Bible lessons by Bobby Price
By Babylon Bee, edited by Bobby Price It’s important to count the cost before you decide to follow Jesus. Luckily, we read the Bible, asked a few pastor guys, and checked Twitter, and we came up with these compelling pros and important cons to consider before you make the leap. Are you thinking about following…
The question is often before us whether Saturday, as the Sabbath, or Sunday, as the Lord’s Day, is the right day of worship. Much, if not most, of the confusion comes because we miss the meaning of the original Sabbath regulation which required man to set aside the last day of the week for rest…
John 2:13-22 contains Jesus’ first “cleansing” of the Temple where he denounces their evil practices concerning worship of God. This is such a great example of anger used in a godly way. This is one of the most violent reactions Jesus has. He drives out the animals. He turned over the tables of the money-changers.…
Eating lunch at a small café, Mark Reed of Camarillo, California saw a sparrow hop through the open door and peck at the crumbs near his table. When the crumbs were gone, the sparrow hopped to the window ledge, spread its wings and took flight. Brief flight. It smashed against the windowpane and fell to…
In John 2:1-12 is the first miracle done by Jesus that John records. It is the miracle of water to wine, which seems less than significant compared to all the other miracles. Personally, I made this connection in my study and came to appreciate the miracle so much more now. John keeps track of the…
[Jhn 1:14 ESV] 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. The incarnation is absolutely necessary for the salvation of mankind. There would be no way for God to save man apart from…

We knew our physical attendance numbers would be much, much smaller than the previous February. We required registration, masks, temperature checks, and social distancing. We capped our registration at…
Reading through Acts, I found a statement that struck me. I must not have thought about this in my past readings of Acts. In Acts 13, Paul is preaching to Jews in Antioch when the Jews “were filled with jealousy and began to contradict what was spoken by Paul, reviling him” (v. 45). I want…
by James Coffman edited by Bobby Price In John 10:35, Jesus makes the sidenote, “Scripture cannot be broken.” What does this mean? It means that the Bible is inspired. It identifies the Old Testament as scripture in the fullest sense. It means that Jesus believed the Bible. It means that the Bible is an infallible…
The conscience is a moral guide created by God to be followed and corrected by God’s word. In Acts 24, Paul is asked to give his story like many other instances. But in this instance he says something unique here that I want to spend some time on, [Act 24:16 NIV] So I strive always…
