Jesus Christ: Our Model Of Suffering

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 20, 2022

In the eighteenth chapter of John's gospel, we are presented with the beginnings of the sufferings that the Lord Jesus would undergo for the sake of our redemption, paying a debt He did not owe for fallen humanity who could never pay it.

Several years ago, I came across a televangelist who peddled the ungodly "word-of-faith", or "prosperity" gospel that is poisoning the body of Christ in these last days. One of the "sales pitches" (and that is the only means by which I can define it) these folks ...read more

Place, Peace, And Presence Matter

Contributed by David Zachrich on Apr 2, 2024

Let’s start at an obvious place for the week after Easter. The baskets are empty, the colored grass has been vacuumed up. Beautiful cards have been put away. Nice clothes are back in the closet. All that is left are a few jelly beans that no one wants to trust. Easter is over … or, is it?

Sons And Heirs: Our Glorious Adoption Series

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Sep 5, 2025

In this passage, Paul reveals our glorious new identity in the Spirit: we are no longer slaves living in fear, but adopted children of God and co-heirs with Christ.

The Resurrection Of Jesus Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 11, 2022

He is risen! He is alive! Jesus raised never to die again. Others in the New Testament were raised, but died again, like Lazarus. Jesus was raised from the dead and he shall live forever.

The resurrection is the very central point and essence of Christianity. It is “of first importance” of the Christian faith. That essence and the importance is captured beautifully in For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the ...read more
