The Incognito Jesus

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 27, 2012

Frequently Jesus asked people He healed or those who received revelations about Him to keep it quiet and not tell what they knew. At other times His very appearance was altered to disguise His identity. Why did He choose to be incognito?

Victory In Jesus Series

Jude warns us from false teachings, but in the final two verses of this little letter, Jude gives a doxology that states our security in Jesus.

This morning I will be using the English Standard Version rather than the New King James Version for our text of Jude 24-25 because of the differences between the different versions based on different Greek manuscripts. ...read more

Anthony Seel Judges 1:27-36 “The Jesus Way” Have you noticed how “something fundamental has shifted within our American culture in the past several decades?” It’s been called the “collapse of the middle” and part of it is seen in the ...read more
