The Personification Of Truth Vs. The Pettiness Of Skepticism

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 24, 2022

The drama of redemption continued as the Lord Jesus, having faced an illegal trial by the religious authorities of Israel, now faced the representative of political authority in Israel, Pontius Pilate, and the conversation he had with the true Authority.

John 18:28-40 records the probable final conversation that the Lord Jesus has with another person before he was led off to be crucified. He had a dialogue with the Roman governor of the Judean province, Pontius Pilate, and we also see that these two men had opposing agendas. Pilate comes across ...read more

The Greatest Words Jesus Ever Said

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 26, 2022

There have been figures throughout history who have had a way with words that have changed lives as well as the destinies of nations. However, the three words Jesus said from the cross - "It is Finished!" gave humanity freedom and forgiveness from sin forever.

They have an eloquence of speech, saying things that are deeply profound. The Lord Jesus was just such a person. Throughout the years of His recorded ...read more

The Tower Of Babel Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 22, 2022

The Tower of Babel was a man centered plan. God supernaturally confused the languages and scattered the people. There are over 7,000 languages spoken in the world today. Pentecost was the Tower of Babel in reverse! The Holy Spirit comes to reach those separated from God by sin.

Someone says, what are you saying? I can’t understand you. You are talking nonsense. Stop babbling. You know what they are referring to right? It is a reference to what happened in Genesis Chapter 11 at the tower of Babel. The story of the Tower of Babel is uber significant. It explains the ...read more

True Leadership Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 4, 2021

As the culture of power and death sees it today, leaders have to be tyrants without hearts or they can’t get anything done.
