Which Jesus Do You Follow?
Contributed on Mar 4, 2025
There's only one true Jesus, but there are many false concepts of Jesus whom people follow. Do you follow a religious Jesus who requires rituals and works for salvation. Then, think again.
As we mentioned in our bulletin this morning, we begin a new series of messages today entitled "Meet the Real Jesus?' And I'm going to begin this morning by asking each of you here, "Which Jesus do you follow?" Now, yes, I'm anticipating some questions or comments which ...read more

Contributed on Mar 4, 2025
Zaccheus demonstrated the humble heart of a child in seeking Jesus. Jesus responded by pursuing Zaccheus and seeing him come to repentant and saving faith.

Contributed on Nov 12, 2009
I had been a Christian only a few months when I felt compelled to witness to my father. In the midst of the discussion, I remember a question which he blurted out in frustration.
