In our Wednesday Evening Bible Study on the Miracles of Jesus we have come to the second of two miracles recorded in Luke 7. The first miracle is Jesus healing the centurion’s servant (Luke 7:1-10). This parallels the account of Elisha healing Naaman of leprosy (2 Kings 5:1-14). In both cases the person healed was…

Psalm 119 is the longest of the psalms and the longest chapter in the Bible. The author is unnamed; older commentators almost universally said it is a psalm of David, composed throughout his entire life. More modern commentators sometimes conclude that it was written following the exile, coming from the days of Ezra or Nehemiah….

Matthew 7:15-23 contains a two-sided warning about false believers. There are those who appear respectable and wise, but you must look at their fruit to know if they are the real deal. In the same way, it’s possible for a person to claim to follow Jesus, referring to Him as “Lord,” when they are not…

Matthew 7:13-14 (NIV) “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. As Jesus nears the conclusion of the Sermon on…

On Wednesday evenings we are looking at the miracles of Jesus as recorded in the gospels. So far we have looked at three miracles of Jesus casting out demons, two of the three resurrection miracles, and the healing of a woman with a prolonged bleeding problem. This week we move into Luke 7 which records…

In our Wednesday evening Bible Study we have been looking at the account of the resurrection of Lazarus, found only in John 11:1-44. Here is a quick review of what we have looked at so far: Jesus has left the vicinity of Jerusalem to avoid hostile religious leaders (John 10:38-40). While gone, He receives word…

This week we resume our series from Jesus’ “Sermon on the Mount” recorded for us in Matthew 5-7. In Matthew 7:9-11 Jesus continues his teaching on prayer from the previous two verses. In Matthew 7:7-8 Jesus said we should ask, seek, and knock and those who do will receive, find, and have the door opened….

Most congregations of the “church of Christ” do not formally recognize “Easter Sunday” as a religious holiday or special day to commemorate the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Most commemorate this event on the “first day of the week” following the example preserved for us in Acts 20:7 “On…

2 Timothy 4:1-8 contains Paul’s last ministry instructions to Timothy. Paul knows that he will not survive his current imprisonment. So, he clearly and boldly charges Timothy—commands him—to hold to the faith he has seen and lived. Timothy can do this knowing that Paul has faithfully served God, expecting the heavenly rewards given to all…
