When we consider ALL that God has created, we seem so small in the grand scheme of things. Yet, in light of all the other things we see in the universe, we are extremely valuable to the Lord and He remembers us and thinks about us! We must stop letting our culture, our society, our 'friends,' and our family chip away, downplay, denigrate, or distract us from the value we possess in the eyes of God...

In this class we continue to expound the truths revealed in John 1:1-5. John tells us that through Him, "all things came into being" (John 1:3). This is clearly an allusion to Genesis chapter 1.

We present overwhelming evidence that John is referencing Genesis 1, since the exact form *egeneto* used h...

Throu...

In "Sending the Seventy-Two, Names Written in Heaven," a study of Luke 10:1-24, Jesus tells His people to pray for laborers, then sends them, ordinary followers, ahead of Him as lambs among wolves, with urgency, dependence, and an unchanging message: the kingdom of God has come near. Received or rejected, a town hears the same sentence; only whether it arrives as good news or warning differs, and...

That the wicked exploit the vulnerable (2–4) 2. The poor suffer, while the wicked prosper (5–12) and also: 3. That the wicked love darkness rather than light (13–17). However, Job would have us contemplate the reason why – God being...
