    God Manages His Vineyard Well

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 18, 2025
     | 265 views

    Jesus reworks the old parable of the vineyard to fit the new barbarism. He directs the moral at the human vineyard managers, the religious and secular men who treat the Law and Temple as their personal fiefdom.

    Friday of the Second Week of Lent 2025 St. Matthew’s Gospel is moving toward its climax, which is called Holy Week. Frequently we see Jesus crossing swords verbally with his adversaries. Jesus was an out-of-towner, considered a religious zealot and “hick” by the secular and religious authorities ...read more

    The Gospel Of Matthew: An Introduction

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 3, 2024
     | 496 views

    Matthew's account of the life of the Lord Jesus Christ was written to show his fellow Jews that Jesus was the Promised Messiah, liberating them not from the tyranny of Rome, but from the tyranny and condemnation of sin. His death and resurrection freed all of us from this curse.

    Dr. Frank Turek, the noted Christian apologist, said that the writers of the New Testament did not create the account of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, but that the resurrection created the writers of the New Testament. If Jesus had not risen from the dead, His life would have been ...read more

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Thirty-Seven. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    GENESIS CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that Joseph tells his dreams to his brothers who sell him into slavery. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 37 Joseph relates his dreams to his brethren: they envy him; and, conspiring his death, first cast him into a ...read more

    The Meaning Of "it Is Finished"

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Mar 27, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,195 views

    Jesus has finished everything for us. He sacrificed Himself so that we don't need to face punishment and we may have eternal life. When we accept Him, He would also love to transform our lives, to make our lives meaningful.

    "Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I am thirsty." A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips. When he had ...read more

    When you see the beggar at the corner: • Don’t think, “I am better.” • Whisper, “That’s me, O Lord — I’m the beggar, too.”

    “BEGGARS BEFORE GOD” (Luke 16:19–31; Mark 10:46–52; Matthew 5:3; Revelation 3:17–18) I. PROLOGUE — THE MAN WITH NOTHING Imagine the man under the bridge.

    Worshipers of false gods, to the Hebrew mind, were idiots. But that is not the whole story.

    Friday of the Thirty-second Week Integral Our Introit antiphon today is a prayer that both our Hebrew forefathers and we would recognize as one we are at least tempted to use daily: Let my prayer come into your presence; incline your ear to my cry for help, O Lord. It is from psalm 88, one of the ...read more

    Our churches should be powerhouses of prayer before the throne of God.

    How Wise People Build Wealth Series

    based on 44 ratings
     | 26,489 views

    Wealth is not just the accumulation of money. That would be the wrong target. Wealth is not solely money. In fact, this is not a message of how to achieve your financial dreams. This is a message about how to live right.

    Raised Poor A lot of our perception about wealth and riches comes from the way we were raised. If you were raised in poor conditions, you have a very different view of wealth and what it means than someone who was affluent. Building wealth was always a mystery to me! I grew up in the poorer part ...read more
