    One of the biggest questions I’ve heard people asking about Mel Gibson’s movie is: "Wow. . . did that really happen?" A reviewer in TIME mag put it this way: "The first thing you have to decide is. . . is it based on fact or fiction?" *HANDOUT INCLUDED*

    WAS IT REALLY LIKE THAT? How many of you here today have seen The Passion of the Christ? How many of you left there with questions? <HANDS> This series, I’m taking some of the most common questions I’ve heard, and giving them an honest look.

    Arise, My Child! Series

     | 5,851 views

    For Christians, death is merely a passage to life by faith in Christ only! When Jesus encounters people who need Him two things happen: 1) He willingly goes to where they are and, 2) they do whatever it takes to come to Him. We should live the same way!

    Arise, My Child! Mark 5:21-43 Introduction - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” - Last week we ...read more

    Dabar: The Living Power Of God’s Word 1 Peter 1:24-25 Series

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Oct 31, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,975 views

    The Hebrew word dabar reminds us that God’s Word is not static or limited. Dabar goes beyond mere sound or symbol; it represents a living, dynamic, and creative power that brings about change and reality. Dabar is spoken, and things happen - creation occurs, life unfolds, promises are fulfilled.

    Dabar: The Living Power of God’s Word 1 Peter 1:24-25 (Understanding Dabar: The Power and Purpose of God's Word in the Hebrew Bible) 1 Peter 1:24-25 (NLT): “As the Scriptures say, ‘People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers, and the flower fades. But ...read more

    He had waited 38 years for something to happen. Then he met Jesus, and he was instantly healed!

    Text: John 5:2-15 KJV: 2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep (market) a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel went down at a ...read more

    God will use your past history, good, bad and even what you see as irrelevant to further the Gospel in your life today.

    The Apostle Paul has been accused of not being the real thing. Paul is being accused of not being authentic, he is accused of being a slick salesman rather than a true disciple. Is Paul reliable? Is Paul authentic? Are his writings to be taken seriously? Can we trust Paul and his understanding of ...read more

    Romans 1 shows that bad people need Jesus. But Romans 2 shows that the so-called good people need Jesus, too.

    You’re the Man! (And So Am I) Romans 2:1-16 Good morning! Please open your Bibles to Romans 2. I know! You kind of feel like we are starting a brand new series, after five weeks in Romans 1. But actually, we are still in the first section of our outline of Romans. If you remember a few weeks ago, ...read more

    Word Or Wonders? Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,603 views

    Why are you believing Jesus? Are you believing Him only for the miraculous things He is able to do for you? That’s why the Galileans welcomed Him and He marveled at their unbelief.

    This morning we have reached a transition text. These three verses mark a transition from the wonderful revival that just happened in Samaria… to the time when Jesus went back home to Galilee. In one way, you can think of what has happened in chapter four up to this point as a stopover. Remember ...read more

    And there is something bad about living with someone who is perfect, who never makes a mistake, it wears on you, and your relationship and your life.

    I want to tell you a story that might help you or someone you know, who may be in the same situation. There was a lady one time who wanted to get married, she had been dreaming about, thinking about, planning for it, she could wait for that day to arrive. Well, one day she had went to a social ...read more

    If you think Hell is so bad, why aren’t you doing everything you can to keep people from going there?

    MISSION: ONE SINNER Luke 15:4-10 4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep (he made an investment in 100 sheep, and let me say here that God made an investment in all humanity), if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he ...read more

    If we want to see revival we have to do what God requires of us to see it happen.

    Revival Fire Fall Text: Jonah 3:1-10 Introduction 1. Illustration: A.W. Tozer wrote, "Revivals come only to those who want them badly enough. The problem is not to persuade God to fill us, but to want God sufficiently to permit him to do so. The average Christian is so cold and so contented with ...read more

    When is being good not good enough? How would you define being Good? (Not being as bad as the person next to you?)

    Listen: http://www.wayneamydutoit.com/Wayne/is-good-good-enough/ {Desire – to change, motivating factors / consequences / benefits} I have heard people say that that are “good” people. That if there is a God and He is a God of love that He would not throw them into hell, because ...read more

    Mary was not a sinless saint. She was a meddling mom. But did that make her a bad mother? Or did it make her a better witness for Christ?

    based on 36 ratings
     | 12,545 views

    There is no faithfulness steadfast love or knowledge of God. This is the fault of poor teaching by the priests and bad leadership by the nations secular leaders. It results in false religion and false hope.

    The prophecy of Hosea begins with a dramatic enactment by Hosea of the relationship between God and his people Israel. It’s a shocking revelation of the unfaithfulness of a people who should have known better, who had had every opportunity to get their act together and to worship God faithfully but ...read more

    Habakkuk asked God why bad people succeed while good people do not. God's answer, they don't.

    The Punishing Rod Part One Habakkuk 1:1-11 When Habakkuk was disturbed, he brought his interests straightforwardly to God. In the wake of accepting God's responses, he then reacted with a supplication of faith. Habakkuk's model is one that ought to support us as we battle to move from ...read more
