Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Aug 16, 2018

A walk through John 6, with reference to the Jewish belief that "I Am" could only be Yahweh... and Jesus claims God's title for himself. The Rabbis also considered the O.T. to be "The Bread of Life", "the Water of Life" and Jesus again claims them.

God So Loved Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Jan 8, 2019

God so loved the world doesn’t refer to the whole mass as one entity but as individual persons by persons, God’s love is for me, for you as individuals not as one world. Every one, every individual is so important and so precious in the sight of God.

A Song With A Sharp Rebuke Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 27, 2022

It has been called a Trojan horse song because it seems like it will be a love song between God and His people. Isaiah gets the attention of God’s people with this song. The people listened to and loved the song only to find they themselves are the scoundrel referred to in this song.

Songs are used for many purposes. There are love songs, worship songs even political protest songs. Isaiah who I think we could call the “singing prophet” composed an unusual song here. Once you have listened to the whole song you realize it is not what you first expected. It has been called a ...read more

Lessons From The Rich Man And Lazarus (Luke, Part 8) Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Mar 13, 2022

Jesus often taught in parables and referred to them as such, but in this passage there is no mention of it being a parable ... this is the story of an actual event, and He makes it very clear that each of us has a choice on where we will spend eternity, because our life choices do matter.

Lessons from the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke, Part 8) Luke 16:19-31 Introduction / Recap - The study of Luke is an interesting one for believers to explore -- We see Luke’s interest in humanity (it’s genuine, rem: career as a physician) -- We also get to experience how Jesus interacts with ...read more

Christmas, Reinstating Santa Series

Contributed by Terry Laughlin on Dec 9, 2021

Every year we see American culture feed the flesh and cling to the world view of celebrating Christmas, which is the surmise of misrepresenting a person’s good name. This is especially true of Saint Nicholas, who is referred to now by the modern-day name, Santa Claus.

Dough And Bucks

Contributed by Terry Melton on Aug 4, 2019

Looking at “dough” and “bucks.” I am not referring to the kind of “deer” that God created, but rather the "dough" and "bucks" that man created, and hold too "dear" to our hearts, for the love of money is the root to all kinds of evil.

When my daughter was little, we were driving along a country road, and she spotted a deer. She asked, “Does the deer have any doe?” I said, “Ya. Two bucks.” Today, we will have a look at “dough” and “bucks.” I am not referring to the kind of “deer” that God created, but rather when we hold the ...read more

The Day Of Judgment Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

We must open our spiritual eyes and recognize that there are thousands of victories being won everyday around the world. We are referring to the victories of light over darkness. The Christian must balance his pessimism concerning the world with his optimism concerning the kingdom of God.

The optimist says the world is everyday in every way getting better and better. The pessimist says the world isn’t what it used to be, but is going to the dogs. The Christian realist says they are both right, because there are two kingdoms of reality. There is the world order, or that realm in ...read more

Are All People Sinners? Series

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 13, 2022

Paul answers the question that he gives to the Jews, “Are we better than they?” referring to the Gentiles. His answer is in no wise are we better. Paul calls attention to again that each individual is that “they are all under sin,” regardless of whether Jewish or Gentile.

Romans 3:9-23 contains a series of statements from the Old Testament Scriptures. Paul utilizes these to show that the Jews and Greeks are similar under transgression. Subsequent to setting up that “there is none that doeth good” from Psalm 14:1, Paul utilizes statements from Psalms and Isaiah to ...read more

The Fourth Of July's Favorite Verse

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jul 1, 2023

Many preachers and Christian leaders often quote on the Fourth of July or Memorial Day 2 Chronicles 7:14. They believe the “people” referred to in the passage are the American people, and the “land” is the American land. Can we apply this verse to America and our home countries today?
