The Pharisees Confront Jesus: What Does It Mean To Be A Hypocrite? An Issue Of The Heart Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jul 10, 2023

The Pharisees today are often regarded as hypocrites, mean, nasty, people who killed Jesus, and it’s true that they plotted against Jesus. But in general these were not bad people. These were religious leaders trying to help the people live according to God’s ways.

A lot of the scriptures that we look at, I feel like we get to understand another piece of the puzzle about who Jesus really is. It’s like we dive into a moment in history and we get to look over the shoulder of Jesus and see what he does, and why he does it, and we’re amazed. We want to live like ...read more

The Eye Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 30, 2022

Jesus has just noted that the eye is the body's lamp. A healthy eye perceives light and transmits that information to the body. In a poetic sense, a functioning eye floods the body with light. Light allows a person to see and operate in the world according to what is true.

The Eye (22) "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, (23) But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness.

Liberal Theology In The Churches – Address Number 2 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 20, 2022

Either what the Bible tells us in its totality is true, or it is to be dismissed as fable and we can discount anything we want to. Those who are liberals in churches and colleges deny parts of the bible and adopt humanism to try to adapt the bible. God is supreme.
