Biblical hope is a confident expectation in the goodness, control and Word of God. We can only have confident expectation in someone or something that does not change. James 1:17 says, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”  Hebrews 13:8 reminds us of the dependability of Chris...

Christmas is the time that we celebrate Jesus taking on human flesh. He truly was the God-man. He was born of a virgin and was not tainted with the curse of sin. He was perfectly holy! What a wonder His birth was (Luke 2:16). The next time we see Jesus is at the age of twelve when He was in the temple listening to and asking questions of Rabbis (Luke 2:46). Then we see Him at His baptism at the ag...

We have all heard it said of the Christmas, “It is the most wonderful time of the year." If we could see behind the wreath decorated doors, the glistening trees in the front room windows and the beautifully wrapped gifts awaiting Christmas morning, a different perspective would likely be gained. We might find a middle age lady weeping over the betrayal of a broken relationship, a young man who has...

The truth of the Gospel had triumph in their lives and they wanted the same for others. When Paul wrote his letter t...

Note — “After these things” formally began the solemn marches in the direction of Jerusalem, which ended, as we have stated, in the last Passover.

Paul is in the middle of his third missionary journey. He has just left places like Ephesus and Smyrna. God had been at work in major ways. In fact, every where that Paul preached the truth of the Gospel, it triumphed in lives.

In the context of the high cost of discipleship, Jesus selects and sends seventy of His followers into every city and place that He planned to go personally. Their mission was to preach of the Savior and urge men to turn to Him. Jesus gave them instructions and then sent them out in teams of two to accomplish the work. From this passage of Scripture, we catch the heart of our Savior work yet to be...

In chains, Paul declared his testimony of faith in Jesus Christ of Nazareth as he stood on the stairway of the Fortress Antonia with soldiers posted around him.

This kind was the kind of uprising that the Chief Captain, Claudiu...

His composure in the midst of chaos opened up a God-sized opportunity to be share his story of salvation in Jesus Christ. We can all learn from Paul’s example to...
