     | 2,912 views

    I often wonder where my fellow believers stand, especially those who I stand along side of in the church. We live in a day and age where there is much compromise and strife within the church.

    Admiring the box more so than the gift is cute if you are two. At some point, it will be a dishonor to the gift giver because you do not truly value the gift.

    The sad thing is that pagan astrologers went to great lengths to find the Messiah while among His own people neither king nor priest would travel six miles to see Him. The priest knew the place by his theological study, but could not be bothered to investigate the fulfillment of prophecy. ...read more

    " An Introduction To Mark's Gospel" Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 31, 2020
     | 2,673 views

    This is the first in a series on Mark's account of the life and ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ, focusing on the background, theme, purpose, and testimony of those who were changed by the message and compassion of Jesus, both then and now.

    The Early Church Fathers (A.D. 100-400) affirm that John Mark, first introduced in the book of Acts as a traveling companion of the Apostle Paul and his associate Barnabas, was the author of the Gospel that bears his name. Acts also notes that Mark, young and immature, abruptly left Paul and ...read more

    Is Jesus making the Law binding upon Christians in these verses?

    Neither Jot, nor Tittle Matthew 5:17-19 This text has many emphatic markers in the Greek which indicates that what Jesus says here is to be taken with all seriousness. We need to be reminded again that the Sermon on the Mount was preached to His disciples in the light of dividing the true ...read more

    Arise, My Child! Series

     | 5,845 views

    For Christians, death is merely a passage to life by faith in Christ only! When Jesus encounters people who need Him two things happen: 1) He willingly goes to where they are and, 2) they do whatever it takes to come to Him. We should live the same way!

    Arise, My Child! Mark 5:21-43 Introduction - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” - Last week we ...read more

    To build our lives on anything less than a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ is the very height of madness.

    BUILDING ON THE ROCK. Matthew 7:21-29. In the end, there will be those who PROFESS, “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name, and in your name have cast out demons, and in your name done many wonderful works?” to whom Jesus will PROFESS, “I never knew you: depart from me, you (all) ...read more

    Do we answer to our own priorities or God?

    Luke 16:1-13 As you might have noticed, we have been reading a lot of parables from Luke in the last few months; this is Year C in the Episcopal lectionary. . . the year of Luke.

    Bible - Why Bother? #4 Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 1, 2019
     | 2,611 views

    The inspiration of the writers of scripture, and the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit in determining the canon of scripture, the ongoing impact of the scriptures in our lives and in the Christian mission give us complete confidence in the authority and reliability of the Bible.

    So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. 15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16 He writes the same way ...read more

    Lord Of The Sabbath ( Matthew 12:1-14)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 23, 2025
     | 456 views

    In this chapter, Jesus teaches the true meaning of the “Sabbath” and how it is to bring glory to God, not to be used as a religious weapon. The hostility towards Jesus was starting to grow.

    Before we undergo any further study of this chapter, it would be helpful to understand the concept of the “Sabbath”. According to the fourth commandment (Exodus 20:8), the Sabbath was set aside as one day in seven to cease from labor and take a rest from all unnecessary activity. Exodus 31:15 ...read more
