Melchizedek

Contributed by Adam Turner on Jul 15, 2009

Jesus is pointed to throughout all of Scripture, even in the most obscure places.

READ GENESIS 14:17-20. Melchizedek appears and then disappears, never to be heard of again until Psalm 110:4, when the writer says that the Messiah would be a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.

Don't Settle For Facts, Discover The Truth - Mark 4:35-40; Numbers 26-14:1

Contributed by Tunde Alli on Feb 16, 2012

Most Christians have substituted God's truth for facts. They believe facts rather than the truth of the word of God. Facts never set anyone free, truth does.

John 8:32 'Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free'. In the first story (Mark 4:35-40), Jesus was sleeping while his disciples were worried about a raging storm; the second (Numbers 13:26-14:1) reveals the nation of Israel (save Joshua and Caleb) weeping upon discovering the ...read more

Gaius, A Man Who Helped Much

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 13, 2012

As a church leader, your behavior often determines the growth of believers and whether or not the church has a dynamic ministry for Christ. THIS is what the letter of 3 John is all about, leadership within the church.

It is believed that John the Apostle wrote this book or letter around 85-95 AD. It was written to a man named Gaius in order to warn ...read more

Relevance Of Jesus In Modern Times
