The Book Of Mark #58

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

Most preachers enjoy the preaching of God’s Word. Why shouldn’t they…they have one of the greatest and most rewarding jobs that a person could have.

But every preacher has to deal with people who attend to hear him preach the sermon, but do not come to hear God’s Word preached! They come to find fault with what he preaches. For example, • One Bible preacher was preaching a sermon from the Word of God, and he stated that a lot of the ...read more

In His final week of public ministry, Jesus confronted a series of challenging questions His enemies attempted to use as traps. One question dealt with the issue of paying taxes to Caesar. Jesus' surprising answer would settle the issues of loyalty and obligation to both God and Caesar.

He exposed the moneymaking schemes of the religious leaders, rebuked their practices, and drove out the merchants who ...read more

Jesus Questioned About Paying Taxes Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Sep 25, 2023

So knowing that the U.S. government apparently is somewhat reckless in how it spends money, should we still pay our taxes faithfully? Or should we try to get around our taxes?

It’s a massive amount of money that we’re talking about, but despite that, the U.S. government is currently 33.1 trillion dollars in debt, ...read more
