Contributed by Daniel Habben on Jan 20, 2013

With the First Plague God demonstrates his power AND his grace.

A Futile Effort Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 13, 2019

God spoke to Jonah, calling him to go and cry against Nineveh. Foolishly, Jonah thought he could flee the presence of God. However, God intended for Nineveh to hear a warning, and He intended Jonah to deliver that warning. It is futile to try and flee God's presence!

A Futile Effort Jonah 1: 1-10 Having considered the introduction for Jonah, I want to remind us of the major theme of the book. Most tend to focus solely on Jonah’s miraculous deliverance from the belly of the great fish, but that is just one scene from this account in Scripture. In fact, that ...read more

Folded By Jesus

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Jun 25, 2023

What it means to be folded is, to beat someone up, or the newer past tense version of that, to receive a beat-down. Now Jesus does not physically beat any one up, but He sure delivers a spiritual pounding.

Folded by Jesus Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the ...read more

Jesus Christ Proclaimed Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 8, 2017

Mark jumps right into the life and ministry of Jesus, proclaiming Him as the Son of God. The Gospel opens with John the Baptist, preaching a message of repentance in preparation for the coming of Christ. He too proclaimed His deity.

Jesus Christ Proclaimed Mark 1: 1-8 As we begin our study in Mark’s Gospel, it is interesting to note that he doesn’t offer any genealogy of Christ, the events surrounding His birth, or any details about His childhood. These would have been essential to reach a Jewish audience, but ...read more
