Unbelief And Faith

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 8, 2017

What does unanswered prayer say about our level of faith? Many of us believe we're walking in more faith than we really are.

A couple of years ago I came face to face with a very sobering and heart-wrenching revelation: my faith was not where I thought it was. But I didn’t know that until “I didn’t see” the faith results I was seeking. I had convinced myself that my faith was at a place where it was not. A very dear ...read more

Temple Tantrum Series

Faith To Believe Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 16, 2018

Jesus declared we could move mountains if we have faith and do not doubt. Did He really mean that? What are the implications of that for believers today?

Faith to Believe Mark 11: 22-26 Clearly our text today deals with faith we are expected to have as believers. Faith is something we often discuss but fail to exercise as we should. It is easy to walk by faith when all is well, but it is an entirely different situation when we face adversity and an ...read more

Challenged In The Temple Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 23, 2018

As Jesus entered the Temple for the second time during Passion Week, He immediately met opposition. The chief priests, scribes, and elders had conspired against Him. As we strive to serve the Lord, the enemy will bring opposition against us too.

Our Savior Has Come

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 24, 2018

The people of Israel were looking for a Messiah but when He arrived they could not recognize him. Do we recognize Jesus as our Messiah today?

Jesus And The Temple

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 13, 2018

Why did Jesus lose His temper in the Temple when He saw the traders and money changers there? The context explains everything - they were on the take! Jesus was a danger to their profits and had to go.

The temple John 2:13-25 The reading we have just heard from John's gospel might seem rather strange especially as it is at the start of his gospel; but ironically the synoptic gospels have this incident in the temple at the start of His last week just after His triumphant entry into Jerusalem - ...read more

Why Did Jesus Die?

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 24, 2018

Jesus died a very brutal death and Christian know that by his death we have life. But at the time what were the charges that the Jews had to warrant death and why did they pass Jesus over to the Romans to do their dirty work?

Why did Jesus Die? The ministry of Jesus lasted just over 3 years and we have the gospels that relate and record that ministry. A wealth of material to guide our Christian living, to offer us hope and to give us a strong faith. And yet out of all the gospels that last week of Jesus predominates, ...read more
