MORE  GREAT  SAINTS OF FAITH. MOSES’S MOTHER JOCHEBED. Before we honour Moses, we should honour his wonderful mother, Jochebed. She was indeed a woman of fearless faith. Read Exodus 2:1-10. Her faith was certainly passed on to Moses, the future deliverer of Israel. She was also the mother of Miriam and Aaron, who played key roles onContinue reading “4. THE BOOK OF HEBREWS.”

Another day just to be tolerated. WHY IS CHRISTMAS SO IMPORTANT? Is it because you canContinue reading “WHAT DOES CHRISTMAS MEAN TO YOU?”

INTRODUCTION. PAUL ENCOURAGES PERSECUTED BELIEVERS. Hebrews was written to new believers of that Church who were exposed to fierce persecution, including physical assault and imprisonment.

WHO WAS TITUS? Titus was a Gentile Christian and one of Paul’s converts during the Apostle’s ministry. He accompanied Paul and Barnabas to Jerusalem 17 years after Paul’s conversion. Titus was not the closest of Paul’s friends, but Paul loved him and called him “My son.” When Paul learned that Apollos was about to goContinue reading “THE BOOK OF TITUS.”
