Reducing The Ark Of God To A Good Luck Charm

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Dec 1, 2021

And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see Him with my own eyes - I, and not ...read more

Longing For The Food In Egypt

Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Sep 30, 2023

When things get rough and disorienting, the predictability of the past starts looking pretty good. The story of the Exodus, with its powerful imagery of liberation from Egyptian slavery, holds a significant place in African American culture and history.

I Am The Light Of The World Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 4, 2009

What does it mean when Jesus says He is the Light of the World? He spoke to a culture thoroughly verse in the Old Covenant, and so to understand the significance of His words, we will need to explore what the people heard when He spoke.

”Again Jesus spoke to [the Jewish leaders], saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’ So the Pharisees said to him, ‘You are bearing witness about yourself; your testimony is not true.’ Jesus answered, ‘Even if I do bear ...read more
