Jesus Before Pilate Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Apr 3, 2023

No Satisfaction

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 10, 2025

Solomon’s relentless search for meaning—in wisdom, work, and wealth—ended in emptiness, proving that life “under the sun” cannot satisfy the human heart. Lasting joy and fulfillment come only from God through Jesus Christ, who alone turns life’s vanity into eternal victory.

Worry has become so normal that many assume it is simply part of being human. But Jesus calls His disciples to something radically different. He calls us to trust.

Pure Devotion To Christ

Contributed by Bill Sullivan on Sep 27, 2011

We can be led astray from pure devotion to Christ. That's why the apostle Paul and Jesus Himself warned us against deception, and encouraged us to purity of doctrine.
