    based on 31 ratings
     | 6,420 views

    This message looks at Mary Magdalene’s biggest scene in the Bible - not as Jesus’ wife, but as the first person to meet the risen Savior.

    The Da Vinci Code’s Claim: “Mary Magdalene’s most important role was being married to Jesus.” - As we noted last week, Dan Brown claims in his book that Mary Magdalene is of monumental importance because she was married to Jesus. (We also noted that Brown claims that she had a child with Jesus ...read more

    “You Reap What You Sojourn” by Matthew Everhard. Originally preached on Sunday Morning, July 4th, 2004 at Hudson Presbyterian Church. Words 2205 Their primary concern was membership. Specifically, that membership was on the rise. Well, either that or member PLEDGES-- those were equally important. ...read more

    As Tillich said, to have faith in Jesus is to be "ultimately concerned" about Jesus.

    In this message we look at 5 snapshots/pictures of the church. These snapshots help the listener see the NT church as it is intended to be.

    “The High Cost of Discipleship” Luke 14:25-35 I think that one of the most deceptive things we see in our world today are ads that tell us one thing but when we look closer there is a lot they are not telling us. Ads for cars are notorious for this. You’ve seen them. They advertise a car at one ...read more

    Originally preached for Mother’s Day - encouraging to "bring something forth" in their life. God’s purpose is definitely worth it - just ask your mother!

    My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you… Gal 4:19 (NKJV) Today is Mother’s Day – a day that we set aside to give honor to our mothers. Of course, this is the command of the Bible for every day of the year – most of us probably don’t do it enough. Our ...read more

    Licking The Lips

    Contributed by Jimmy Chapman on Jan 26, 2008
    based on 8 ratings
     | 8,107 views

    Now I believe that there are four bona-fide instances of lip-licking instances found in the Scriptures.

    LICKING THE LIPS The Bible has much to say about the lips. Proverbs 10:19 “In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.” The more a man talks, the more mistakes he will make Wisdom is manifest in what we don’t say, rather than in what we say.. ...read more

    A Pharisee and a tax-collector bump into eachother at the temple. This looks like a sitcom! ...

    “Jesus told them another joke”, we are told, “and He told this one to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and looked down on others.’ Now, I suspect that your translation probably says ‘parable’ rather than ‘joke’, but I think ‘joke’ is actually a very good translation.

    By following Jesus to the tomb we learn that it’s okay to shed some (1) tears over life’s loses, but that our tears must eventually give way to the (2) truth.
