Antipas: The Perverse And Putrid Puppet Ruler Of Galilee Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 12, 2021

Jesus Christ: The Messiah, Not A Meal Ticket Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 14, 2021

When Jesus fed the five thousand, as recorded in all four gospels, He demonstrated what He taught about God being the Provider of our needs (Matthew 6:25-34). Most of the crowd, however, wanted food, not faith.

Running To Jesus

Contributed by Thomas Andrufski on Mar 17, 2021

Stilling The Storm Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 27, 2021

In verse 39 we see the deity of Christ. Only God can rebuke the wind and calm the sea. The only reason Bible writers could put such contrasting pictures of Jesus side by side is because they were true. He was truly man, and truly God.

Madness Meets Its Master Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 27, 2021

There are many implications that grow out of this unique demonstration of Christ's Lordship, but the primary lesson concerns that Lordship itself. Jesus makes it as clear as possible that He has come to destroy the works of the devil.

People have to be saved before they can be saved. That is, they have to be delivered from temporal death in order to be delivered from eternal death.

Everyone of us lives with a doctor, and to make it even better the doctor we live with can write prescriptions and get the medicine delivered immediately.

The Power Of Touch Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 27, 2021
