Living Word

In the section Living Word we want to provide sermon outlines to help pastors in the preparation for their important and central task of preaching. We try to provide help in the exposition and the application of the text. We have 152 sermon outlines available at the moment! This week: Jonah 1:17-2:10.

Answered prayers

If we started with Jesus as the ultimate word of God to humankind, the Word incarnate, we now see him in his exaltation as the ultimate word of humankind to God. His resurrection has shown that he is the perfectly acceptable advocate for us sinners. His very presence with the Father pleads our cause, but pleads it from the God who loves to give his true children what they ask. Since this role of Jesus is from start to finish on our account, it gives us confidence to ‘draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith’ (Heb. 10:22). The intercession of Christ is the perpetual guarantee that we do not speak to thin air or to the ceiling when we pray through him. We have access to the Father through him who is the true image of God. Both Paul and the author of Hebrews assure us that there can be no ceiling to stop our prayers since we are accounted as being with Christ in the very presence of the Father.

Children's Devotions

"You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise" (Deut. 6:7) This is the instruction to all parents to bring the Word of God to their children at all times. However, it is not always easy to bring the Word of God to younger children. In this section we want to help all parents, grandparents, pastors, and Sunday School teachers with this important task.

Youth

This section has articles specifically for youth. The Lord promised that the outpouring of his Spirit will affect even the youth in a wonderful way (Acts 2:17). Therefore, youth will also be interested to learn what it means to be a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ.

Bible study

You can find material here that is suitable for Bible study. The purpose of these articles is to give an overview of longer Bible passages. This material is suitable for personal or group Bible study. Some of the Bible studies have questions which can be used for discussion.

Easy-to-understand Bible Studies

In this section we provide a wide variety of easy-to-understand Bible studies. Our aim is to cover topics related to the Christian faith, Christian life, leadership, pastoral care, and all other aspects of our life with the Lord. Each Bible study topic is subdivided into lessons to cover the main topic.

Although these Bible studies try to bring out the depth of Scripture, they do not use difficult words. They explain important biblical concepts. They address the core of the topic and are not long.
