    Which Jesus?

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Mar 28, 2013
     | 4,535 views

    The burial of Christ confronts us with the clear reality of his death and resurrection. The burial of Christ ensures that we accept the historicity of his death and resurrection.

    The gospel is summarized in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4. The Apostle Paul writes, “For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,” (1 ...read more

    The resurrection of Jesus changed Peter (and the other disciples). Peter went from denying his relationship with Jesus to bold proclamation of it.

    1. Peter Principle Years ago, Laurence J. Peter visited several corporations and studied some of their management characteristics. As a result, he came up with a maxim he called "The Peter Principle." The Peter Principle roughly said this: A person is hired by a company and does a good job and he ...read more

    Knock-Off Parenting

    Contributed by Brian Tome on May 1, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,525 views

    The goal of parenting is maturity. For the knock-off version, the goal is happiness. God’s goal is spiritual maturity.

    As a consumer, I say, “how can I make my life most bearable” NOT “how can I build into my kids.” The reason why I was a stickler for getting kids to bed wasn’t necessarily building into them but making my life bearable. The goal of parenting is maturity. For the ...read more

    This message illuminates what it took for Joseph and what it takes for us to live in a righteous manner.

    Now Joseph was taken down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there. 2 The Lord was with Joseph, and he became a successful man; he was in the house of his Egyptian master. 3 His master saw ...read more

    The rich young man in this text could not be satisfied until he had it all. He realized that his accumulated "stuff" was not enough, and he wanted more...that is, until he realized that there was nothing he needed to do to get it.

    Matthew 19:16-30 When Ambition Meets Grace How much are you willing to give up now, in order to have it all later? Before you answer the question, be sure you think about what had to endure to get what you have. This has been a lifelong journey over which good friendships and meaningful ...read more

    Job's self-assured friends were all wrong in their assessment. Job was right. In fact, he was living in the center of God’s will. God says so, and orders Job’s friends to offer a sacrifice to atone for their judgmental attitudes, topping that by tellin

    I recall a fight I had in seminary. I was arguing with another student over some theological matter, when he got mad and slugged me. Before I knew what was happening, I left the room, but not under my own power. A student walking by saw what was going on, grabbed me, and whisked me out before ...read more

    A sermon about how much it cost Jesus to be in a redemptive relationship with us and how we should pay the same costs to be in quality relationships with others.

    Each year PNC Wealth Management calculates the cost of buying all 364 items repeated in the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” The financial services company tracks the items - including gold rings (up big), swans (more expensive than you think) and maids a-milking (at minimum wage) ...read more

    1 Corinthians 13:1-13 “What Gives Life Meaning?: These 3 Remain” I like the way Eugene Peterson has written this in The Message: “[Right Now] we don’t see things clearly. We’re squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather ...read more

    Scripture For the past few months we have been studying the life of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke. This evening I would like to reflect on a previous text we looked at only very briefly.

    The Cry Of Victory Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,933 views

    Christ's cry, It Is Finished, was not a cry of despair but of glorious victory. Christ's sacrifice was stainless, perfect, complete. Also, Satan and the powers of evil received a death blow from which they never will recover.

    The Cry of Victory In John 19:30 we read, “When Jesus had received the drink he called out with a loud voice, it is finished!” In the original Greek language of the New Testament this phrase, it is finished, is one word of 10 ...read more

    There are Two Extremes in the consideration of who Jesus is... One extreme in this debate is a radical skepticism. Ever since the publication of the writings of H. S.
