 Jeremiah spent over 40 years as God’s messenger. During those many years his heart was often heavy; he shed many tears; he felt alone! In this lesson we want to examine his MISSION – what did God want him to accomplish? It is important to realize that Jeremiah was not expected to lead the nation [...]

 As we continue our study of Jeremiah, today we look at the man himself. His book gives us many details about his personality and his background which aid in our understanding and appreciation of him. His hometown was Anathoth, just a few miles northeast of Jerusalem. He was of the Levite tribe, the son of [...]

 
The book of Jeremiah in the Old Testament is a mystery to most Christians – just like most of the other prophetic books. Except for occasional references to prophecies about Jesus found in Bible classes or sermons, we feel at a loss to recall much that we know about these men and their work on [...]

 In this final lesson in our series, Twelve Who Dared, we look at what followed the Day of Pentecost. Acts 2 was only the beginning of the apostles’ obedience to the Great Commission. Click the blue button to listen.

 As Jesus prepared to return to heaven after His resurrection, he met with His apostles several times to both strengthen their faith in His resurrection and to teach them in preparation for their mission.

John MacArthur in his book, Twelve Ordinary Men, makes note that Jesus chose his twelve, at least in part because they were ordinary! Their eventual impact on the world would result from their message and faith, not their extraordinary abilities or charisma. The same will be true of us as well. Today we look at [...]

Thomas. . . Matthew. . . James the Less – three apostles of Jesus about whom we know little. In today’s message to look at what we can know, and what we might reasonably conclude, concerning these three men whom Jesus loved! We will discover today that these three may have all been brothers! That is [...]

Though they were carefully chosen by Jesus, spent three years being trained by him, and were sent out to preach the good news about Him to the whole world, we have very little detail about 9 of the 12 He called apostles. Today we look at what we can of three of the 9 – [...]

On this 234th birthday of our nation, we are reminded that "freedom is not free," either in a political or a spiritual sense. We all recognize many "hymns" of our nation which reflect the spiritual faith of our forefathers – such as "God Bless America" and "America the Beautiful." However, none is more "biblical" in [...]
