Rock Piles

Contributed by Bobby Brewer on May 21, 2023

Before returning to Galilee, Jesus goes back to the Temple grounds where He’s presented with a woman who’s been caught in the act of adultery. It's a seemingly lose-lose scenario for not only the woman but also Jesus.

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning He came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst 4 they said to Him, “Teacher, this ...read more

The Prayer-Song Of A Patriot

Contributed by Brian Atwood on Jun 26, 2002

The 85th Psalm is often a resource for revival preaching. But often overlooked is the fact that, as a prayer song, it is patriotic in nature.

The individual believer, the church, and the nation, lives or dies by revival. Since we are living in a fallen state, without a recovery process we would eventually erode. We can be very grateful that God installed a process whereby we can be rejuvenated, given new hope and strength to go forward ...read more

Judas Iscariot

Contributed by Jeffrey Cox on Sep 15, 2003

Judas Iscariot was a miracle-working follower of Christ. Yet in the end, he turned out to be one of histories worst sinners. How can we, as beleivers, avoid the same fate?
