A Healing In The Synagogue Series

One of the more unusual healings took place when four men carried a paralyzed man to a house but couldn’t enter.

Abraham And Sarah Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Oct 17, 2024

Abram’s hands were not clean. Sarai’s hands were not clean. Hagar’s hands were not clean. This situation was never a part of God’s plan. It was the result of distrust. Period. Full stop. And yet…… God did not abandon the plan. He was committed to these people in spite of themselves.

October 19, 2024 Last week we concluded with God promising, again, to make Abram a great nation and then ratifying the covenant by walking through the carcasses – taking upon himself the consequences of a failed covenant. Which brings us to Genesis 16. It had been 10 years since God first ...read more

Imprisoned Angels Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Sep 4, 2023

The angels were created by God as holy, honourable, and higher rank than human beings. They were created in perfect happiness and righteousness. The doubts and unbelief lead to a fall from the grace of God and eventually result in the destruction of the soul.

Contributed by Spencer Miller on Jul 20, 2013

Jesus in bringing life to someone who was dead causes the plot to kill Him but little did they know that the very plot they conjured up to kill Him will bring about eternal life.

47 Then the leading priests and Pharisees called a meeting of the high council. They said, “What should we do? This man is doing many miraculous signs. 48 If we let him continue doing these things, everyone will believe in him. Then the Romans will come and take away our Temple and our ...read more
