Why Did Jesus Die?

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 24, 2018

Jesus died a very brutal death and Christian know that by his death we have life. But at the time what were the charges that the Jews had to warrant death and why did they pass Jesus over to the Romans to do their dirty work?

Why did Jesus Die? The ministry of Jesus lasted just over 3 years and we have the gospels that relate and record that ministry. A wealth of material to guide our Christian living, to offer us hope and to give us a strong faith. And yet out of all the gospels that last week of Jesus predominates, ...read more

"do You Love Me More Than These?"

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Feb 15, 2025

With Valentine's Day now passed, we need to examine our hearts and ask the same question Jesus asked Peter after His resurrection, "Do you love Me more than these?"

John chapter 21 beginning in verse one is where I want to focus today. On the heels of Valentine's Day, I believe it is important to reflect on the one question that the Lord would ask all of us today. "Do you love Me?" Now, at first, we are quick to respond, "YES, LORD! I DO ...read more

What a beautiful transformation is granted to us by the Son of God who came to the cross for us. We have passed from slaves in the bondage of sin, to become sons of God and heirs, and joint heirs with Christ. All is of God’s grace.

Acts Of The Apostles 34 Of 39

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

In previous studies, we find all that had been prophesied about the apostle Paul had come to pass. He was taken by a mob that almost killed him, but was rescued by the chief captain who took him away from that crowd.

He was brought before a council that did not care a thing about justice. When he observed that the council was composed of both Pharisees and Sadducees, he divided the group by stating he was a Pharisee, and a firm believer in miracles and the resurrection. Since the Sadducees did not believe ...read more

God Will Cause You To Forget

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Jan 30, 2023

There are things in our lives that we need to forget and move passed if we are to reach our potential in God. People believe that we are to forgive and forget, but as we are about to see, nothing could be further from God's Truth.

Their two names reflect the cornerstone doctrines of Christianity. Manasseh means God has ...read more

Seek God While He May Be Found Series

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Nov 20, 2022

Now is the day of salvation! Come to the waters and drink, because the waters are fresh! Why would we turn down the generous invitation to draw near to God? Why take a pass on the waters of life, or on the great feast in the Lord’s presence?

It has been said that at the heart of every message spoken by God’s prophets are these three simple words: return to me. For centuries, the LORD sent many messengers to his people—everyone from Amos, that simple farmer from Tekoa, to Zephaniah, a member of David’s royal house. Whatever their ...read more
