This is especially true of preachers, so we must be careful what we say. Our words can have a negative or a positive outcome, I’m sure we ...read more

The Light That Overcomes All Darkness- Introduction

Contributed by Gary Tate on Mar 6, 2024

This I believe can help those who have or are struggling with their relationships. As a grown man now, I understand I had been living within “darkness”. I did not understand until ten years ago I was walking around being held captive by feelings of abandonment and a “orphan spirit”.

I find that we all want to understand what we can do when facing what seems to be at times an onslaught against us mentally and Spiritually. This can be true for those who have dealt with the thought of not being loved, as I did as a young boy. In my situation then as my “birth Father” was never ...read more

Jesus Faced Judgment In Front Of Pontius Pilate Series

Contributed by Robert Irvine on Jul 24, 2024

Jesus was judged by Pilate and was taken away and died on the cross at Golgotha. Pilate knew that Jesus was innocent yet he substituted the innocent man, Jesus, for the guilty robber and murderer, Barabbas.

The prophet Isaiah wrote that the suffering servant would suffer judgment. In the previous sermonm, we saw how Jesus was silent when confronted by Pontius Pilate at his illegal trial.
