    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 8, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,490 views

    The bitterness that we feel when we first realise what we have done is compared to the bitterness of losing an only son. Perhaps in this we begin to understand what it cost the LORD God to secure the free gift of our salvation.

God ‘so loved’ us that He sent His Son Jesus into this world to die for our sins (John 3:16). Christ died and rose again, and ever intercedes ...read more

    How To Give A Defense For Your Hope

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 10, 2013
     | 5,834 views

    We're supposed to be prepared to give a defense for the hope that is within us. But how are we to go about that? Using Paul's defense in Acts 26 we'll lay the ground work for sharing your hope with others.

    In Acts 26:1-23, the apostle Paul is standing before King Agrippa and makes a compelling defense for the hope that was in him (Acts 26:1 ESV, 21:6; 1 Peter 3:15). As we read his defense (or sermon if you will,) we’ll learn some valuable tips that will help us all in presenting a defense for ...read more
