The Faith Of Foreigners Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015

The woman was rebuffed by Jesus, yet responded with a deep faith in God's love for all people independent of gender or race. The people of the Decapolis were presented with an overwhelming demonstration of Jesus' Messianic power yet without believing.

In the previous section of Mark 7 Jesus is confronted by the Pharisees over the issue of washing hands. He responds by pointing out that their reliance on their traditions has blinded them to the much more central issue of purity of heart.

I Thee Wed: Jesus' Teaching On Marriage And Divorce Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 16, 2021

Jesus taught that marriage is a sacred and serious undertaking by any man and woman who want to unite as one under the protection and direction of the LORD. We tend to make it less than God's ideal for us.

What I am writing down here is the product of a message I originally presented to a group of men and women during a chapel service at our local rescue mission. The topic of marriage was probably not on their list of favorites for the fact that many of them had left abusive and toxic ...read more

God’s Authority In Christ And You

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 31, 2010

Jesus ministry demonstrated the authority of God. Not everyone applauded. The authority of God in us brings great blessing and responsibility. Do we take seriously the authority God has given us? Jesus did.

Imagine having a photo album of the events in Jesus’ life. That describes well what God has given us in the first gospel. Between five major spoken messages of Jesus in Matthew, we find narrative pictures of Jesus’ in action. Last week we looked at chapter 8 and today Matthew 9 gives us seven ...read more

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 6, 2013

God, in His gracious mercy, gives us warnings of the need for repentance. In this case He does it through His Son, Jesus, using two accounts of untimely death and applying them to the reality of eternity which we all face.

This is the third week of the Lenten season and in the Scripture we are about to look at we see how Jesus responded when He was confronted with the news of some untimely deaths. Some died at the hands of an evil man and others died because of a construction accident. Now, you may have noticed on ...read more

Stewardship Means More Than Dollars And Cents

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Feb 4, 2008
