    Jesus Before Herod Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Mar 20, 2023
     | 2,025 views

    Herod is presented as a frivolous person, who desired to see some amusing tricks performed by one whom he probably regarded as some kind of magician. To such a person Jesus had nothing to say.

    LUKE 23: 6–12 JESUS BEFORE HEROD [JESUS’ LAST DAY SERIES] [Luke 9:7-9; 13:31; Acts 3:11-22] Pilate was astute enough to realize in some fashion that it was he who was on trial, not Jesus. In some way, Jesus is in control of His own trial and Pilate seems cognizant of that. But, in spite of ...read more

    Standing Before God

    Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Oct 24, 2019
     | 5,817 views

    What determines our standing before God? The Pharisee, tax collector, and disciples give us an answer.

    Can there be anything more nerve wracking than being evaluated at work or school? When we are criticized or graded, we are vulnerable and exposed. We may wonder and think, “What will people say or think of me? Is what they are saying true or accurate? Do they truly see my talents and abilities, ...read more

     | 27 views

    God desires the giver before the gift—when we first surrender our hearts to Him, every act of generosity, including financial giving, flows joyfully and becomes an overflow of grace.

    (God wants the giver before the gift) --- Introduction – Life Stirs Up Life Before we even open our Bibles, think about something amazing. The New Testament calls the church the body of Christ. Not a building. Not bricks and mortar. You and I are the church. Every part of a body matters. ...read more
