    Jesus promised the world would hate us. The reason is beacause we are holy. How can we achieve the holiness the world hates?

     | 7,319 views

    In His last sermon before the Cross, Jesus affirms His union with the Father, along with a message of hope for tomorrow and light for our darkness. He also states the position of believers and unbelievers.

    If somehow I knew my next sermon would be my last, what would I preach? Our Lord’s time on earth was drawing to a close, and so He delivered a final sermon, an appeal to people to embrace His light. One translation introduces His message: “And Jesus cried aloud” (Moffat). ...read more

    Have you ever thought about what God goes through to win a soul that is hungry for the truth?

    The Eye Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 30, 2022
     | 4,011 views

    Jesus has just noted that the eye is the body's lamp. A healthy eye perceives light and transmits that information to the body. In a poetic sense, a functioning eye floods the body with light. Light allows a person to see and operate in the world according to what is true.

    The Eye (22) "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, (23) But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! Jesus has just commanded His listeners to stop stockpiling treasure on ...read more

    We especially need to take notice since the deception of the end time will be far worse than anything that we have experienced to this point.

    Introduction: So far in our study, we have looked at how we can be deceived. We can personally be deceived by gaining too much wisdom of this world that we discount the Word of God as irrelevant and unimportant. We also can experience deception by hearing the Word preached to us and then doing ...read more
