    The Order Of Melchisedec

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 5,391 views

    Although the Aaronic priesthood was God-ordained, it was temporary, and must give way to the new and better priesthood by which we may all make our approaches to God.

    THE ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC. Hebrews 7:1-19. The New Testament is replete with surprising interpretations of Old Testament passages. We need go no further than the first Gospel to see this illustrated (Matthew 1:22-23; Matthew 2:15; Matthew 2:17-18; Matthew 2:23 etc). The Book of Hebrews, towards ...read more

    Famous Last Words

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 1, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,764 views

    It is the everlasting covenant that gives David the courage to hope. Man may fail, but God will not. The covenant is set in place by God, and guaranteed by God.

    FAMOUS LAST WORDS. 2 Samuel 23:1-7. The Bible sometimes permits us to listen in on the death-bed words of a dying saint. We hear Jacob blessing his sons. We hear Moses blessing the twelve tribes. We are interested also to hear the seven last sayings of Jesus from the Cross. In the passage ...read more

    The Murder Of John The Baptist

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,291 views

    For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. Mark 6:20.

    THE MURDER OF JOHN THE BAPTIST. Matthew 14:1-12. This passage begins with Jesus, and ends with Jesus. It was inevitable that Herod Antipas should have “heard of the fame of Jesus” (Matthew 14:1). It was natural, too, that John’s disciples - like any true believer - should resort to Jesus in ...read more

    5th Sunday, Year A, Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

    The late Pentecostal preacher David du Plessis was once approached by a Christian who complained that people don’t seem thirsty for the Lord these days. Without missing a beat, du Plessis replied, “It’s not that they are not thirsty enough. It’s that we are not salty enough!” Since moisture ...read more

    Born Blind Beggar

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Mar 5, 2021

     | 2,665 views

    What caught my attention in this whole episode of Jesus healing the eyes of a beggar born blind is that, ‘ people were not able to recognize him after the healing.’

    I am the one BORN BLIND BEGGAR John 9:9 Others were saying, "This is he," still others were saying, "No, but he is like him." He kept saying, "I am the one." UNRECOGNIZABLE: What caught my attention in this whole episode of Jesus healing the eyes of a beggar ...read more

    Easter Impact

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 20, 2018
     | 6,526 views

    Mary Magdalene has the biggest “narrative impact” on Easter morningI: “I have seen the Lord." Which speaks of her life-transforming experience.

    John, called the Beloved Disciple, is clearly the hero of Easter morning! He is spiritually superior with love and understanding; runs fastest. Between John, Peter, and Mary Magdalene— all of whom were at the empty tomb on that first Easter morning— only John had faith in the Physical ...read more

    Little Chunks Of Doubt

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 17, 2022
     | 1,092 views

    Often what we perceive as doubt is not really that severe. We experience times in which faith in Christ seems overwhelmingly demanding.

    We may cluck our tongues and roll our eyes at Thomas in this snippet from John’s Gospel. “How can the unanimous testimony,” we wonder, “of those who saw Jesus that Easter evening still leave Thomas, absent without leave then, in doubt of the Resurrection?” At first glance he just looks irreparably ...read more

    If we truly love the Lord, there is no reason to fear when doing what we are called to do.

    Whoever Loves – John 14:23 -29 Intro: Listen to the following expressions and think about the last time you may have heard them: Luv ya man! / I just love German chocolate cake! / I love your new hair cut! / I love your outfit! --- These expressions all deal with the word LOVE.

    Suffering Saints

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Jun 20, 2022
     | 1,515 views

    Suffering is hard to handle. It is easier when it is us going through it and not our loved ones, but it is still hard.

    Suffering is hard to handle. None of us like it. Usually, we can handle it better in ourselves than having to watch friends and loved ones go through it. We were just like our children, and we ask why not only for ourselves but for others. If they're not careful, we try to inform others why ...read more

    Prayer Life Of Elijah Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Aug 1, 2022
     | 2,283 views

    The prayer life made Elijah stand before God, stand before Kings, and stand with weaker sections. He was man like us but a powerful prayer warrior.

    Text: James 5:17-18 Theme: The prayer life of Elijah Introduction Elijah means Yahweh is my God. His lifestyle is described in 2 Kings 1:7-8. Elijah was a good athlete; he ran faster than a horse (1 Kings 18:46). He was a man of humor: “By noon, Elijah had started making fun of them, taunting, ...read more
