Shouldn’t We Put Family First?

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 20, 2013

A look at the difficult passages where Jesus calls us to "hate" our families. Why would He ask something like that?

Making Jesus Real

Contributed by Brian Williams on Sep 27, 2023

The Love of God was put on display for all the world to see. Those who believed became the personal recipients of that love. As His family we want continue to make the love of Jesus obvious to others, through our words and our actions, we cannot divorce one from the other.

We took this summer to discuss many different philosophical as well as biblical arguments that point to God’s existence. Yet amongst all the arguments, I believe one of the greatest testimonies for the existence of a personal God is His love (1 John 4:8). Love is at the core of the Christian faith ...read more

Study 5 - "Jesus - God Or Lunatic?" Series

Contributed by Eric Sellgren on Feb 7, 2002

Study 5 - Jesus claimed such tremendous things that He was either mad, (as His family once claimed), or telling the truth that He was God

Jesus made many other claims than those we saw in Study 4. For instance: 1. He claimed to FORGIVE SINS. To the paralysed man Jesus did not say, "God will pardon your sins one day". He Himself pronounced that the man`s sins were forgiven! The Jews immediately challenged Him: "Who can forgive sins, ...read more

The Day Jesus Wept Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 22, 2012

Odd things about this story: Why does the Bible tells us "Jesus wept"? And why didn’t Jesus "show up" a few days earlier and make sure Lazarus didn’t die? Why allow this close personal friend to die, and allow his friends and family to mourn?
