Like everyone else who followed Jesus, Judas was probably expecting Jesus Christ to overthrow Rome and break the yoke of Roman oppression and deliver Israel, establishing a restored kingdom, and richly reward His followers. But every day Judas and the other disciples witnessed the character and compassion of Christ, they heard His words and they saw His works. Every single day was a display of the grace of God for Judas and for the rest of the twelve.

A study of Judas’ life reveals that he enjoyed many of the same …

(2 Timothy 2:1-7)…..You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. ² And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. ³ You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. ⁴ No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. ⁵ And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not …

The greatest event of history, is the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. When the two women called Mary came to the tomb on the morning after Christ rose, they were greeted by an angel of the Lord with these words: “He is not here; for He is risen as He said, Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

(Psalm 16:1-2)…..Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust. ² O my soul, you have said to the Lord, “You are my Lord, my goodness is nothing apart from You.”

(Romans 8:32)…..He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

Most people approach prayer as an exercise in convincing God to help. They think they must twist God’s arm, or promise to do something, in order to get God to give them anything. The New Testament paints a different picture. God not only is a willing giver, but has already given! He is not holding back on us in any way! When He …

Look at the mess this world is in today. This is the result of generations of people rejecting the true God of heaven and worshiping the creature (His creation) more than it worships Him (Romans 1). Are you afraid of what you see? How do we act in this ungodly world as Christians?

(2 Timothy 1:6-8)…..⁶ Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. ⁷ For God has not given us a spirit of fear, …
