    Because of our sin, we can’t come in; but since Jesus died on the cross to take our sin, we can now come in.

    Adventures In Missing The Point Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Jul 7, 2025
     | 456 views

    As Jesus makes a turn toward Jerusalem, we learn that the disciples still have so much to learn - but so do we.

    In his book Mere Christianity, CS Lewis uses an illustration to note how different it is to learn something than it is to apply that thing. His illustration centered on the difference between a map and being out on the water. In two dimensions, a map can look quite straight forward. You can see ...read more

    Circumcision Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 22, 2024
     | 906 views

    Using OT Scripture, Paul proves in Romans 4:9-12 that circumcision is not a prerequisite for justification. Justification is by faith alone. Vital principles applicable today are taught in this passage of Scripture.

    Intro Romans 4 naturally divides into sections: 1. Justification is by faith, not by works (vv.1-8). 2. Justification by faith is not dependent on ritual (vv. 9-16). 3. The kind of faith that leads to justification is exemplified by Abraham (vv. 17-22). 4. Justification is available now for all ...read more

This is what we celebrate at Christmas, the infant Jesus born to Mary, a baby who is not only a normal human child but who is also the God of the ...read more

    He Knows My Cry

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 10, 2025
     | 178 views

    Jesus knows the deepest cry of the human soul; He entered our darkness, carried our pain, and rises as the God who hears us.

    There are moments in the human journey when language becomes too small. Grief too large. Silence too heavy. And the soul… too tired to pretend. Moments when we don’t simply pray — we cry. Not the gentle kind. Not the kind you can tuck into a sentence and offer politely at prayer meeting. I’m ...read more

    based on 19 ratings
     | 11,031 views

    Love is an uncommon force that copes with suffering. By enduring the pain, sorrow and anger we are exhibiting God’s unconditional love. People who are mature in love endure the pain of selfish, critical and immature scoffers.
