God’s Message To God’s People - Isaiah 6 Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Nov 8, 2012

When I look at the Biblical prophets, I think “Here I am, send somebody else,” because this is not a very pleasant job. Prophets are rejected throughout the Bible. Jesus also was rejected.

Isaiah 6 Vs. 1 & 2 - In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. Uzziah ...read more

What Crime Did Jesus Commit? Series

Contributed by Rick Duncan on Mar 9, 2004

We see the context that sets up the reason Jesus was rejected by the Jews. He called for integrity, challenged their authority, claimed to be deity. We then move from the reasons to the purpose - our justification.

Almost 2000 years ago, Jesus asked His followers a question: “Who do you say I am?” It’s still the fundamental question of life. And the answer creates controversy. It’s one reason why Mel Gibson’s film, The Passion of the Christ, is so controversial. This is a film that has had the audacity ...read more

The Seed Of Christ

Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on Dec 16, 2016

When God sows, He doesn’t sow with seeds that can spoil or decay. There’s a kind of seed God has sown into our lives that irrespective of your financial status, you can always sow this seed.

Introduction One of the very first biblical principles God introduced in His Word is the principle of sowing and reaping (Genesis 8:22). For you to sow and invariably reap, you must have a seed. You can’t plant if you don’t have a seed. Often times when we talk about sowing and ...read more

The Apostles And Others Gathered In Jerusalem Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 22, 2017

Their obedience is remarkable, because they could have returned to their homes; but instead, they went into Jerusalem where more of their enemies lived than in any other place. They were obedient to their Lord, who told them to return to Jerusalem.
