How God Uses Adversity For Good

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Apr 3, 2003

Paul teaches us that “experiences” may come into our life so God can smooth off the rough edges off of our character. The Lord is in the process of fashioning us more into the image of Jesus Christ. He is the potter and we are the clay.

1. Have you considered all the blessings that are available to you when you hear the word, “No”. Most of us like to get what we want, but are frustrated when we hear somebody say, “No” to our requests.

Here's A Man Who Needs No Introduction Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 1, 2024

To take somebody else’s off was considered absolutely degrading. If you had servants, one of the rules was you could never make a Jewish servant take your sandals off. That would be too degrading to make a fellow countryman do.

The Gospel of John introduces us to the celebrity of the universe – Jesus Christ. Because there is nobody but nobody ...read more

The King ... Or Just A Fancy Look-A-Like?

Contributed by Allan Quak on Dec 7, 2005

When Jesus came into Jerusalem riding on a donkey the whole town presumed that He would take up the throne of the Messiah in Jerusalem – instead He went to the temple and cleared it out. Is this really the King that the Scriptures tell us about?

Zechariah’s Remarkable Prophecy

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Apr 1, 2023

Zechariah's prophecy about Jesus' riding a donkey into Jerusalem leads us to look at what else Zechariah had to say about Jesus. It's all about him being king.

Today it’s Palm Sunday. We remember the occasion when, just a week before he was crucified, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. In a sense, nothing very remarkable happened. 2,000 years ago – as we all know – there were no cars or buses or lorries. If people were going somewhere they would ...read more

Potholes In The Road To Ephesus

Contributed by James May on Feb 13, 2013

This road of life often seems to have potholes that will throw us off course. We begin to go this way or that, and soon discover that we are off of the path that God desires us to use. That's when the warning of Jesus to the church at Ephesus is given;
