    Emotions

    We all have emotions as did Jesus, Mary and Martha.

    Text: Now Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died” (John 11:21). When that verse is isolated one gets the feeling that Martha is casting blame on Jesus because His absence brought about the death of her brother Lazarus. You can almost feel the emotion of ...read more

    We remember that Jesus rose from the dead, but do we remember that He raised others during His ministry on Earth, and this is our surety of eternal life.

    John 11:25 “Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life.” INTRODUCTION Luke 16:19-31 (read), and that is the problem, Jesus did die and was resurrected, and still the Jewish leaders did not believe. We have a tendency to remember that there is only one resurrection from the dead, the ...read more

    What Happens When We Don't Believe?

     | 3,978 views

    Unbelief is very stubborn. In fact, there are some who will simply not believe in Jesus, no matter what evidence is offered.

    Read entire chapter 11. What you believe about Jesus determines what you do with him. Two shopkeepers were bitter rivals. Their stores were directly across the street from each other, and they would spend each day keeping track of each other’s business. If one got a customer, he would smile in ...read more
