Love Is A Four-Letter Word

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on May 18, 2022

Jesus Our Midnight Friend

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 10, 2023

In this chapter, Jesus talks about a midnight friend who shares his three loaves. Jesus is our midnight friend. We can go to our Jesus even at late night. Most of the time, when our friends visit us, we have nothing to offer them.

And He said to them, “Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves; 6 for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; 7 and he will answer from within and say, ‘Do not trouble me; the door is now ...read more

The  Danger  Of  An  Empty  House  (Christ The King Sunday 2022)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 18, 2022

Consider what provoked Jesus to teach this parable.  Jesus had healed a man who was unable to speak. His opponents in the crowd accused Jesus of working for the devil (Luke 11:15) whose works Jesus came to destroy (I John 3:8).
