Provoking Thoughts From (3 John)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

Again, I want to bring to your attention the fact that second and third John are very small books,

However, there is a contrast between second and third John. For example, Remember, we mentioned in the previous message that some ...read more

Baptism Means Walking With God (January 9, 2022)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 11, 2022

God's Question That I Must Answer Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Nov 13, 2021

Are You The King Of The Jews?

Contributed by Paul Green on Nov 27, 2021

Jesus was the King who never looked like a King, the King who never acted like a king – at least not in the way the world understands royalty. He came the first time, 2000 years ago, as the servant king, and he is coming again, in power and in glory, as the king over all kings.

Today is the last Sunday of the Christian year, traditionally recognised as ‘The Feast of Christ the King’. Next week is Advent - the start of a new Christian year, but today we conclude the old ecclesiastical year with a proclamation of the kingship of Christ. ‘The Feast of Christ the King’ is a ...read more

The Dark Night Of The Soul

Contributed by Dr. John D. Wentworth on Jan 6, 2022

The phrase “dark night of the soul” comes from a poem by St. John of the Cross (1542-1591), a Spanish Carmelite monk. According to the poet, the “dark night of the soul” is synonymous with traveling the “narrow way” that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 7:13-14.

TITLE: THE DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL TEXT: 2 Cor. 4:7-10 “But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but ...read more
