What did Jesus Christ have against the scribes and Pharisees? There are many passages in the Gospels where Jesus Christ speaks out against the doctrine and the practices of the scribes and Pharisees.

As Jesus makes His way to Jerusalem on that last week before the cross, He enters the area with great fanfare. People celebrate His coming and give him a "royalty-like" welcome.

So often in Scripture we see marked contrasts in the way people react compared to the manner in which we believe they should act. Part of our advantage is retrospect. We see the story later and are sometimes amazed at people's response. Apparently, so was Jesus. Such was the case when Jesus heals ten men whose bodies were riddled with leprosy. After coming to Jesus for mercy and healing, when...

The story of the Prodigal Son is one of great hope beyond our sin the repentance that brings us home and back to a loving Father. What follows is a great celebration.

While David was just a boy in Bethlehem God’s prophet announced that one day he would be king of Israel. For David, the Game of LIFE seemed pretty set and he was destined to be a winner. But it was not a straight line from tending sheep on a hillside near Bethlehem, and sitting on the throne ruling God’s people in Jerusalem. There were several detours along the way. Because of the jealousy and rag...
