Paul’s Trial In Caesarea Philippi (Part 1) Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Oct 15, 2024

Can any man (or woman) truly be greater than the Gospel? Even with all the pomp and ceremony of the Roman culture, Paul stands firm on the premise that life is not about us, but is about Jesus. This is his testimony, and one that we can learn to emulate also!

Transition And Testimony (Matthew 11:1-30)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 14, 2025

Our commentary on Matthew continues with Jesus' testimony about the ministry of John the Baptist and the promise of judgment upon the unbelieving cities who witnessed HIs work yet did not repent.

Matthew 11 begins with what is referred to as a "transitional" passage (v.1). While the disciples were going around the countryside doing the work that Jesus had commissioned, He continued to preach in the cities in Galilee.

Who Killed Jesus?

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Aug 25, 2025

Who killed Jesus? Was it Judas, Caiaphas, or the Jews in general? The Apostles Creed says “He was crucified under Pontius Pilate,” no one else. If we’re looking for someone to blame, the buck stops at Rome.

The Ministry Lifecycle

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jul 19, 2022

Excuses, Excuses

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 23, 2023

Everybody has an excuse for not getting seriously involved with God. And some of those reasons are genuine. But some excuses are just another way of saying “I have more important things to do with my life, don’t bother me.”

Jesus had been preaching and teaching, healing all kinds of sicknesses and casting out demons, up and down the Sea of Galilee for months. Everywhere he went people gathered, waiting for hours - some just to hear him speak, others hoping for the chance to ask him a question or even just to touch ...read more
