Felix Was Alarmed (But He Wasn't Saved)

Contributed by Steve Klein on Oct 3, 2025

The Roman Governor Felix was alarmed when he heard Paul reason of righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment. But was he alarmed enough?

In Acts 23, Paul had been taken into custody in Jerusalem. After a plot to kill him was uncovered, the Romans whisked him away to Caesarea by night for safe keeping until a hearing before the Roman Governor Felix. Felix was Marcus Antonius Felix, a Roman procurator (governor) of Judea from ...read more

Rest In Jesus

Contributed by Sylvan Finger on Jun 5, 2024

Why is the Sabbath day celebrated on Sunday? Why are the Pharisees upset with Jesus about working on the Sabbath day? Why are the Pharisees upset with Jesus? Does the law make people well or does grace and mercy make people well?

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. When you hear that you ought to keep the Sabbath Day holy, what does it mean to you? I know for many the first response is we ought to go to church. Sunday is the Lord’s Day so let that be a day dedicated to the Lord and go ...read more

God's Purpose Stands (Genesis 27)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 6, 2024

Can God use very faulty people to fulfill His purposes? Let's look at Genesis 27.

Sometimes we are blessed, not because we deserve it, but because God has a greater purpose than our sins. A native American once said that European settlers did not deserve the land they stole, but they brought an even more valuable gift, the Gospel. Can God use people who must repent of lies and ...read more

Two Steps To Trouble Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Sep 4, 2024

An interesting "two step" phrase is repeated three times in this passage. It gives us insight into how what we believe in our heart creates hurdles in real life.

AN IDOL IS A SUBSTITUTE FOR GOD THAT WE PUT ON OUR HEART'S THRONE. - Ezekiel 14:3, 4, 7. - The triple repeat is interesting and significant. - An idol is the start of the problem.

Foolish Words, Fierce Anger, And Wise Actions (1 Samuel 25:2-44)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Sep 16, 2024

David showed mercy to Saul, exercising grace and wisdom. However, the foolish words of a man named Nabal drove David to excessive anger. The intervention of Nabal's wife, Abigail, brought calm and reason to a situation that could have ended in tragedy.

The Bible describes David as "a man after God's own heart". His character and actions reflected a genuine desire to obey and love the LORD. As a result, he was chosen by God to be the next king of Israel, replacing the dynasty of Saul, whose rebellious and defiant actions resulted ...read more

Abraham And Sarah Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Oct 17, 2024

Abram’s hands were not clean. Sarai’s hands were not clean. Hagar’s hands were not clean. This situation was never a part of God’s plan. It was the result of distrust. Period. Full stop. And yet…… God did not abandon the plan. He was committed to these people in spite of themselves.

October 19, 2024 Last week we concluded with God promising, again, to make Abram a great nation and then ratifying the covenant by walking through the carcasses – taking upon himself the consequences of a failed covenant. Which brings us to Genesis 16. It had been 10 years since God first ...read more
