The Responsibility Of Evangelism

And That's Final -- Except For This One Last Thing... Series

Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Aug 29, 2002

John gives a perfect ending in chapter 20, but then he goes and gives us chapter 21. After saying in chapter 20, "these things are written that you might believe, and in believing have life," what could possibly be important enough to add to that?

John 20:28-21:25 Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!" Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But ...read more

Going Public With Your Faith Series

Contributed by Timothy Peck on Nov 26, 2001

Love Looks Like Something

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Feb 1, 2004

Epiphany 4: What we say we believe and what we do can sometimes be at odds with each other. If we are to live out the mission that God has given the Church, love looks like his people sharing Jesus with others.

What believer has not been touched by the beautiful ’love chapter’? These words to the Corinthians are almost poetic in nature, and yet so authentic that they touch the soul. In these words, God gives us a beautiful description of what ‘love’ looks like: "If I speak in the tongues of men and of ...read more
