The new priest offered his first sermon to his congregation. As the people left, many stopped and complimented him on his preaching. He thanked them, went through the week and, the next Sunday, noticed a larger congregation. Some of the parishioners looked at each other during the sermon

Oswald Chambers once said,
“We trample the blood of the Son of God if we think we are forgiven because we are sorry for our sins. The only explanation for the forgiveness of God... is the death of Jesus Christ... There is absolute reinstatement into God by the death of Jesus Christ and by no

JESUS DID RISE
Pollster George Gallup said even 84 percent of people who never go to church believe Jesus rose from the dead. It is historical fact; it wasn’t done in secret. The whole city of Jerusalem and the whole Roman Empire knew about it. It was news. If CNN had been there, they would have

This is real – Jesus is alive.
I few years ago I along with others prayed for a man who was miraculously healed. Turns out the very moment that we were praying the man was fully healed. I mean jumping out of the hospital bed – pull out the tubes healed. His family urgently called that afternoon

1. Give the keys to Jesus.
Letting anyone drive our vehicle is tough. I admit that at times I’m not the best passenger, especially when it’s my vehicle. Just ask my wife.
And just for the record, I think my wife’s a great driver. If I didn’t think so, I wouldn’t let her take my kids

I SAW JESUS. ~~Author Unknown~~
I saw Jesus last week.
He was wearing blue jeans and an old shirt.
He was up at the church building;
He was alone and working hard.
For just a minute he looked a little like one of our members.
But it was Jesus,I could tell by his smile.
I saw Jesus last Sunday.

BRING THEM TO JESUS
Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, famous evangelist, said that the New Testament records tell of forty people, each suffering from the same disease, who were healed by Jesus.
Of this number, thirty-four were either brought to Jesus by friends, or He was taken to them. In only six cases

JESUS, MONEY & STUFF
I want us to note this: When people came to Jesus, Jesus never, never, gave them money. He never gave them stuff. And yet, what do we ask for? Stuff. How ridiculous. So then, isn’t it obvious? If Jesus never gave anyone money… or stuff, while he was walking the earth in His
