The Temple Of The Lord

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Nov 21, 2005

Time and again God had warned his people not to worship anything or anyone else but Him, but they continued to do whatever they wanted to do. They were going to the Temple supposedly for the purpose of worshipping the Lord on the Sabbath Day, but were di

Recently, I have been doing an in depth study of some of the major prophets of the Bible.

"His Temple” Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jun 14, 2010

Paul tells us how God views His church as being His temple and how this should serve to unify us.

- Debate In The Temple Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015

The Pharisees try to trap Jesus by questioning his authority, by asking about taxes paid to Caesar, the resurrection and which Law is greatest. Jesus rebuts all their attacks. But the battle isn't over. Satan continues his attacks on us today.

Sermon by Rev George Hemmings During my time at Ridley, one of the highlights was the debates. Sometimes there’d be big debates in class, as we tried to wrap our heads around big theological ideas.

The Cleansing Of The Temple Series

Contributed by Richard White on Jul 16, 2011

Cleansing The Temple Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on May 31, 2016

Who is Jesus to you? A miracle worker, or the Lord of your life? We have got to be able to answer that before we can fully understand the mission He was on because having faith in Christ is more than a catch-phrase, but a life altering decision.
