The Book Of Mark #62

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

This can be a difficult chapter to understand! It becomes difficult because some of the things the Lord talks about in this passage are BEFORE and some are AFTER the tribulation period.

You can not take Matthew 24, 25, or Mark 13 and say this is how things are going to happen chronologically. Everything that the Lord said would happen, will happen, but not in the sequence He gives them. Notice, as the disciples were walking with Jesus past the Temple, they commented on the ...read more

Nehemiah…the Completion Of The Wall

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jun 1, 2022

Before we get started in these verses of scripture we need to back up and do a review on verses 1-10. Before we get started in these verses of scripture we need to back up and do a review on verses 1-10. What happened in these verses is very noteworthy.

Philemon

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Nov 22, 2024

Paul's letter to Philemon is short but it has some wonderful lessons for us, especially about how we address something that's wrong.

I’d like you to imagine a scene. It’s about 60 A.D. We’re in the home of a wealthy man named Philemon. Philemon lives in the city of Colossae, in the south-east of what is now Turkey. Some time back, he met the apostle Paul and became a Christian, and he’s now one of the leaders of a church. ...read more

Faith And Patience: Inheriting The Promises Of God

Contributed by Sunitha Justin on Jan 3, 2025

Faith gives us the vision to see God’s promises, and patience gives us the strength to wait for His perfect timing. Together, they helps us remain anchored during the storms of life and focused when the answers seem delayed.

Even as we start the new year, we probably have mixed emotions. On one side we are grateful to God for the year 2024 for God has given us life and protected us throughout this year. On the other side, we might be perplexed about the year 2025. Is the year 2025 going to be better than 2024? Is it ...read more
