Jesus In Real Time Series

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Jan 1, 2021

Jesus is not an idea or concept, but a man Peter knew, the Son of God through the Spirit, and the Messiah. Through Jesus, we are adopted as children of God, and filled with the Spirit as Jesus was.

JESUS IN REAL TIME—Mark 1:1-13 Who is Jesus? The name “Jesus” evokes mental images about God, religion, ethics, or personal faith. Some of those images might be warm and fuzzy, while some might be dark and dreary. Some might be reflections of personal ideals and biases—a Jesus who supports the ...read more

The Authority Of Jesus: An Exposition Of Mark 1:21-28

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Jan 24, 2021

Most people concentrate on the exorcism of the unclean spirit as the demonstration of Jesus' power and authority. Rather we should concentrate on the authority of His teaching.

The Authority of Jesus: An Exposition of Mark 1:21-28 From the moment Jesus entered into the synagogue, it was apparent that things were different. As He began to teach them, they became increasingly aware that Jesus was no ordinary Rabbi. We wished we could know what Jesus taught that morning. ...read more

John The Greatest Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

It is of interest to note that John was the first person to recognize that Jesus came into the world to give His life as a sacrifice. He saw Jesus coming toward him and he said, "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world."

It takes all kinds to make a world is an old cliché, and like many old clichés there is a lot of truth to it. God so made our physical world that it just won't work without differences. Issac Asimov points out that energy can only be turned into work when you find it in greater ...read more

The Beginning Of The Gospel Series

Nevertheless, the result was four different pictures, as different as the four personalities of the ...read more

This is an age of symbolism. Every major company across America has some kind of logo to represent their business.

Many of the symbols have become so popular that the moment we see their logo we recognize their company without even having to see the name of the company. We Christians today likewise have a symbol that represents our faith. That symbol is the cross. The moment we see this symbol we ...read more
