"Not For The Nation Only"

Contributed by Clark Tanner on Oct 8, 2010

God often uses the utterings of evil men to announce His own purposes. They think they are in control but they are not.

“Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council, and were saying, “What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs. 48 “If we let Him go on like this, all men will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our ...read more

Whose In Charge?

Contributed by Jon Mackinney on Aug 29, 2011

Jesus' trial before Pilate was a hodge-podge of differing desires. But they are all just background noise to what was really going on, and what God was using to bring about His purpose.

A truth that enemies feared more than followers believed. The same people that went to Pilate to seek him to put Jesus to death, ...read more

Received With Joy, Not Rejected

Contributed by David Zachrich on Aug 9, 2023

Rejection is painful, especially when you had hoped to be warmly received. It is the issue that Jesus addressed while in the Temple days before His arrest, persecution, and crucifixion.

Therefore, I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.” Matthew 21:33-43 Friends ...read more
