ARE YOU A PART OF THE FAMILY OF GOD?
In Luke 5:12-13 we see Jesus doing a miracle that was supposed to show the religious leaders that He really was God. The man knows Jesus can heal him and so he begs Jesus to heal him of his leprosy. Leprosy in the bible is a picture of sin in that it is not just...
WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE NEED
In Luke 5 Jesus does another miracle that shows He is God in human flesh. This miracle so astounds Peter that He realizes he is a sinner and how unclean he is in the presence of Jesus. Being in this position is one that can lead us to trust in Christ, first as...
ARE YOU A TRUE FOLLOWER?
If you call yourself a follower of Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ is your King, and you address Him and say, “Yes, Sir.” If you call yourself a believer in Jesus Christ this is the authoritative, truthful Word of God and you do not play with it, but you submit to it....
HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THE PROBLEMS OF LIFE AND WHERE DO YOU GO TO GET HELP?
In Luke 4:4 Jesus said, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. This is when Jesus is being tempted in the wilderness. If Jesus is quoting this as He is being tempted, how much more do you think we need to read, know and...
DOES OUR LIFE PLEASE GOD?
Jesus at His baptism was shown to be the Son of God by the Holy Spirit descending in bodily form LIKE a dove. This is God saying this Man is not like any man, He is not just a good man, a prophet, or a good teacher, He is the GOD MAN, The Savior of the World. This...

THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF A BIRTH THAT BRINGS JOY

MAKING GODLY DECISIONS
In Luke 1:67-70 we see God open the mouth of Zacharias after having shut it because of unbelief in what God had told him in the temple. God uses him to speak about the promises of salvation through Jesus Christ which had been foretold since the beginning of time...
ARE YOU CAREFUL ABOUT WHO’S PREACHING AND TEACHING YOU LISTEN TO OR READ?
There are people out there that want to draw us away from God and lure us into other things that ultimately will cause our downfall. In the Old Testament and today this is one of the worst things a person can do is lead another away from God. We need to be very...
WHERE DO YOU SEEK WISDOM?
These commands to put the word on their hand and forehead were not literal commands but commands to remind them of how important God’s word is to us. God told the Israelites and therefore us too to always keep the word of God in the forefront of all that we do. We...
CAN PEOPLE TELL YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN?
Just as Israel was to be different from all the other nations we as Christians are to be different from all those around us who don’t know the Lord. We too are called holy and need to deal mercilessly with the sin in our lives as they were to do. We like the...
WHY DO YOU THINK GOD GAVE US THE 10 COMMANDMENTS?
