The Divine Mysteries Of Jesus Christ

Breaking Point: Faith That Saves Vs. Faith That Doesn't Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 10, 2021

At the height of popularity, Jesus makes hard statements that thin the crowds. He says many of his disciples didn't really believe. And they fell away. What's the difference between the faith that saves and the kind of faith that doesn't? This story reveals that truth.

They no longer claim to believe, they do not practice what Christ taught, they no longer ...read more

Jesus Christ: The Messiah, Not A Meal Ticket Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 14, 2021

When Jesus fed the five thousand, as recorded in all four gospels, He demonstrated what He taught about God being the Provider of our needs (Matthew 6:25-34). Most of the crowd, however, wanted food, not faith.

The Lord Jesus never taught anything about the nature and character of God the Father that He Himself did not demonstrate or model before either His disciples or the people who followed and listened to Him.

Jesus Feeds His Hungry People

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 14, 2021

When we go to God through Christ, we will never walk away hungry. When we draw near to God with our whole heart, we will never walk away, disappointed. Because for us, our faithful Saviour will always provide enough—more than enough.

If you’ve recently prayed the Lord’s Prayer, then you made the request to your Father in heaven that He would give you this day “your daily bread.” I wonder if that’s a petition we make with a lot of sincerity. Are we really concerned about getting what we need to maintain our bodies? Is there ...read more
