    Ash Wednesday - A Blessed Path To Restoration

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 18, 2022
     | 3,369 views

    As you begin your Lenten journey, I pray that God would pour out his Holy Spirit upon you, empowering you to take up your cross and follow Jesus. I pray that both the strength and the boldness of Jesus would be yours as others look at you, and see a disciple of Jesus, following by His side.

    The Blessed Path to Restoration Lamentation 3:37-42; 55-58 NLT “Who can command things to happen without the Lord’s permission? Does not the Most High send both calamity and good? Then why should we, mere humans, complain when we are punished for our sins? Instead, let us test and examine our ways. ...read more

    Joseph's Dreams

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 6, 2016
     | 6,649 views

    When it comes to dreaming, many readers think Matthew is the dreamer by the way he uses Old Testament Scripture to back up his story. Is Matthew too anxious to justify his story that he twists Scripture to suit his purpose?

    Matthew 2:19-23 Joseph’s Dreams 12/22/02 D. Marion Clark Introduction Do you sometimes wake up tired because of vivid dreams? I imagine Joseph had that problem. Matthew records four dreams through which an angel of the Lord spoke to him. The first dream was to assure him that he could ...read more

    Jesus' Trial Of Pilate

    Contributed by Donovan Myers on Jun 15, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,210 views

    Who was really on trial? Jesus or Pilate?

    The entire story seems to be about Pilate grappling with the issues of truth and justice. The entire story is also about the Jewish leaders and their pathetic and flagrant disregard for life and innocence. But the story is also about Jesus’ steadfast commitment to the people for whom he came. ...read more

    As Christ was lifted between heaven and earth upon the cross, He uttered seven statements as He hung dying to provide redemption for fallen humanity. The first was a prayer to the Father, one in which Christ sought forgiveness for those responsible for the crucifixion.

    Father, Forgive Them Luke 23:34 Luke 23:33a – And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him.

    In nearly every aspect of a Christians life, they feel like they’re on a treadmill. They can never quite do enough or be quite good enough. And just when they think they are up to speed, someone turns up the machine, and they are playing catch-up again.

    Treadmill Christianity Titus 3:3-7 In 2001 we were about to have our first child and I decided that if I was going to be the dad that would play catch, and soccer in the yard then I needed to get into better shape.

They enjoyed every advantage. They lived in a perfect environment, were each married to the perfect person (in ...read more
