    With a modern twist, a Muslim Reporter travels to Jerusalem to Interview Jesus before His death and meets people touched by Jesus ministry on the way.

    John was in prison and needed to know if Jesus was really the person promised by God as the Messiah. I’m sure that he knew Jesus as hi cousin, but I wonder if he knew him as the Messiah.

     | 9,298 views

    Who is Jesus to you? A miracle worker, or the Lord of your life? We have got to be able to answer that before we can fully understand the mission He was on because having faith in Christ is more than a catch-phrase, but a life altering decision.

    Cleansing the Temple John 2:12-25 Introduction - The gospel of John screams of the faith that we should have in Christ -- It is the clearest example of living life FOR the one who redeemed you and I - If we can learn to love others like Jesus’ … we can bring them TO Him -- Re: We ...read more

     | 2,804 views

    Sometimes we need to stop and reevaluate our thoughts on spiritual things. Many times, I get the wrong idea of what God is trying to do in my life.

    Sometimes we need to stop and reevaluate our thoughts on spiritual things. Many times, I get the wrong idea of what God is trying to do in my life. Sometimes we listen to others and let them tell us what God is trying to do and they know less about it than we do. We should always trust God and know ...read more

     | 4,038 views

    John the Baptist's message of repentance is just as controversial today as it was in in his day. It was a message that caused people to think and evaluate what they were doing and why. It does the same today? Ready for some controversy?

    Throughout history there have been many controversial characters: kings and queens, presidents and politicians, artists, actors and song writers, scientists and CEOs. What is it that made them so controversial? By what they did or said, they made people uncomfortable, forcing people to have to ...read more

    If God puts unexpected obstacles in your path to ministry, how should you handle it?

    When I graduated from seminary, I had no idea when or where I would be called into ministry. Many of my classmates were luckier. They knew where they were going. They had received a call. I, on the other hand, would not even be eligible to receive a call for at least one year, perhaps two or more. ...read more

    I love bumper-sticker theology. And one of my favorites is, “Life is hard try reading the instructions.” Those of you who have assembled toys or furniture may have discovered this principle the hard way. I’ve neglected to count the parts. I’ve put things together upside down and backwards. When I ...read more

    Imprisoned and facing death, the aged warrior for Christ, the apostle Paul, presents his final instructions and counsel to the young pastor from Ephesus, his "son in the faith", Timothy.
