     | 9,915 views

    1) The Elements, 2) Reason and 3) Benefits of Christ’s Coming.

    When was Jesus born? No, not on December 25. Though Christians had adopted that date by A.D. 336, Christ was born “when shepherds watched their flocks by night.” In other words, most likely in the spring. And no, He wasn’t born in the year 1 A.D. The Bible tells us that Herod the Great ruled ...read more

    Rather than demand His rights as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus expected no special treatment - in fact, He turned the idea of service upside down.

    based on 55 ratings
     | 5,118 views

    This is a basic study of the means by which the Holy Spirit effects the conversion of sinners to Christ.

    We are taught by Christ Jesus in John 3:3, 5, that "Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.... unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." In this passage, we learn that conversion - being born again - involves water and the Spirit of ...read more

    based on 45 ratings
     | 34,592 views

    Encouragement means coming alongside and inputting courage. Where courage has faded away, encouragement is the putting back or refilling of courage. The leaders of the early church gave one man, Barnabas, the nickname "Son of encouragement".

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 16, 2025

    This passage closes out this section and gives us five insights into Jesus' troubled relationship with Israel.

    - This passage provides a nice coda to the section that we have been working through. When taken as a whole, I think these few verses recenter us to the heart of who Jesus was and what He was doing. In particular, this passage highlights Jesus’ relationship with Israel. Of course, that is a ...read more

    The Assembly of God’s New Covenant People is to know Jesus Christ through the act of consecrated remembering. Worship should be conscious of the covenant relationship between God and man, fulfilled in Christ.

The subject of worship commands the attention of many today just because of the endless changes. If there ...read more
