A Lamb For Man

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 25, 2022

Because they did not have time to wait for the bread to rise, the Hebrews were instructed to make bread without yeast (“unleavened bread”) as they prepared for their exodus from slavery in Egypt. They were told to remove all yeast from the house because it was also a symbol of sin. (Exodus 12:15, ...read more

Submitting To God's Authority - Lord's Prayer Week 4 Series

Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Nov 29, 2006

When praying for God’s will and kingdom to come, we are actually asking God to use us. We submit to his authority.

When we look at Jesus’ ministry, particularly from the gospel of Luke, we find one of the single most important practices in Jesus’ life was prayer. Luke’s gospel tells us he “often withdrew to lonely places and prayed (Luke 5:16).” Prayer was Jesus’ regular practice, but what did Jesus pray? We ...read more
