     | 12,852 views

    “Then Peter came to Him and said, ‘Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.’”

    Theme: Not seven, but seventy times seven Text: Gen. 50:15-21; Rom. 14:1-12; Matt. 18:21-35 One of the great themes of biblical revelation is that of forgiveness. This is not surprising since from the time man sinned by disobeying God his greatest need has been for forgiveness. God gave the Law to ...read more

    Spiritual Famine

    based on 2 ratings
     | 20,949 views

    When we neglect God and His word, when we turn to God-substitutes, the result is spiritual dryness. When we want God to leave us alone, He just might. Amos tells what it will be like to live without a prophetic voice.

    “Spiritual Famine” Amos 8:9-14 Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts (23 Aug 2015) In 1968, the USS Pueblo, a Navy intelligence ship, was captured by North Korea, a week before the start of the “Tet Offensive” in Vietnam. The ...read more

    The priests of Israel had done violence to the law (Zephaniah 3:4). God upholds His words.

    Ahaz: Maybe The Worst Father Ever? Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jun 27, 2023
     | 1,956 views

    Who is the worst father in the Bible? It's hard to say but Ahaz, son of Jotham and king of Judah, might rank among the worst of the worst.

    Introduction: the Bible has examples of good fathers and also bad ones. When it comes to the worst, Ahaz would be hard to beat. He had a good beginning but a terrible end. What a powerful lesson for every man, especially every father. The father of Ahaz was Jotham, son of Azariah/Uzziah, one of ...read more

    Commissioned

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 30, 2022
     | 1,198 views

    Isaiah's perspective on God in the initial four verses gives us a feeling of God's significance, power, and mystery. Isaiah's case of perceiving his sin before God urges us to admit our own wrongdoings.

    The image of absolution, that Isaiah gives, advises us that we are pardoned as well. At the point when we perceive how incredible God is, how guilty we are, and the degree of His absolution, we get the strength to accomplish His work. How does our idea of the significance of God match ...read more

    The Aspects Of Authentic Salvation

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Oct 8, 2023
     | 1,316 views

    Salvation does not originate with us. We cannot redeem ourselves because our sinful nature does not want to acknowledge that God alone is the Author and Provider of our salvation as written in the Scriptures.

    The Scriptures make it abundantly clear that we are given a set amount of time on this earth, and then face the judgment (Hebrews 9:27). No one, from prince to pauper, will be exempt. We will all give an account of our lives to the Lord Jesus Christ (Luke 12:13-21; John 5:28-29; 1 Corinthians ...read more

    Stephen makes a rather long defense of himself before the council, after all, he is facing a death sentence. He doesn’t go directly to the point raised by his accusers, but instead goes into a lengthy history of his nation.

    7 Evidences That The Bible Is God’s Word

    Contributed by John Gaston on May 7, 2025
     | 1,587 views

    When we hear the Bible's internal claims, see its historical accuracy, fulfilled prophesies, manuscript evidence, transformational power, survival & influence, & scientific knowledge, it confirms that it's the Word of God.

    7 EVIDENCES THAT THE BIBLE IS GOD’S WORD 1. Internal Claims. The Bible tells us it’s the Word of God. • Direct statements: Over 3,800 times, the Bible uses phrases like “Thus says the Lord,” especially in the Old Testament (e.g., Jeremiah 1:9, Ezekiel 2:4). • New Testament claims: Paul wrote in 2 ...read more
