Worthy To Be Called Mother

Contributed by Kenneth Trent on May 3, 2003

There is much we can learn from this Canaanite mother. She came to Jesus for healing of her daughter who was demon-possessed. She would not take "no" for an answer. Jesus commended and rewarded her great faith.

WORTHY TO BE CALLED “MOTHER” “Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, ‘Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.’ But He answered her not ...read more

Your Comforting Shepherd

Contributed by R. David Reynolds on Jan 3, 2008

A Humble Walk

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 25, 2010

FBC Gaithersburg: funeral for Julia McNeely Vance, centenarian, physician, daughter of Irish Baptists. Text and poem requested by family. Julia's commitments, nurtured early, brought her into an unusual life. Not delivered by me because of illness.

That classically Irish face looks out at me from the printed page, and I wonder what it must have been like for Julia McNeely, born a century ago, to have grown up and to have followed her calling. On one side were all the customs and expectations of her day and time … that women would live ...read more

Athaliah

Contributed by Rickey Shive on Jan 22, 2002

Athaliah was the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel of Israel and the wife of Jehoram, king of Judah. Our goal in this study is to better understand the mistakes this wicked queen made, learn from her and thus avoid similar mistakes in our walk with God.

The Rivers Of Eden

Contributed by Ian Johnson on Mar 4, 2007

The names and the meaning of the four rivers of Eden give us a clue about what the Holy one of Israel wants to lead us into as we abandon ourselves to Him! This is not the promise for a few, but this is the promise to the “Sons & Daughters” whom Jesus has

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 10, 2020
