    Jesus--Crazy Or Victorious?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 18, 2023
     | 889 views

    It appears here that the relatives of Jesus want to have Him committed to a mental ward.

    Saturday of the 2nd week in Course 2023 Today’s Gospel is one of the shortest readings in the Lectionary. If you don’t pay attention, it’s over before you can grasp it. Why? Mark’s community of Rome was under almost constant persecution. So he took mostly Matthew’s Gospel and abridged it, ...read more

    Get Used To Being Hated Series

     | 10,419 views

    Jesus was hated by the world, for no other reason than He had come to reveal the Father. As those who are associated with Jesus we should accept the same level of hate.

    Message John 15:18-25 “Get Used To Being Hated” Living with teenagers can be heaps of fun. Especially when they go through that wonderful time of life called “puberty”. You just never know what is going to happen from one moment to the next. You can be quietly sitting in front of the tv. Your ...read more

    The Wrath of People Against the Truth Tellers of God by Kelly Durant 2 Tim 3:12 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. The prophets of God in the Bible, pastors of today, or any truth living Christian who will speak what is correct from the ...read more

    Jesus tells His followers that He is being numbered among the transgressors. What does that mean for us today as we try to follow Him?

    WHAT I DON'T KNOW: What exactly is going on with the swords here? - Luke 22:36, 38. - The references to swords garner the most attention from most readers. They are intriguing statements that are not easily understood. - I wish I could tell you that I have an incisive, succinct explanation ...read more

    More mission insights from the little Commission.

    AS SHEEP AMONG WOLVES. Matthew 10:9-23.

    Do We Have A Preference Or A Conviction

    If our faith changes or bends under any circumstance, even in the face of certain death, we have a preference and not a conviction.

    Daniel 3:8–18 In 1972 the Supreme Court ruled in Wisconsin vs. Yoder that the only religious beliefs protected under the First Amendment are convictions. Preferences, the Court said, are not.

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 6, 2021
     | 3,017 views

    The apostles were taken into custody another time and stood trial the next day. Compare what Peter said, and what Gamaliel said, as responses to the charges! This outline is revised from one I used in preaching a miniseries on Acts several years ago.

    Introduction: the apostles were healing people, through the power of God, so much that even people from outside Jerusalem were bringing their sick folks there for healing. Verses 12-16 give a brief summary of these activities. All of this no doubt led to the high priest and others taking action to ...read more

    Persecution is a fact - but your response is yours to choose! This is exactly what we see from the Israelites in spite of unbelievably cruel persecution. If God would protect them, can't we rely on that promise for ourselves?

    Exodus, Part 2 Exodus 1:8-22 Introduction - Exodus is an incredible study of God's faithfulness to man -- It is also a great encouragement to see man's ability to be faithful to God - The series title is "Redeemed to Worship" -- From this day forward, it is my prayer that title would stick to ...read more

    The Church at Smyrna was a suffering church. They had experienced past afflictions and were going to encounter sever trials so they are encouraged to endure. A suffering church needs to look to their Lord and look to their future.
