Who does Jesus love most?
Quite simply, He loves his Father in heaven the most. Jesus told us the most important commandment is to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind” Matthew 22:36. Certainly, that was what Jesus did. The depth of his love for God was demonstrated on the [...]
When was Jesus crucified? It was not Friday, because He said He would be dead three days and three nights
This can certainly be a puzzling question! By our way of counting, the third day would seem to be on Monday, but it seems the phrase "for three days" can really indicate parts of three days. He was in the grave for part of Friday, all of Saturday, and part of Sunday, so parts of [...]
The precious blood of Jesus not only paid for our sins, but also the breaking of generational curses. Why do most pastors keep on reminding us that we have generational curses when Jesus has paid the price? Also, does the curse of Ham apply today?
The blood of Jesus pays for our sins. 1 Timothy 2:5,6: “…the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a ransom for all to be testified in due time.” This testimony has been delivered to those whom God has called to be part of the church class - the "bride of Christ."

Hebrews (13:16) says, “But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.” In Luke (3:11), we read, “Anyone who [...]

The parable of the talents illustrates the individual responsibility of every Christian to serve God. Christian living is much more than saying, “I accept Jesus.” We are to demonstrate our salvation by service through our works. (James 2:17-26). Remember that Jesus, himself, was called a servant. (See Matthew 12:18; Acts 3:13, 26; Acts 4:27, 30.) [...]
What does "poor in spirit" mean in Matthew 5:3?
“Blessed are the poor in spirit (humble-minded) for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” The Greek word translated “poor” has the significance of utter destitution, extreme poverty. Thus, a full appreciation of our own spiritual destitution is essential in order to receive the divine grace provided by Jesus, our Lord. And not only must our poverty [...]
