Contributed by Michael Blitz on Mar 22, 2025

True Mercy Over True Sin Good Morning. Today we look at Law and Grace, two things that live in constant tension in a Christian’s life.

God’s judgment is fair and just-Without it the world would not be a good one

Here’s a question for you: How many animals of each kind did Moses take on the ark? The answer, of course, is "None." It was Noah, not Moses, who brought the animals on the ark.

Emmanuel, God With Us

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Dec 27, 2022

The title Emmanuel reflects the very nature of his office, the God with us, who willingly condescend to embrace a relationship with mankind. In Christ Jesus, God chose to walk we man in human form. The Christmas story is the salvation story!

Subject: Emmanuel, God With Us Mt 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only ...read more

The Gift From The Name

Understanding the name Jesus helps us understand Christmas and why He came. We can see this in: 1) THE GIVER OF THE NAME 2) THE MEANING OF THE NAME 3) THE FOCUS OF THE NAME

From Doubting To Faith

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 19, 2025

The best thing we can do during difficulties and trials is to bring all our griefs, troubles, and discouragements to Jesus. This is what John the Baptist did when he was in prison, and it helped him move from doubting to faith.

Just before the wedding, she was killed in an accident. Joe buried her with his own hands and a broken ...read more

The World In The Church

Contributed by Martin Holland on Oct 18, 2012

This church instead of impacting the world the world had an impact on it. Sadly to say this appears to be much like today.

The World in the Church Revelation 2:12-17 We are about to study the third Church in which the Lord writes.
