Can These Bones Live?

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 13, 2021

For Israel, “the exile had become not only their physical but national burial site. Their hopes, dreams, glories, and nationalism had been entombed in an alien land.” The question for a dying nation: “Can These Bones Live?”

Jesus Christ: Our Divine Teacher, Part 2

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 4, 2022

Nicodemus had been confronted with the fact that his religious zeal will not make him righteous before God. It is only by being "born again" through the work of Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins that we are forgiven and restored to a true relationship with God.

When Dry Bones Can Live Again

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 1, 2021

Bringing Life To Dead Bones (Ezekiel 37:1-14)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 9, 2024

This chapter describes a tragic episode in the history of Israel as a nation. It paints a bleak picture of its past but also ...read more
