Why Is The Kingdom Open To The ‘least Of These’? Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 20, 2026

We are familiar with Jesus talking about "the least of these," but why are they a target of the Kingdom? This parable gives us insight into that question.

Why The Gospel Is Greater Than Miracles

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jun 22, 2025

The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus is amazing for a number of reasons. One reason that we will look at today is that Jesus makes a clear statement that what will bring people to Christ is not great miracles, but simply God's Word shared with them.

Why the Gospel is Greater than Miracles Good Morning. Our lesson this morning, Jesus’ Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, comes in response to the Pharisees having come once again to argue with Jesus.

Why Paul Wanted To Send Timothy

Contributed by Barnabas Park on Apr 25, 2025

Why Did God Choose The Shepherds? Series

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Dec 11, 2025

Time and time again in the Scriptures, we see that God chooses the most unlikely candidates to serve him - David the shepherd to be king, fishermen to be apostles, and in this passage, the lowly shepherds to be the first to meet the newborn Christ child. Why?

One of the things I enjoy most about Biblical narrative—that is, the historical accounts in the Old and New Testament—is how often God does something completely unexpected.
