Will You Drink From His Cup?

Contributed by Tim Diack on May 28, 2011

There is rich symbolism, and deep meaning, in the elements of the Communion Table. When Jesus offered the cup to His disciples He was offering them so much more than a refreshing drink. He was inviting them into the richest of all relationships.

Grace From Galatians (18 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022

Remember that when we started the Book of Galatians we talked about how these false teachers attacked Paul. They stated: • He was not a true apostle • He was preaching a false gospel

Before Paul brings this letter to a close, he wants to deal with this subject sternly. The strategy that some use when they want to destroy a message is to destroy the messenger. This is the kind of strategy they were using against the apostle Paul. This is done in politics all the time. When ...read more
