Angels Protect Baby Jesus Lesson 4 Series

Contributed by Elmer Towns on Nov 10, 2025

Transformation At The Jordan

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 2, 2025

The Jordan River that was overflowing miraculously parted for the Israelites, in that same River Jordan Naaman was healed of his leprosy, and Jesus was baptized in the same river. Miracles will happen in our lives when we too can trust God fully, and obey His Word implicitly.

Today’s meditation is based on Joshua 3:13, “When the priests who carry the Covenant Box of the LORD of all the earth put their feet in the water, the Jordan will stop flowing, and the water coming downstream will pile up in one place." (GNB) These are the words that Joshua received from God ...read more

The Trinity- Triune God

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Aug 7, 2024

In contrast to the polytheism of the heathen world with its many gods and idols, the Christian faith centers in one God. This God, however, is revealed to be a Trinity, including the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Though, the word “Trinity” is not found in the Bible, yet scholars, Church history and traditions have validated it over the past 2,000 years along with many other theological concepts not found explicitly in the Bible. There are passages of scriptures found in the Bible that have hints of a ...read more
