Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Nov 29, 2015

The Heavenly Hierarchy

Contributed by Craig Condon on Oct 3, 2015

As the Son of God, Jesus is superior to the world, even though he was not fully revealed to man until his death, resurrection and ascension. Because he became human, he was our representative before God.

Jehovah Shalom - God Is Peace Series

Contributed by Paul Basehore on Feb 12, 2015

Fear is a self-preservation instinct -- it's designed to protect us from something that may cause us real or imagined harm. But Jesus says in Matthew not to fear death, but to fear God. What's the difference?
