    How Paul made the Jews jealous so as to provoke them to faith in Christ and warned the Gentiles not to be presumptuous now that they were believers in Jesus Christ.

    ROMANS 11: 11-22 The Problems of Jealousy and Presumption 11 “I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles. 12 Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,274 views

    To show that God loves the world that is in rebellion against Him and that gratitude to Him ought to be the response to His grace. The application of the Law of God seems to be the only thing that brings some people to see their need of Christ.

    "The Ones Whom God Loves" JOHN 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." It’s a wonderful truth. It is gospel truth; truth in a nutshell. The Lord says He loves the world. “For God so loved the ...read more

     | 6,757 views

    Like John the Baptizer we need to be reminded from time to time that Jesus is our promised Messiah.

    Jesus our Promised Messiah Matthew 11:1-6 John the Baptizer was now in prison for preaching about the Kingdom of God.

    Why Did Jesus Have To Die?

    Contributed by Ray Mckendry on Apr 1, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,940 views

    Jesus was not just a good man with a good example to share. He was something much more. Jesus was the substitutionary sacrifice we all need because we sinned against God and cannot offer a sufficient payment to cover our debt.

    Why Did Jesus Have to Die? I can see why the good actions of Jesus may cause some people to emulate him. I can even see that it may lead to better lives, but I cannot see how His example can change their hearts! Alan Scholes, a former agnostic testifies from his experience: “I had often heard my ...read more

    What does Jesus mean when he said, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me?” Luke 9:23

    Prerequisites for Christian Discipleship Luke 9:23-26 The call of Jesus to be a disciple is a demanding call.
