    We are to have a similar mind among ourselves, which is ours in Christ Jesus who became obedient to death.

    Philippians 2:2-12 INTRODUCTION A friend recently said to me, "Life would be so much simpler if it weren't for other people." Of course we laughed at the obvious truth of his statement, but also at the irony that people are what make up our lives. It is living in community where the rubber mets ...read more

    John 19:23-30 “Last Words” INTRODUCTION None of us like change. Sometimes even being introduced to something new is threatening. As we ponder the events of the first Good Friday, we are witnesses to the response of the world powers (at that time) to a message of love and ...read more

    Whese's The Kingdom Series

    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Apr 19, 2014
     | 5,578 views

    Jesus stands before Pilate. Jesus’ kingdom is not from this world, but he is still King of kings and Lord of lords.

    John 18:28-40 "Where's the Kingdom?" INTRODUCTION It has often been said that Jesus, "Lived so that he could die." Such comments stress the crucifixion, but down play Jesus' life.

    Jesus is the resurrection and the life. We see this in his raising of Lazarus, in our everyday lives, and at the time when we face death.

    John 11:1-44 “Death and Life” INTRODUCTION God’s ways are not our ways. We spend a great deal of time reminding ourselves of this truth, while at the same time attempting to figure out what God’s ways really are. In the gospel lesson today, we see this question ...read more
