    A World Waiting For Jesus

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Oct 5, 2012
     | 7,028 views

    Sometimes we come across to others as people who seem very different from what we claim to be. This happens when we fail to practice what we preach. It also happens when others make assumption about us without having all the facts.

    A world waiting for Jesus Isaiah 51:1-18 and Matthew 16:1-12 An honest man is being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turns yellow, just in front of him. He does the honest thing, and stops at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light ...read more

    People With A Mission Series

    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Nov 2, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,071 views

    Jesus gives his disciples and his church one mission--to love God with all our heard, and to love our neighbor. This is a mission lived daily--that takes a lifetime to fulfill.

    Mark 12:28-34 “People with a Mission” INTRODUCTION I used to think that I was the only Kevin Ruffcorn in the United States and perhaps the world. Several years ago, to my surprise, I learned that there was another Kevin Ruffcorn in Texas. About that same time I received a copy of the ...read more

    Lessons In Apologetics #3: Experientialism & Evidentialism

    The next methodology is experientialism. Though fideism strives to make faith alone the justification for religious knowledge or belief, Geisler observes that this faith is ultimately justified in terms of an experience had by the individual (65). To the experientialist, God or the Ultimate is ...read more

    Rolling Away The Stones

    Contributed by Perry Anderson on Apr 19, 2014
     | 12,407 views

    The stone was not rolled away from the tomb to let Jesus out, but to let us in. We have many stones that block us from experiencing the resurrection power of Jesus Christ. We need to roll those stones away.

    Philippians 3:10-11 (NLT) "I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised Him from the dead. I want to suffer with Him, sharing in His death, so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!" This morning we come here to celebrate the most glorious ...read more

    Responding To Disappointments: A Star And A Stable (Epiphany)

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Jan 20, 2020
     | 3,083 views

    Difficulties are part of life, how we respond is what makes the difference. Joseph and Mary faced the difficulty of being refugees in the land of Egypt in order to save the child Jesus from Herod. The "ah ha" moment is when we realize God is with us no matter where we find ourselves.

    Stars and a Stable: Responding to Disappointments One of my closest friends loves UGA! He’s a graduate and a dedicated football loyalist. Now let’s not question his Christianity just yet.

     | 9,638 views

    From the cradle to the coffin, affliction and sorrow are the appointed lot of man. We all came into the world with a wailing cry, and we often leave with an agonizing groan. Compare these afflictions with the sufferings and sorrows of the God-Man...

    “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are ...read more
