This lesson examines three attitudes which one can have toward Jesus. Each person would accept the Jesus as Christ-both his humanity and divinity. I hope to focus attention on Jesus and His identity as God and man.
You do not have to be a great evangelist; you just have to try. Even a clumsy effort to share the gospel beats silence. Jesus rejects the lukewarm (Revelation 3:16).
God is a God of justice (Deuteronomy 32:4), yet injustice happens in this fallen world (Ecclesiastes 3:16). True justice is found only through faith in Jesus.
In this lesson, we will focus on John 3:16 as we seek to answer the question, “Who is Jesus?” Jesus is 1) the Son of God, 2) the Savior, and 3) the Personification of Grace and Truth. This lesson seeks to provide a basic answer to the question who is Jesus for those who are seeking rudimentary knowledge.
This lesson seeks to address the question of can we know truth in our relativistic culture. The objective of this lesson is to equip high school and college students to defend their faith regarding truth.
Yes, the Bible is inerrant as originally given because it is inspired by God, who does not lie (2 Timothy 3:16). Alleged contradictions do not hold up under study.
To be honest with our families we must understand 1) Why we don’t tell the truth, 2) Why we should tell the truth. I hope that each of our families are open and honest with each other permitting Christ to govern our family life.
To be honest with our families we must understand why we don’t tell the truth: 1) Fear of Discovery, 2) Fear of Punishment, 3) Fear of Retaliation, 4) Fear of Rejection, 5) Fear of Change. We want all of our families to be open and honest with each other permitting Christ to govern our family life.
The sunshine in my soul is 1) The Light of Jesus, 2) The Song of Jesus, 3) The Joy of Jesus. Each hearer should reflect on the song and its lyrics as we seek to sing with the spirit and understanding.
What does the church do about living in a post-truth culture? We keep on doing the same thing we have always done, speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15).
Who, in their right mind, would cheer the death of a newborn infant? Yet, some would cheer the death of infants seconds from begin born.
Sometimes we overgeneralize and jump to conclusions. This is a bad practice.
Some will not endure sound doctrine because of itching ears (2 Timothy 4:3-4). When the Bible challenges our desires, we must be corrected and repent (Revelation 3:19).
In Psalm 24:1 we have the basic principle that God owns everything and everybody: “The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein.” The apostle Paul quotes this Psalm in 1 Corinthians 10:26, 28 further emphasizing the truth.
The Bible talks about Jesus’ compassion (Matthew 15:32, 20:34, Mark 5:19, Mark 6:34, Luke 7:13). He really did care for others while He lived on the earth.
Not too long ago, President Trump was criticized for calling gang members “animals.”
What will be the fate of the rest? “But as for those whose hearts follow the desire for their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their deeds on their own heads,” (Ezekiel 11:21-22).

Only the use of verbal communication when combined with spiritual words and an attitude of love can accomplish this task. Knowledge alone does not accomplish this task. Knowledge separated from love does not edify, it merely puffs up (1 Corinthians 8:1). However, biblical edification is the loving impartation of spiritual instruction designed to build up the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of the student to the motivation of accomplishing the work of the kingdom.
A Christian who displays brotherly kindness is going to be 1) Gracious and Giving, 2) Challenging and Truthful, and 3) Affectionate and Loving. The hearer should understand what it means to love someone as a brother or sister in Christ by displaying the characteristics of brotherly kindness. The aim of this lesson is to familiarize the hearer with scriptures that discuss these qualities.
