Acts Chapter 5:17,41 The Apostles Persecuted 17 Then the high priest and all his associates, who were members of the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. 18 They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail. 19 But during the night ...read more

    Paul had all the passion and righteous anger for God, and it was all wrong. Jesus had to correct Paul’s path and destiny to make him the man he was supposed to be. Paul’s religion got in the way of what was more important; a relationship with Jesus.

    What Does It Mean To Be Religious?

    Religion as mankind's search for meaning in life and its ultimate expression in God's revelation of Himself in Jesus

    ‘WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE RELIGIOUS?’ The best way to learn is to ask questions. The dictionary tells us that it’s having reverence or belief in some being known as ‘God’. To go further, we have to ask more questions. And that’s what I want to do this ...read more

    In the beginning of James 1:27, James highlights that part of pure religion in the eyes of God is looking after orphans and widows in their distress. Let's take a look at why this would be an indicator of being truly religious.

    ARE YOU RELIGIOUS? (part two) Recap: James 1:26, "If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless." We looked at chapter three and realized why James highlighted the tongue-because it's the hardest to tame. ...read more

    What does it mean to become polluted by the world? To be polluted means our thinking and behaviors are of the world. We are subscribing to its philosophies and ideals. We are liviing in accordance with the sinful nature. So how do we become unpolluted?

    ARE YOU RELGIOUS (part three) Recap: Last week we looked at the beginning of James 1:27, "Religion as God the Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress."

    What’s wrong with being religious? Nothing, as long as it does not become a substitute for knowing Jesus Christ.

    INTRODUCTION You know America loves to take polls and surveys. It seems our nation’s leaders are more in tune with the polls and the surveys than they are in doing what is right and moral and just. Isn’t it interesting though that one recent survey determined 58% of Americans ...read more

    Jesus And The Religious Leaders In The Temple

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 14, 2015
     | 3,951 views

    The fig tree looked good on the outside but it wasn’t producing any fruit. The religious leaders looked good on the outside, but they didn’t provide for the people. Jesus decreed that he would let them fade and raise up something new in their place.

    The events in John 2:18-25 occur just after Jesus has chased the moneychangers and the sellers out of the temple. The religious leaders wanted to know who gave Jesus the authority to do what he did in the temple. Jesus did not give them an answer because he knew that the religious leaders did not ...read more
