The Tears Of Jesus

Contributed by Grant Adams on Apr 15, 2023

Jesus shed tears for many reasons. We, as Christians, should shed tears for the same. Is our heart sensitive to the things of God?

Chemists say that tears are a combination of sodium chloride, phosphate of lime, mucus, and water. The Bible reveals that tears are the expressions of a broken heart. The Bible is splattered with tears from Genesis to Revelation. In the Old Testament, Esther fell down before the King's and wept ...read more

Jesus And Youth Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Apr 20, 2023

Young people slowly turn away from the Church. They loose interest in Christ. They feel boredom in the preaching of pastors, even a young man had that problem in Mark. A little further walk with Christ could have given him a great light. Where are you today, O young man?

Jesus And Giving Series

Contributed by K. Edward Skidmore on Nov 11, 2020

Brother Jesus

No Room For Jesus Series

When Joseph and Mary approached looking for shelter his line was to simply say “I’m sorry… but we have no room.” But being a good 7-year-old boy that didn’t seem quite right.
