Jesus Walks On Water Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 28, 2022

Jesus wants to demonstrate his power through you. He wants you to expect great things. He wants you to attempt great things. Faith is an important aspect for Jesus to do his miracles.

When I was twelve years old I received an early Christmas present. It was early because as soon as school was out for Christmas break our family was traveling from our Indiana home and headed south to the Florida Keys. My Christmas present was Water Walkers! They were like little rafts worn like ...read more

Catch-22 Is A Two-Edged Sword Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 4, 2022

Best of all, when all of us are dead and forgotten, the Church will continue to speak the truth, in season and out.

Homily for Monday of 5th Week in Course Mk 6:53-56 Some time ago the local newspaper ran a story about a Catholic layman who has a healing ministry. The word “miracle” is something like a fighting word in our age of skepticism. We have been trained in science class from our earliest years to ...read more

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.

The Lord Jesus never taught anything about the nature and character of God the Father that He Himself did not demonstrate or model before either His disciples or the people who followed and listened to Him. When we first read of this miracle, mentioned in all four gospels, we see the Divine ...read more

Woman Of Tyre A Mother’s Faithand Dog Food Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Jesus never complimented anyone in a higher way than her, and yet she was a nobody. She was not the wife of a great man, or the mother of outstanding children. We don't even know her name. Her only claim to fame was her faith, for it was great, and it was motivated by her love as a mother.

Lucy Webb Hayes was one of the greatest mothers to ever live in the White House. She was the wife of the 19th President of the United States, Rutherford B. Hayes, who was elected in 1877. She was the first college educated first lady of the United States, but more important, she brought to the ...read more

Defilement Comes From Within Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 22, 2021

It is not the food you eat or religious observation you practice that enables you to claim that you are right with God. Your attitude, behavior, and response to His commands show whether or not your life is defiled before Him.

Worship is supposed to come from a grateful heart and mind, focused on how God's mercy and grace has taken us off of the road to hell and by the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on our behalf, placed us on the narrow road leading to eternal life. Our submission to Him as Lord and Savior, ...read more

He Does All Things Well Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 23, 2021

Mark's Gospel continues to show us the numerous episodes of compassion, care, concern, and confrontation that made up the person, ministry and work of the Lord Jesus. He is beyond our poor words of description.

Our journey through Mark's Gospel continues with these words that describe the work and person of the Lord Jesus Christ; "He has done all things well." (7:37). No one could accuse Him of doing anything that had even a trace of fault, defect, mistake, or ineptness. His words and ...read more

Miracles And The Mind Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 27, 2021

Jesus is practicing psycho-somatic medicine. He is using what is very popular today because it works like a charm-the placebo effect.

Variety is not only the spice of life it is the very essence of life. Consider the bacteria that is all about us and within us. There are about 1500 different basic forms or species of these tiny one celled creatures. If you took 400 trillion of these creatures they would weigh only about 1 pound. ...read more

How To Repent Of All Sins In Your Christian Life

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 27, 2021

Repentance is a beautiful thing. Repentance is a breaking free from the ties and bonds of this world, and the sins that so easily corrupt us, and a process of being transformed into the likeness of Christ.

Mark 7:20-23 (ESV) And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from ...read more

A Lesson In Faith By Way Of The Sea

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021

The Disciples learn about their faith on the sea. The sea is a metaphor for life's events. How strong is your faith when your "sea" gets turbulent.

Jesus's disciples were sent out to the next city that He wanted to visit. They ran into trouble. A weather event took place, and that made it difficult to continue their voyage. They were scared about what was about to happen to them. In the narrative, they did not call out to the LORD or to ...read more

Open Your Eyes

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021

You must learn the language and literary method that the people in Jesus used if you truly want to understand the Scripture. Hillel's method of asking questions is the optimal way.

Near Eastern people in Yeshua's (and later on) wrote in allegories, metaphors, and parables. Is this healing story real? In the minds of Near Eastern people, it does not matter. The lesson of the story is the key. The lesson is that everyone must open their eyes to reading the Torah and live ...read more

Jesus Came For Everyone

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021

Jesus established His church to be open to all who wanted to worship Him. Why does today's not believe this? As a Jewish convert and pastor I have been on the receiving end of Anti-semitism in church.

Jesus’ attitude and language used in the narrative can be shocking to the reader. How can our Lord and Savior treat anyone in the way He is portrayed in this narrative? The pagan woman was looking for her daughter to be cured. Instead of immediately helping her, He calls her a dog, thus insulting ...read more

To Follow Or Not To Follow

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021

Who do you follower? Two followers of Jesus could be discussing an issue that appears to be allowed in the Bible? An even larger question is what do you do when two pathways are before you??

The LORD gave us His Word as a guide for us to have a spotless life. There are so many rules and regulations that it is virtually impossible to live on Earth and not break a code here and there. The LORD established forgiveness into His system because He was aware that this would indeed happen. ...read more

Scripture Or Tradition

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021

When is it time to challenge church leadership as to whether or not they are following the Scripture? The last was 1517 and we called that the Reformation. It is time for another Reformation.

Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Mark 7:1-13 For 2000 years, the church has been creating ordinances for the people of God to follow. Many of these ordinances are not based on biblical Scripture but on the theological beliefs developed over the centuries. For example, in the Catholic Church, a priest ...read more

What And Who Do You Believe In?

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021

What do people believe in today? There are many Christians that say they believe in Christ but their actions say something else. Are you showing Christ to the world?

Why would people think that a tzitzit could heal them? People in Jesus’s day were superstitious. Amulets and unique clothes were considered to have divine powers. Jesus was like the prophets of centuries earlier. These men and women could perform such things. Messianic tradition says that the ...read more
