    God takes the initiative to invite us to connect with Him. Many are too preoccupied with things, too busy making a living, and too caught up by other loves, to be able to make a wise choice.

    Someone said (in verse 15), "Blessed is the man who will eat at the feast in the Kingdom of God." To be eating at the feast in God’s Kingdom is a blessing. - God wants us to fellowship with Him. He wants us to come back into His Kingdom. - God is inviting us today, and Jesus wants the people to ...read more

    A perspective in Luke 24: 36-48 Yes! Jesus is alive. He is out. Jesus continues to invite everyone to "Touch and see," to be reassured that his presence is real and that his intentions for forgiveness are real.

    Luke 24: 36-48 The Man Is Out. A man was released from prison recently after serving his term. After many years in jail he still maintains his innocence. What a horrible thought to suffer lies and false accusations from people that one knows, and then spending many years in jail when one is ...read more

    Caring God

    When we touch upon the love of GOD, we plunge ourselves into an ocean whose depths have never been fathomed. It is all-embracing, all-inviting, all-supporting, and all-supplying.

    Opening illustration: For thousands of families in Kenya, seven cows are more valuable than a girl’s future. Those cows, a typical bridal dowry in Maasai culture, prove so tempting that most fathers in rural areas decide their daughter’s education will end and marriage begin by age 13. ...read more

     | 1,287 views

    In His "state of humiliation" as theologians say, Jesus' glory was most deeply hidden! Through these verses from Colossians we are invited to see the true glory of King Jesus!

    “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” All four of the Gospel writers (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) tell us about the written notice of the charge against Jesus—and for which Pontius Pilate crucified him.
