    Mary was engaged to Joseph usually this engagement lasted 1 year. Engagement can be a very exciting thing. Love between two, Long conversations about the future. Plans about the Honeymoon, Where will we live, etc?

    Genesis 1:1 - The Scientific Brilliance Of Our Sovereign Lord

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 1, 2023
     | 1,106 views

    This is a revision of a sermon I posted nearly two years ago that presented the story of creation from a scientific viewpoint. The wonder of creation is a witness to God's holiness, majesty, power, and glory.

    "IN THE BEGINNING, GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH" (Genesis 1:1). I want you to consider for a moment how solemn, awesome, powerful, and wondrous this statement is, for it presents the work, thought, and majesty of Almighty God. Some of you reading this might be thinking, ...read more

    The Church Of Ephesus: The Flame That Became An Ember (Revelation 2:1-7)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 16, 2023
     | 1,844 views

    Revelation, Chapters 2 and 3, deal with seven specific churches located in Asia Minor (present day Turkey) that were given words of encouragement and criticism by the Lord Jesus Christ. We need to read what Jesus says to them, because it applies to us as well.

    Revelation 2 and 3 deal with seven specific churches listed by the Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 1:11). He gives orders to the apostle John to write down what He says and send it to the pastors of these churches in order to let them know that despite the circumstances in which they find ...read more

    The Church Of Smyrna: Possessing The Wealth Of Heaven (Revelation 2:8-11)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 18, 2023
     | 1,118 views

    Within the city of Smyrna, there existed a struggling Christian community undergoing intense and withering persecution. The Lord Jesus came to them with a word of comfort for their dark days. Even though they were poor, they were, in fact, rich beyond imagination.

    In our look at the seven churches of Asia Minor described in Revelation, Chapters 2 and 3, we come to the second church the Lord Jesus addresses in terms of testimony and steadfastness to the Gospel. This is the church in the city of Smyrna, which was located about 35 miles north of Ephesus. ...read more

    Pergamos: The Church That Married The World (Revelation 2:12-17)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 19, 2023
     | 1,652 views

    The church located at Pergamos wanted to "have it both ways". They were doctrinally pure, but at the same time were slipping into compromise with the world. They were trying to "falter between two opinions" (1 Kings 18:21). It didn't work then, and it doesn't work now.

    The city of Pergamos, the next stop in our look at the seven churches of Revelation 2 and 3, was the capital city of Asia Minor (present day Turkey). The city was known for its political power, intellectual achievements, and, like the other cities, a hub of pagan worship. It was also a wealthy ...read more

    Jesus continues to show His compassion, love, and mercy by restoring sight to the blind, healing a paralyzed man, and giving life back to those who seemed to have lost all hope.

    Verses 1-8: The Lord left Gadara and sailed back to Galilee and Capernaum. Upon His return, a group of men bring another man to Him who has been struck by paralysis. They believed, by faith, that Jesus could heal him. We do not know what was going on in the mind of the paralyzed man. It was ...read more

     | 411 views

    Our commentary on Matthew continues with Jesus' testimony about the ministry of John the Baptist and the promise of judgment upon the unbelieving cities who witnessed HIs work yet did not repent.

    Matthew 11 begins with what is referred to as a "transitional" passage (v.1). While the disciples were going around the countryside doing the work that Jesus had commissioned, He continued to preach in the cities in Galilee. Verses 2-3 describe how John the Baptist had been thrown into ...read more
