    In Matthew 12:1-2 isn't Jesus just IGNORING parts of the law that He doesn't like? Is He walking to the EDGE of the law to explore where the BOUNDARIES really are? Is He the kind of person who would drive past a policeman just over the SPEED LIMIT or leav

    Answering Why

    Contributed by Martin Wiles on Jan 27, 2013
     | 5,070 views

    In tragic times, we are tempted to ask why. The question itself is not wrong-after all Jesus asked it of his Father while on the cross, but it may not be the most appropriate question or lead to the best end.

    Introduction: A. When tragedy strikes, we either grow bitter toward God or draw closer to him. B. Can God prevent tragedy? Yes. Why doesn’t he always? We can’t answer that. C. God is imminent and transcendent, but he’s not always imminent when we want him to be. D. As the writer ...read more

    God used Joseph, who was a man of conviction and compassion, to be the earthly "daddy" of Jesus.

    Intro. Joseph - Greatness is the backdrop of the Godly man we will observe today. Not much is known of his life. But I believe when we get to heaven, Joseph will be honored beyond belief. He was a good man. A hard working, carpenter. We do not find him in the Scriptures after ...read more

    As we look at the life of Jesus Christ it helps us understand more about the nature and character of God. Jesus exhibited meekness, not weakness, for the higher cause of mankind’s salvation.

In our culture, especially in the last few years, the word ...read more
