What is the meaning of the ‘Triumphal Entry’ or ‘Palm Sunday’?
The Triumphal Entry occurred on what is known today among many as ‘Palm Sunday.’ Normally, the Triumphal Entry is interpreted to represent the time when Yeshua (Jesus) came and officially offered Himself as the King of the Jews and as Israel’s Messiah. But that is not the best interpretation of the actual significance of the Triumphal Entry, because Yeshua had already been offering Himself as the Messiah and the King of the Jews for the previous three and one-half years. Israel had already rejected the Messiahship of Jesus about a year and one- half earlier (Mat. 12:22-45). At that point, Yeshua …

Led by Grace
Led by Grace Genesis 50:1–21 Joseph threw himself on his father and wept over him and kissed him. 2 Then Joseph told the physicians who served him to embalm his father’s body; so Jacob* was embalmed. 3 The embalming process took the usual forty days. And the Egyptians mourned his death for seventy days. 4 When the period of mourning was over, Joseph approached Pharaoh’s advisers and said, “Please do me this favor and speak to Pharaoh on my behalf. 5 Tell him that my father made me swear an oath. He said to me, ‘Listen, I am about to …
THE CROSS OF CHRIST
THE CROSS OF CHRIST Hebrews 10:1-14 (KJV) 10 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take …
What The Lord Jesus Suffered For Us
The Church is a group of people who have suffered in this life, but have been redeemed. We know where we are going when we leave this earth. Deaths, divorce, financial issues, health problems and more have altered our lives. Unfortunately it is the condition of the world into which we have been born. No matter how much difficulty we experience in this world the God of the universe has suffered more than we can imagine correcting it. It is helpful that we take this time to attempt to develop an understanding however feeble of what God has done for …
In Search of Wholeness
A perfect existence isn’t possible, but through Christ, we can live with a sense of deep satisfaction. In Search of Wholeness John 6:26 – 6:35 26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. 27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. 28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, …
I AM.
Dr. Mike Murphy “I thought these eyes had seen everything. That these ears had heard all they could ever hear. I heard the words He spoke at the pool of Bethesda, and I watched in amazement as a man who could not walk for thirty-eight years got on his feet. On a hillside near Capernaum, I listened as the words He spoke took away the pride and deception of so many hearts. And as I looked in the eyes of the crowd that day, I watched in amazement as those same hearts were filled with a loving faith. I watched …
The True League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen!
Dr. Mike Murphy Ordinary men by the world’s standards. The world saw nothing special or spectacular about them. They were just working men. Not a one was professing clergymen. None had been called to the priesthood. Most were considered uneducated for the day they lived. If you had decided you need a group of men to build a religion on, these would have probably been near the bottom of your list. But when Christ called them, their lives became extraordinary! Through these “ordinary” man, Christ changed the world as we knew it. They took the message of Christ to parts …
Be encouraged ….God is Sovereign…..
Be encouraged ….God is Sovereign….. “God’s supremacy over the works of His hands is vividly depicted in Scripture. Inanimate matter, irrational creatures, all perform their Maker’s bidding. At His pleasure, the Red Sea divided and its waters stood up as walls (Ex. 14); the earth opened her mouth, and guilty rebels went down alive into the pit (Num. 14). When He so ordered, the sun stood still (Joshua 10:13); and on another occasion went backward ten degrees on the dial of Ahaz (Isaiah 38:8). To exemplify His supremacy, He made ravens carry food to Elijah (1 Kings 17); iron to …
Are you eagerly awaiting His Return?
Are you eagerly awaiting His Return? ************************************* The Bible says that true believers aren’t of this world. Nothing in this world is to make us more excited than the place Jesus had gone to prepare for us! Philippians 3:18-21 says : “… For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things. For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly …
Seeing God
Reflections Seeing God I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye sees You. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes. (Job 42:5-6) Here we find the reason for Job’s trial. He had not sinned against God – God Himself had called him a good and upright man, who loved good and hated evil. But no matter how much we are walking in the light, there is always more light. There is always more of Jesus to see. And suffering adjusts us for doing so. Job had apparently known much TRUE …
