     | 5,735 views

    There can be no doubt that Paul endured much for the sake of the gospel. From a worldly perspective, one might have thought his efforts had largely failed. However, Paul kept the faith and continued serving the Lord. We should be thankful for his perseverance.

    Hindered but not Hopeless 1 Thessalonians 2: 17-20 What precious and powerful words are recorded for our exhortation in these few verses! These words reveal the very heart and soul of the apostle Paul. He, of all men, knew what it was to face adversity and extreme difficulty in ministry. ...read more

    As Jesus hung on the cross, between two condemned malefactors, He spoke words of grace to one who was repentant. In His dying moments, our Lord revealed the grace He came to secure for all who look to Him by faith.

    Today shalt Thou be with Me in Paradise Luke 23: 39-43 Last week we began our study of the seven sayings of Jesus upon the cross with the first of those, a prayer of forgiveness offered to God the Father.

    Esther lived within the Persian Empire, an environment hostile to the Hebrew people. Although their situation seemed dire, God had a plan to preserve and prosper His people. The opening passage provides insight to the culture in Persia.

    The Decadence of the King Esther 1: 1-9 The opening chapter of Esther reveals the ungodly condition of the society in which God’s people were dwelling.

    A sermon about humility.

    “Who’s Number One?” Mark 9:33-37 I love that the writers of the Gospels included this story. It teaches us so much, and it also holds a mirror up to me—perhaps to all of us as human beings.

    The Crown Of Suffering Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 19, 2018
     | 5,009 views

    The scourging Jesus endured would have been unimaginably horrific, but His suffering was from over. Following the merciless beating, Jesus was then subjected to ridicule and mockery. All of this was done for you and me!

    The Crown of Suffering Mark 15: 16-21 Our last study ended with a gripping statement: And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. It doesn’t reveal much detail. We are merely told that Jesus was ...read more

    Beatitudes mean declarations of blessedness. If we were asked to describe what it means to be blessed our answers probably would not be what we find here in this list. Jesus’ is about to give us a new understanding about what brings blessedness.
