John 3 Study
Today, I would like to explore John 3. This chapter is known for a few things, but one thing you may not have considered is how John touches upon the subject of the Holy Spirit.
Can you handle freedom?
I hope everyone in the United States had a meaningful Independence Day, a day where freedom is the main theme. Let me ask you, though, can you handle freedom? Can humanity handle freedom? Recent events and trends suggest otherwise. What is the problem? For all the talk about freedom, what…
Where are you now?
Let me ask you: Where are you now? Have you taken your bearings lately? A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a blonde woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a…
Plagues of Egypt
Our friends from down under have produced a video online course about the Plagues of Egypt. I’m sure it will be interesting to all. Standard disclaimer: I am not affiliated with Common Faith Academy, and this is not to be considered a wholehearted endorsement of all beliefs represented (and indeed…
Not Discerning the Lord’s Body
Looks like spring and warmer weather has finally arrived for the most part. As a public service, I want to remind everyone to reverse the cables on their car batteries so that the air conditioning comes on instead of the heat. OK, you don’t believe that. I suppose it means…

New Videos From Down Under
Firstly, I apologize. I thought for sure I had already posted these videos. Here are two new ones from our friends in Australia, albeit in a different organization (do I really have to put these disclaimers?).
Number 7 and Pentecost (and the other festivals)
A man dreams about the number 7 all night long. He wakes up, and the clock says 7:07. He is ready to dismiss it as coincidence but then looks at his phone and realizes it is July 7th. “It must be a sign!” he says out loud. So, he gets…
Forgiveness and the Passover
Little Johnny was learning in Bible class about sin, prayer and forgiveness. When the teacher finished the lesson, she asked, “What do we have to do before we ask the Lord for forgiveness?” Little Johnny raised his hand. No one else raised their hand, so the teacher reluctantly called on…
