Jesus Is Stripped Of His Garments.

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Apr 18, 2025

The public stripping of Jesus therefore meant that he was no longer a someone; why was he stripped naked.

Matthew 27, 35 – 37 They crucified him and then divided his clothes among them by throwing dice. After that they sat there and watched him.

The Smiths

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

Demetrius “Smith” represents someone whose judgement is clouded by selfish desires. Alexander "Smith" represents someone who doesn't want to be alone in his sin; who makes it a point to cause other Christians to stumble.

Well, her husband, Moses, was used by God to deliver the Israelites from their bondage in Egypt. You see, Zipporah was a Kenite, and the word ...read more

Who Do You Listen To? Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 22, 2005

Who do you let speak into your life? Is it someone who sees what God has done and worships him or is it someone who is an enemy of God like Amalek? Also - the difference between approaching God at Mt Sinai and at Mt Zion.
