Is Jesus Your Teacher? Series

Contributed by Greg Nance on Feb 9, 2004

If a fully trained student is like his teacher, we need to seriously consider who we allow to hold that position in our life and in our children’s lives.

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 12, 2012

Weakness is not something valued by our culture or this age. But the death of Jesus shows us the strength we can all find in the weakest of moments.

Jesus, The Demon-Slayer

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jul 15, 2015

Every single one of us will find it necessary to offer the courage of endurance throughout our lives. The easiest way for evil to win is not through bombs or bullets, but through the slow erosion of commitment and courage to stand against the current.

Contributed by Robert Irvine on May 7, 2024

Jesus Christ was acquainted with grief. Every day in Roman-occupied Judea there would have been executions, and crucifixions just as Jesus suffered. Grief would have been all around.
