    Contributed by Dr. Madana Kumar, Phd on Apr 6, 2018
     | 6,171 views

    Jesus knew that he was going to suffer and die. Dying men generally write a will to bequeath their wealth and property to their loved ones. Did Jesus write a will?

    The Wonder of Christs Love as shown through Jesus’ written will before His death How do we know that someone loves us?

    What Does It Mean That Jesus Was A ‘ransom’ For Us? Series

     | 5,153 views

    A look at the correct understanding of "ransom" (it's not an extortion) and four key ideas that help us understand it.

    PAYING "RANSOM"? Does this mean that God gave into extortion? - 1 Timothy 2:6. - A ransom is a price paid for someone’s freedom. - It’s an easy idea to get off-track on if you don’t watch it. - How so? Sometimes a ransom is basically extortion. Someone kidnaps someone and ...read more

    Another "Jesus Saves Us From Our Storms" Sermon

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Aug 17, 2014
     | 5,166 views

    The message of Jesus' salvation and care for us in the midst of our storms is always relevant and new. Every day, new storms threaten to overtake us, if it weren't for the might of Jesus and His careful watch over us.

    Today’s Gospel is very familiar to us all. We all love to hear of Jesus walking on the water, and Peter’s feeble attempt to walk to Jesus, from which Jesus saved him. And if you’re like me, you’re probably thinking that you know exactly what today’s sermon will be ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 35,681 views

    We must take a stand for God. Just like the Hebrew Boys, we too will be tempted for what we believe. Our God whom we serve can deliver. History and the Bible prove that He can. Therefore He will again. Our problem is that we forget so easily.

    EVEN IF OUR GOD DOES NOT DELIVER US, WE STILL WILL NOT BOW DANIEL 3: 1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. 2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather ...read more

    Can God's Love Toward Us Change?

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 27, 2021
     | 2,120 views

    There is a quote going around that essentially says, "No matter how good we try to be God cannot love us more and no matter how bad we are God cannot love us less." What does God's Holy Word say about that?

    Can God’s Love Toward Us Change?

    Romans 5:8 shows the power of the love of God in four ways. Its an intervening love. Its a demonstrative love. Its a focused love. Its an indiscriminate love.
