We know what it feels like to be thirsty. But sometimes our thirst runs much deeper than water can reach. That’s exactly what happened in the story of the woman at the well. Her encounter with Jesus in John 4:1-42 is one of the most personal and life-changing moments recorded in the Bible. Through their […]

A common New Year’s expression is “out with the old, in with the new.” The New Year is a great time to take stock, make a new start, and resolve to do better in our lives. Since God specializes in new beginnings in the Bible, I thought we could look at some verses that would

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase “Jesus is the King of kings”? I immediately think of Handel’s Hallelujah chorus- the swelling voices proclaiming “King of Kings!

There is a lot of meaning in our names. I remember poring over baby name books trying to find just the right name for our children. But today I want to look at the greatest of all the names of God; the name God gave himself- the Great I AM.  

What happened in the 400 years between Malachi and Matthew? These 400 years of silence are called the Intertestamental period– the time between the Old Testament and the New Testament. God stopped speaking to the Hebrew people through the prophets and there is no Scripture to guide us through this time in Biblical history. But

What does the Bible teach us about Jesus as judge? He is described as a judge in many places and tells us who has given Him the authority to act as judge on the human race:  “The Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgement to the Son.” (John 5:22) It was a gift and
