Jesus Can.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Sep 5, 2022

These aren’t hypotheticals. Those are the people Jesus healed, the woman with the issue of blood, the woman at the well, the tax collector, the leper, and the woman caught in the act of adultery.

Jesus Can. Hebrews 13:8TPT Do you ever feel like you’ve missed your window of opportunity? How about the woman with the issue of blood? What about the woman at the well? The tax collector? Maybe the leper? Maybe you’ve lost count of how many specialists you’ve visited, or how many ...read more

The Testimony Of Jesus Series

Contributed by Christina Milanderb on Sep 7, 2022

"This light of mine, I am going to let it shine." More than a cute kid's song, this is a command "arise and shine for your Light has come."

The reason the enemy hates us is because we were created in the image of God and because we carry the testimony of Jesus. When we get born again we become witnesses of and a living testimony of Jesus that yes, He died but rose again and is now alive and well living inside of us and we are called by ...read more

Jesus Is Real

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 24, 2021

Whether it is two young Mormons who knock on your door or you decide to read the Qur’an for yourself, searching for the real answers in life is very different than most of our life’s pursuits.

Jesus The Rock Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 24, 2024

The Old Testament knows God as the Rock. But Jesus is also The rock. He is the only firm foundation to build our lives on. But we need to learn from the ancient Israelites. They were unfaithful and most were destroyed. We must not make the same mistake.

The Transfiguration Of Jesus

Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 20, 2024

In Jesus's Transfiguration, He reveals who we truly are and who we are to become by the grace of God.

I suspect. Most of us look in a mirror at some point each day. We check our hair, makeup, teeth, and clothes. Mirrors show us what we look like. While it might be important to know what we look like, it’s more important to know who we are. That’s what this holy Feast of the Transfiguration is ...read more

Jesus The Bridegroom

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Nov 9, 2024

We don't talk enough about Jesus the bridegroom. It's one of Jesus' most wonderful titles. It helps us to understand who he is, the kind of relationship he wants with us, and who we are.

Some of us have been Christians for a long time and we’ve heard that Jesus is sometimes called the bridegroom. But perhaps some of us have never heard this title of Jesus. I don’t think churches talk about it often enough. It’s one of the most important and wonderful titles of Jesus. When we ...read more

The Politics Of Jesus

Contributed by Tj Long Jr on Oct 30, 2023

Christians think they align with Jesus' views. Some are surprised, others offended. Jesus’ campaign sounds like a liberal utopia because we’re not ready to let go of hate, we’re not ready to trust in God and not in the law. We have to transcend hate and show the mercy we’ve been shown by God.

There are only two shows that I’ve ever watched the entire series. One of which I still own on DVD and have watched the entire series 3 times. If there was any show that I’d love to see still running today it would be this one. I’d love to see how it would interpret and respond to the issues of our ...read more
