Simon The Zealot Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

Under different circumstances Simon would run a blade through Matthew, and Matthew would live in fear of Simon, but Jesus makes them partners in the Gospel. A left-winger and a right-winger united in Christ.

We want to look at an Apostle of whom we would know nothing if the New Testament did not tell us of his political affiliation before he became a believer.

Optimistic Pessimism Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 28, 2021

Jesus is not being a pessimist here, however, in spite of the gloomy nature of His prophecy. He is being a realist with an optimistic foundation. You can afford to face the worst when you know the best will finally triumph

A man stood before the judge and told him this story.

Advance Through Arrest Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 28, 2021

There is a difference between sin and error. It I say 2+2=5 I am in error, but I am not sinning. That is, if my motive is to come to a right answer I am not sinning.

Righteous Indignation Series

Contributed by Johnny Levy on Oct 17, 2020
