    Jesus has been active for over two years, and His disciples have been there to witness His teaching and miracles. He asks them a question that we all need to answer: "Who do men say that I am?". Your answer determines your eternal destiny.

    So far in reading about the life and ministry of the Lord Jesus, we see that He has been active for two years or more, preaching the Word, teaching the people, performing miracles of healing, deliverance from demons, feeding crowds, stilling storms, and showing His mastery over the elements by ...read more

    It explains why it is important to believe Jesus as the Son of God.

    Christian Repentance As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be committed and repent. Listen! I stand at the door and knock.

     | 14,564 views

    There are countless verses about the benefits of “waiting on the Lord,” BUT…I’ve found quoting the verses to be a whole lot easier than the actual “waiting on the Lord.” Sometimes it seems like God is running late. What’s the deal? Why is He making us wait? Why is He allowing this delay?

    Christmas Beyond The Manger - Why The Birth Of Jesus Was A Divine Invasion, Not A Holiday Tradition

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Dec 14, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 156 views

    Christmas is far more than a tradition. It is the declaration that God has not abandoned humanity. It is the announcement that darkness does not have the final word. It is the proof that love is stronger than sin and life is stronger than death.

    CHRISTMAS BEYOND THE MANGER Why the Birth of Jesus Was a Divine Invasion, Not a Holiday Tradition Introduction For many people, Christmas has become a familiar scene. A manger, soft music, decorations, gifts, and warm family moments. While these are not wrong, they can easily reduce one of the ...read more

    Don't Offend My Children, Or Else

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Sep 21, 2021
     | 1,599 views

    Even as Jesus suffered offense at the hands of others, every Christian shall likewise suffer. How we respond to this offense is important.

    Don't Offend MY Children, or Else! Mark 9:38-50 It is a bit odd that this week’s gospel text from the lectionary begins with John’s response to what Jesus had just said. It is poor practice to start in the middle of a paragraph. Before we can analyze this text, we need to ask: “What was John ...read more

    Easter shows that Jesus is who He claimed to be, He has the power He claimed to have, and He does what He promised to do. Our past can be forgiven, our present can be managed and our future is secured.
