    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 4, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 26,313 views

    A look at the peculiar phrase in Matthew 8:17 that Jesus "took up our infirmities and carried our diseases." It's an easy phrase to overlook, but what exactly does that mean?

    WHAT DOES VERSE 17 SAY? It tells us that Jesus “received our sicknesses” and that he “bore our diseases.” - Matthew 8:17. - We read right past that phrase without thinking about it, but when you pause on it there is a peculiarity to it. What exactly does that mean? - I ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 9, 2018
     | 5,483 views

    Paul here uses an interesting and unusual phrase: "reconciled." What exactly does it mean that Christ has reconciled us?

    WHAT DOES "RECONCILE" MEAN? It is bringing two things into agreement. - 2 Corinthians 5:18-21. - The key word in this passage is “reconcile.” This is not a word that we use much in sermons or Bible study, but it’s a good Bible word and it has an important truth to teach us. This ...read more

     | 3,071 views

    A look at how the Jews' rejection of Jesus opened the door for our salvation.

    The Storyline: - We’re going to be relatively brief in this first part and then spend a little more time on the later parts. 1. Jesus is born “King of the Jews.” - Matthew 1:1-17; Matthew 2:1. - Notice that He is born King of the Jews. There is nothing else He needed to do ...read more

    What Does It Mean That Jesus Was A ‘ransom’ For Us? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 22, 2014
     | 4,902 views

    A look at the correct understanding of "ransom" (it's not an extortion) and four key ideas that help us understand it.

    PAYING "RANSOM"? Does this mean that God gave into extortion? - 1 Timothy 2:6. - A ransom is a price paid for someone’s freedom. - It’s an easy idea to get off-track on if you don’t watch it. - How so? Sometimes a ransom is basically extortion. Someone kidnaps someone and ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 22, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 16,101 views

    The prosperity gospel tells us that "favor" means God makes our lives easier and more prosperous. But here, Mary is called "highly favored." What does that mean for Mary and what can we learn from her?

    PROSPERITY GOSPEL: Some people today teach that having “God’s favor” means unlimited blessings. - This is true of prosperity gospel preachers, but it’s also true of a lot of American Christians who know a lot more about America than the New Testament. WHAT DID "FAVOR WITH GOD" ACTUALLY ...read more

    The Pilgrimage Road Of Faith: What Does It Mean To Walk By Faith? Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 6, 2024
     | 630 views

    This road can only be walked by faith. It can only be walked in deep connection to God through Jesus Christ. We’re going to press toward the goal on this road.

    How do we walk the road of faith? It's completely different than walking as a man of the world. So, we become like toddlers who are unable to walk, and we must learn to walk. How does that work? God walks before us, in front of us, holding our hands, and teaches us to walk by faith. He does ...read more

    God is not a big muscle-guy waiting to pounce on us if we do something morally wrong.

    Trinity Sunday 2023 If you walked in a little late for our service today, you may have arrived after all the Scripture was proclaimed. Except for the psalm, we are given only eleven verses in the OT and NT to consider. But they are very dense in meaning. God is not a big muscle-guy waiting to ...read more

    Stand with me, hold up your Bible and repeat after me. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I can do what it says I can do. I am going to learn how to be what it says I can be. Today I will learn more of the word of God. The indestructible, never ending, living word Of God. I will ...read more

    To be assured of our salvation sets us free to serve the Lord free without the fear of Hell. Jesus made many wonderful promises to give the believer assurance so he could serve the Lord with gladness and freedom.

    Paul tells us that sharing our faith begins with prayer, it begins with a right attitude, and it begins with living and speaking the truth.

    What Is Our Purpose. Series

    Like God called John to a specific purpose—before birth and before he could qualify himself for the task—He calls us to spread His story of salvation to the world—even when we don’t feel capable of doing the job.

    You know, I do think we all have a purpose on this earth. The reason we have skills and talents, and passions are so that we can serve the greater community, earn a living, and also live life. I have seen in my own life that sometimes we hit this mid-life crisis scenario where we question our ...read more

    Sometimes when you hear passages like today’s bible reading you can find yourself asking the question. Does this really apply to me? You maybe saying hey I already have a life. I have a family.
