Matthew 28:16–20 describes Jesus’ commissioning the eleven remaining disciples on a mountain in Galilee. He had given them a message to meet Him there. Now He appears and commands them to make disciples from the people of all nations on the earth. He calls on them to baptize these disciples in the name of the…

Acts 17:11
Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Like the Bereans we need to be examining the Scriptures for ourselves to see if what we are told is…
Sunday’s Coming
Last week’s lesson left us at the tomb. Jesus was dead and buried. It was Friday, but Sunday was coming. The disciples that had so faithfully followed Him for three years had all deserted Him. Judas had betrayed Him to those who crucified Him. Peter, who had vowed to die with Jesus (Matthew 26:35), Peter…
The Crucifixion
This week’s sermon focused on Jesus’ death on the cross. All four Gospels give an account of the crucifixion (Matthew 27:31–56, Mark 15:22–41, and Luke 23:32–49) but our focus today will be on John’s account recorded for us in John 19:17–42.
Romans 5:1-2
(NASB) Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we also have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we celebrate in hope of the glory of God.

Job 42
In our sermon this week, we conclude our series on Job by focusing on Job 42. There are so many lessons to be learned from Job’s 42 chapters such as the importance of being a good friend, the recognition that good people sometimes suffer and that not all suffering is a result of someone’s sin….
Faith that Saves
A great deal of religious confusion and division exists surrounding the meaning of faith. The Bible makes it clear that we are “saved by faith”. But to be clear, there are those who define faith to be nothing more than a mental agreement or acceptance of revealed facts, while others deny that “faith alone” is…
Elihu’s Speech to Job
In our previous lesson, the action revolved around Job and his three sorry friends. Suddenly, a new voice is heard. Elihu, a young man who has been listening in silence all this time, finally spoke up because he was angry with both Job and his friends (32:2). Job 32:12 I gave you my full attention….
