jesus was attracting a great deal of attention and some scrutiny by virtue of His wondrous teachings, His compassion to all who came to Him in faith and trust, the way He handled the criticisms and pettiness of the Pharisees, His ability ...read more
