Jesus’ Baptism & The Eyes Of Faith - Mark 1:7-9 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 15, 2023

From the angle of God’s Word Jesus is the spectacular Son of God and magnificent, authoritative Messiah. From the angle of natural, human observation he is a disappointing nobody from nowhere. Failing to see from the biblical angle will result in confusion and doubt.

Straight Outta Context: Philippians 4:13 Series

Contributed by Paul Basehore on Sep 16, 2015

Philippians 4:13 does not say that we can literally do anything. What it does say, though, is that a super-powered God will willingly and repeatedly share His strength with us when things get difficult.
