As the events unfold, I wonder which character you most relate to. Which character is ...read more

    Jesus begins his public ministry, and if you’ve ever wondered what he preached as he started, here it is: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."

    INTRO: Heaven. The great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving. To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it—but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor. –Oliver Wendell Holmes (Progress, ...read more

    The Christian faith is different from any other religion in the world. This was true in the ancient near east and it is as true today as it was then. Being unique doesn't necessarily make something right. What is it that makes Yahweh the one true God and different from the rest?

    In our study tonight Jesus is drawing to a close His teaching for His disciples. The hour is at hand and His arrest is in the very near future! The disciples have a sense that something is going on, but their spiritual perception is dim and limited.

We easily get confused when reading ...read more
