    The woman who anointed Christ regardless of what others knew or thought about her, and her act of love is memorialized by Christ. I believe that scripture shows us this woman has a name -- Mary the sister of Martha and Lazarus.

    By Pastor Milton O. Bradford, Good Hope Baptist Church Cleveland Ohio Luke 7:36-50 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat. And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at ...read more

    Ahab and Elijah meet face to face. Ahab thought he had the true god, but only a counterfeit. Elijah knew he had to one and only True God, and knew what it took for God’s fire to fall.

    WHEN THE FIRE FALLS There are certain times when God moves in a very special way that brings the fire upon people. Fire as we know does something special. It purifies, consumes, motivates and shows final judgment. Here the fire is the symbol, evidence and manifestation of God’s Presence and ...read more

    Everyone was hoping for, even expecting, the Messiah in Jesus’ day. But, he disappointed everyone, thought Messiah would come as a conqueror. Isaiah’s first Servant Song shows their expectations to have been badly misinformed.

    What must Mary have thought when she first opened the door and found a group of Iranian astrologers, there to celebrate the birth of her son? These characters seem so inappropriate in the Christmas narrative, but maybe that’s the point?
