     | 9,310 views

    The miracles of Jesus are significant, not because they reveal a miracle worker, but because they reveal the glory of the Son of God.

    Introduction We come to yet another miracle. Jesus the miracle worker keeps pulling out one miracle after another.

    On 9-11 our nation needed someone to tell us they understood our fears, our enemy and our future. It needed someone to say they had a plan to deal with our enemy and that together we would overcome. Essentially, that's what Revelation 4 is all about.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 12,326 views

You believe in Jesus, you follow Christ, and you know God yet your life is aimless and meaningless. Many ...read more

    In a world where so many people know so much, its good to be reminded of what is most important to know. This is summarized in John 9 by the words of the beggar who was healed: “One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.”

    John 9:1-41 The Gospel of John is a wonderful book. Its 21 chapters are organized a little differently than the others. He tends to group themes together in order to that the reader can see the theological connections between events, and places, and the teachings of Christ. I have to admit ...read more
