Character Study Of Manasseh Series

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 24, 2025

Manasseh's life is a story of rebellion, judgment, and restoration. He was one of the most wicked kings of Judah, yet when he truly repented, God forgave and restored him. His life reminds us that no one is too sinful to be redeemed, and that God’s mercy is greater than our failures.

Jesus Loves Sinners Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021

Jesus is the shepherd who loves the sheep whose performance is the worst. He loves in spite of your poor obedience, your poor performance. No one has been more inclusive of sinners than Jesus.

These three stories, finding a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a lost son, form a pyramid where the three show us the same truth but each side shows a different shade and nuance to God’s love. ...read more
