    The Message Of The Samaritan For Today's Evangelism

    Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Jul 13, 2020
     | 3,769 views

    Believers are called by God to engage in the reconciliatory of the works of the Lord and not promote our style of worship and every other thing that turns from the truth.

    Once I heard words from a wise pastor that still evoke awe in my heart even as the time eclipses like a winding clock. In fact, all believers can attest to the instance of the truth of the scripture coming alive unexpectedly like a stream bursting forth. It simply means there is a possibility of ...read more

     | 6,156 views

    We take a look at Jesus and His encounter with the demonic called Legion. Through this encounter maybe we can find out what Jesus wants with us and how sometimes finding freedom can make us uncomfortable. We also can find that we need a relationship with Jesus in order to change

    In today’s Scripture we find Jesus in the country of Gerasenes, where He encounters a man possessed by many demons. I think this guy would have probably been a frightening site, he ran around the tombs naked and cut himself with stones, we are told that when they tried to chain or shackle him he ...read more

    We must understand the biblical text before speaking on it, and must do so with the mind of the Church.

    Thursday of 19th week in course 2015 Joy of the Gospel About sixty years ago, it became popular in certain circles of Catholic scholars to call into doubt the stories of miracles in the Bible.

    I AM the resurrection and the life.

    RAISING THE DEAD. John 11:17-45. By the time Jesus got to Bethany, Lazarus had been dead for four days (John 11:17). The professional mourners attended the home of Martha and Mary (John 11:19).

    The First Evangelistic Sermon

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 11, 2023
     | 951 views

    The fall of humanity as recorded in Genesis 3 shows the consequences of rebellion but also the promise of redemption from a merciful God who desires that no one perish, but that everyone would come to Him for everlasting life.

    The first eleven chapters of the book of Genesis are an authentic record of the beginning of the universe and the world. It is the work of Almighty God and is a testimony to logic, rationality, meaning, purpose, and the precise design of what we know as science. Within the first two chapters ...read more

    The Existence And Presence Of Almighty God, Part 1

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 16, 2023
     | 744 views

    The presence and personal interest of God in the affairs of His creation is evident to those who have eyes to see (Romans 1:18-22). He gives us proof of His existence, regardless of the world's blindness to the obvious.

    As the days draw nearer to the promised return of the Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:1-3; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Titus 2:11-15), we are told in Scripture that humanity will not welcome Him with open arms, but will instead grow more hateful towards Him, doing everything possible to resist His ...read more

     | 1,320 views

    In this chapter, we see the activity of Ruth. What did she do when she came to a new land and what was her purpose?

    She Gleaned When the barley and wheat were fit to be collected, gatherers were employed to chop down the stalks and tie them into packs. Israelite law directed that the corners of the fields were not to be reaped. Likewise, any grain that was dropped was to be left for the gleaners, those ...read more

    Check the words that people speak with what God says in the Bible. Check the commitment to the body of believers

    1 John 4:1-6 cautions Christians not to indiscriminately acknowledge every single spiritual case. There are numerous bogus instructors (false teachers) on the planet. It is vital to painstakingly consider both the source and the substance of an instructing (teaching) before we acknowledge it. John ...read more

    Before The Throne Of God (Revelation 4: 2-11)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 31, 2024
     | 1,037 views

    How can anyone describe with our limited human vocabulary the glory and wonder of God's heaven? John's vision shows that God is in control of the events here on earth and will bring all of history to a conclusion on HIs terms.

    Revelation Chapter 4 opens with the apostle John being commanded to "come up here" (v.1). He is brought to the throne room of God Almighty in all of its glory and majesty. It is far more beautiful and magnificent than any kind of palace built for kings and emperors here on Earth. What ...read more

    The Consequences Of Denying The Resurrection

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 15, 2023
     | 1,055 views

    If Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead, then the past two thousand years have been the greatest tragedy and travesty of human civilization ever recorded.

    There is enough credible eyewitness testimony and extra biblical evidence to verify the historical significance and fact that the event of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ as written in the Scriptures and secular history is true. The resurrection evidence can be presented in any objective court ...read more

    Death Has Died, And Jesus Christ Has Won (1 Corinthians 15:51-58)

     | 1,365 views

    Death and the grave hold no fear to a child of God. If we have put our faith in Jesus Christ for salvation, we can have confidence that His death and resurrection has put an end to it.

    In 1 Corinthians 15:51-58, Paul teaches that the flesh cannot inherit the kingdom of God, and in our present state, our sins and wickedness cannot be tolerated in the presence of a holy God. Paul tells the Corinthians that at the allotted time, God will change our present corrupt bodies into ...read more

    Jesus And His Family Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Feb 28, 2023
     | 2,348 views

    Bible is silent about the description of the family of Jesus. However, there are a few references to Joseph, Mary, and her children to learn a few things about the family of Jesus. Jesus was pictured as a young man walking to the Jordan for Baptism and nothing else is known to us.

    Our look at the Sermon on the Mount continues as we read about Jesus' teachings on good works, the importance of authentic prayer, and the futility of worry.

    Matthew 6 teaches about the life of faith that should characterize a true follower of God. In this chapter, Jesus stresses the importance of proper motives about giving, prayer, and fasting; three common and legitimate ways to practice righteousness which can become easily compromised due to ...read more

    This is a continuation of the teachings of the Lord Jesus gives in His "Sermon on the Mount" as written in Matthew 5-7.

    After the Lord Jesus presented the "model prayer" (vv.9-15) as an aide in helping us talk to God the Father in love, devotion, and faith, He turned His attention to the issue of fasting or abstaining from food or a particular activity for a period of time as an act of worship and ...read more
