Facing your Giants What do you think I have in this little bag? Well, let's take a look and see. Hmm... how about that... it is some rocks. Five smooth stones.

No Resurrection? How Does That Make Sense?

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 17, 2024

It’s not clear what the back-story is for this claim, but it leads to one of Paul’s best little classes in logic. Perhaps there was a Sadducee-trained Jewish Christian in Corinth. They didn’t believe in any resurrection.

Friday of the Twenty-Fourth Week in Course 2024 From the beginning of the Church way back in the first century Christians have been proclaiming and celebrating the physical Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. That was a real historical event that occurred three days after He was murdered ...read more

Wednesday of the Thirtieth Week in Course 2024 Today’s Gospel hits the lukewarm Christian right in the gut, if it first has an encounter with his head. Christ’s disciples have asked Him if there will be only a few humans saved. Jesus jumps right to the main point, telling them something more ...read more

Jesus has power over both disease and death.

A STORY WITHIN A STORY. Matthew 9:18-26.

Constantly Repenting To Follow Christ

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 4, 2024

Do those things well and the government will be respected. Do them badly and the people get angry and one way or another dismantle that government.

Friday of the Fourteenth Week in Course 2024 There are several basic and critical functions of any government, once a region of the world has established one.
