Jesus has been engaged in teaching and conversation with others (see chapter 11 and 12:1-12) but some of the ...read more

    Christmas this year is very different from before because of the pandemic. But God can use this challenging situation to bring back the true meaning of Christmas.

    “If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.” (1 Corinthians 15:19-20 ESV)

    The resurrection of Jesus Christ is central to the Christian faith and without the resurrection there can be no Christianity. It is significant because when Jesus rose from the dead, He proved that He was exactly who He claimed to be, the Son of God, and had accomplished what He came to ...read more

    Do you ever wonder what it means to “believe?” Today we are going to consider what it means to “believe” by examining the passage from Numbers 21 alongside the gospel reading from John 3.

    Is it true that you just believe in Jesus and you are saved?

    Jesus made strong statements about His "body and blood" that could be misinterpreted as "cannibalism." However, Jesus meant something so much deeper as the Atoning sacrifice for sin.

    JESUS IS CAUSING QUITE A STIR AMONGST THE PEOPLE. THERE IS A RISING DISPUTE AMONGST THE JEWISH LEADERS INSINUATING A POSSIBILITY OF CANNIBALISM. MANY FOLLOWERS ARE TAKING THE WORDS OF JESUS LITERALLY THAT HE IS SPEAKING OF EATING REAL HUMAN FLESH AND BLOOD. IS THIS FOR REAL? JESUS DOESN’T SEEM TO ...read more
