    Why would the religious leaders of Jesus’ day want to kill Him? For the same reasons that we reject Him today.

    Baptism: Magic Or Mission?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 14, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,719 views

    "How can I get God to do what I want?" is the poor question that has led to erroneous concepts of baptism. Baptism is, to the contrary, our signing on to how we can go what God wants.

    The problem is that if you don’t ask the right question, you’ll never get the right answer. If you ask the wrong question, you’ll never get the answer you want. A long time ago I learned that it is the wrong question, definitely the wrong question, to ask, "Are we having dessert tonight?" If I ...read more

    Being a Godly Mom in an Ungodly World Jerry Watts Titus 2:3-5 * We live in an ungodly culture. This week I began re-reading Jeremiah & like I always am, I was struck by the parallels between the actions of Israel & the present day USA.

    The entire Word of God is prophetic because it is futuristic, but it is also apostolic because the word “apostolic” is a doing word

    Doing The Work Of The Kingdom The entire Word of God is prophetic because it is futuristic. Amos 3:7 - Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

    On that first Palm Sunday Jesus' ride into Jerusalem highlighted a focal point of His purpose, a pivotal point in His mission and a revelation to all who would see and believe Him!

    Jonathon demonstrates how we might be a friend indeed to a friend who is in need.

    The key verse in our passage for today is verse 15: “While David was at Horesh in the Desert of Ziph, he learned that Saul has come out to take his life.” Now, this verse seems a bit redundant. After all, what is new about the fact that Saul was out to take David’s life? It ...read more
