AGAPE, THE LOVE OF GOD By: Frank Tunstall, D. Min. The love Jesus identifies in John 14:15, “if you love me,” is Jesus calling for agape love from His disciples. It is the God kind of love that always acts unselfishly and in the best interests of others, whether a person wants it or deserves […]
By: Frank Tunstall, D. Min. The name, Jesus Christ, means Savior-Messiah. As Jesus neared His cross, the Pharisees were seeking every opportunity possible to challenge Him. They knew He claimed to be Israel’s Savior-Messiah, but they saw it as unthinkable. They reasoned the true Messiah would not be willing to suffer the ultimate indignity of […]
By: Frank Tunstall, D. Min. The institution of the home and the family traces its origin to the heart of God. When God created Adam, he was the only one of his kind, with a miraculous genetic system that has functioned well through the millennia since that long ago day. Adam was a genius; one […]
By: Frank Tunstall, D. Min. A short seven weeks before Pentecost, the Jewish leadership had rejected their Messiah and brutally crucified Him.

By: Frank Tunstall, D. Min. The goal of this study is to choose four of the Jehovah names of God and present them as models for earthly dads. No father can do perfectly what these Jehovah names of God calls for, but dads can love the Lord and their family to the point the intentions […]
By: Frank G. Tunstall, D. Min. Philip the deacon was among those expelled from Jerusalem by the Jewish ruling authorities who used expulsion as a tool to try to control the spread of the gospel (Acts 8:1). Philip went to one of the towns in Samaria and “proclaimed the Christ there” (Acts 8:5). Jesus had […]
By: Frank Tunstall The prophets: “yearning to understand Messiah’s suffering and glory” (1 Peter 1:10-11 NIV). Spring is bursting out all around us. Grass, trees, bushes, flowers – they’re all experiencing a resurrection. Nature gives billions of witnesses to the resurrection. But nature is also limited. Only the story of the death and resurrection of […]
By: Frank Tunstall, D. Min. How important that we rethink our doctrine of repentance and rediscover sin is sin precisely because it violates God. “Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love,” King David pled following his tryst with Bathsheba that ended in her pregnant and her husband murdered. “According to your […]
