Jesus Christ: Our Divine Teacher, Part 2

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 4, 2022

Nicodemus had been confronted with the fact that his religious zeal will not make him righteous before God. It is only by being "born again" through the work of Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins that we are forgiven and restored to a true relationship with God.

The mark of a true learner is his or her willingness to be corrected of an erroneous belief or idea that would tend to deter them from seeking the truth about a subject of interest or topic of discussion. They are not so immovable in their thinking to where they refuse to consider anything else ...read more

Sermon # 8 - Grace, Justice And Righteousness Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Mar 26, 2025

It is true that God is gracious, but it is equally true that God is just and righteous too. This was perfectly demonstrated by Jesus when He paid the penalty for the sins of all mankind on the cross of Calvary. Those who believe on the Lord Jesus will enjoy His grace and live in His righteousness.

We read in Jeremiah 9:24, “If any want to boast, they should boast that they know and understand me, because my love is constant, and I do what is just and right. These are the things that please me. I, the LORD, have spoken.”(GNB) If anyone in this world would like to boast about something, he ...read more

Jesus Endorses The Law

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 26, 2023

When Jesus endorsed the law, and said that we are to be more righteous than the Pharisees, did He mean that we are to keep all 613 Old Testament commandments more rigidly, or in a completely different manner? Let's find out in Matthew 5.

Jesus condemned whoever sets aside the least of God’s commands. Does that mean that all 613 Old Testament commandments are still in force, like circumcision, Sabbaths and sacrifices? Let’s examine salt, light and the law in Matthew 5:13-20. Salt & Light What are Christ’s disciples? You are ...read more

Which One Am I?

Contributed by Troy Borst on May 14, 2025

Spiritual self-awareness as a believer in Jesus means living in tune with God. It does not mean seeing others with eyes, listening to others with ears, and then responding with a judgmental attitude based on what we see and hear. None of us are as righteous as we think we are.

WHICH ONE AM I? LUKE 18:9-14 #SpiritualPride INTRODUCTION I was reading and listening in the Gospel of Luke the other week and a parable of Jesus smacked me right in the heart. I am going to share the parable with you today and see if it smacks you as well. The passage comes right after a ...read more

The God Who Cannot Lie

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 17, 2025

In a world where people break promises and fail to keep their word, we serve a God who is completely trustworthy. The Bible makes it clear that God cannot lie. His words are true, His promises are sure, and His character is unchanging.

THE GOD WHO CANNOT LIE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Numbers 23:19 "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" Supporting Texts: Titus 1:2, Hebrews ...read more

Search Me: Escaping The Trap Of Hidden Sin - Psalm 139:23-24 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 30, 2025

Early detection is essential for recovering from some forms of cancer. It’s essential for all forms of sin. Evil can be hidden so deep in our hearts that it cannot be detected apart from divine exposure, which often requires trials.

Psalm 139:1 O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. 2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. 3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. 4 Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord. 5 You hem me ...read more

Logectomy - Matthew 7:3-5 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 9, 2024

We are not to point out sin in others while we have a log in our own eye. We are never perfect, so when are we without a log? What is the log, and how do you know for sure when you are rid of it?

Matthew 7:1 "Do not judge so that you will not be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your ...read more

It Is Your Responsibility

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 25, 2002

We can’t gussy up our attitudes or actions to make them seem righteous on the outside and think that we are pleasing God. It’s much better to be transparent and let God deal with you, than try to hide sin under a pretty blanket.

The latest answer when you are caught making a mistake, doing something wrong – even breaking the law is: There was an error in judgment. Not, I goofed, or I’m guilty – but an error in judgment was made. That goes right along with this one: "I assume responsibility for all of my actions, except the ...read more

Now I know I’m being a little free with my translation here. I know most translations say that Jesus told them a 'parable' rather than a 'joke', but I'm not the first person to suggest that 'joke' is actually a very good translation. # Did you here the one about the frog and the scorpion who were ...read more
