Do You Believe, Theophilus? Series

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Jul 17, 2021

Luke taught Theophilus what had been delivered unto him by eyewitnesses concerning Jesus. This teaching included not only the life of Jesus, but it included Old Testament prophecy and theological and spiritual lessons too.

Cities Of Refuge Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 1, 2022

These cities of refuge were a fore shadow of the Lord Jesus who was to come to save us, and protect us hundreds of years later. God had ordained this beautiful plan of salvation through Jesus and the city of refuge is a trailer of God's plan.

Today’s meditation is based on Numbers 35:6,“You are to give the Levites six cities of refuge to which any of you can escape if you kill someone accidentally. In addition, give them forty-two other cities” (GNB) In the above mentioned verse we understand that the Lord had commanded that six cities ...read more

The Book Of Hebrews: Old Testament Meets The New In Christ

The human mind must seek unity in all its knowledge...The method of ...read more
