PSALM 2 “UNCENSORED” 8/27/2022

Possibly the most famous question ever asked of Jesus was voiced by Pontus Pilate when he demanded to know if Jesus was really a king. Jesus’ response was:  “…for this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My […]

AUTHOR and FINISHER…MESSIAH Part Six

The Compromising Church   In this critical hour of history, one thing that is sadly missing in many churches today is a message of real spiritual substance. When we read back over church history, it is noteworthy that it was not some great ecclesiastical, theological finesse that brought about the great revivals. Rather, it was plain and simple preaching about […]

The Persecuted Church The second of the seven churches that the Messiah addressed in Revelation chapters 2 and 3, is the Church of Smyrna.

THE “BE” ATTITUDES Matthew 5:1-12 Part Eight (Final)

Continued From Part Seven… After presenting seven beatitudes, Jesus then spoke about a blessing that the soon to be established Church would experience in great measure for the next 2,000 years. He said in verses 10-12: Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute […]

THE “BE” ATTITUDES Matthew 5: 1-12 Part Five

Continued from Part Four… After talking with His disciples about hungering and thirsting for righteousness, Jesus went on to say: Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Verse 7 Like with many of the teachings of Jesus, the way He has taught His followers to live seems totally backward to our way of thinking. Merciful people in today’s […]

WISE AS SERPENTS, HARMLESS AS DOVES
