    Guilty, But Set Free

     | 13,870 views

    In spite of where you may have been in life or how you may have lived, because of what Christ did on the cross, you can now live a life of victory because you have been set free.

    Our prayer is that for those of you who don’t yet have a relationship with Jesus Christ, that before you leave this place today, you may be compelled to put your trust in Him and accept Him as your Lord and Savior. But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not ...read more

    Onlookers And The Onlooked Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Apr 10, 2017
     | 3,556 views

    The abundance of religious art we see may remind us of the cross, but it can also dull us to the reality that the people involved were real people, not figments of creativity. Let’s take a look at some of those real people.

    PURSUING THE MARK Philippians 3:4-14 The starter’s line for this passage is the Apostle Paul’s polemic against false teachers, whose confidence lies in the flesh (Philippians 3:2-4). “The flesh” here represents self-help religion, which stands contrary to the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. ...read more

    Knocked Down, But Never Knocked Out

    When we face a theological crisis because it seems like God has turned against us, we need to back up & look at the Cross and know that it guarantees the love of God & that God's will is to bless & save us. Keep believing!

    KNOCKED DOWN, BUT NEVER KNOCKED OUT Rom. 8:31-39 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. I’m sure most of us have some kind of plans for the 4th of July. Many have gone camping, to the beach, and plan to watch some fireworks. 2. Sheila Settler is a school bus driver and likes to chat with the children ...read more

    Easter. The Resurrection of Jesus divides the believer from the non believer. The physical resurrection of Jesus shatters the grip of the fear of death. (Heb. 2:14) One can not separate the facts of the cross from the empty tomb. "The Theography" Sweet

    In Jesus Holy Name March 27, 2016 Easter Sunday Redeemer Text: Matthew 28:1,5-6 “Our Enemy – Death- Defeated” He is risen! He is risen indeed! Easter is the ultimate test of faith. The one great watershed that ultimately divides believers ...read more

    "The Miracle That Still Changes Lives" Series

    The disciples found themselves in an extraordinary situation. The One whom they had followed for 3.5 years; had sat at His feet and learned all of the great teachings firsthand, had now been crucified on a cross and buried in a borrowed tomb.

    “The Miracle that Still Changes Lives” Luke 24:1-12 1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. ...read more

    Part 10 - Matthew 8:18-34 - When Jesus Skips Out On Church, You Know Someth Series

    It's interesting to me that Jesus called His disciples to leave the crowd and His disciples and they experience some spiritual warfare as they cross to the other side of the lake. Why would Jesus miss this opportunity, when He had a crowd gathered?

    Part 10 - Matthew 8:18-34 - WHEN JESUS SKIPS OUT ON CHURCH, YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG! I remember as a young student Pastor being invited to a Church for afternoon tea. They said they wanted to pray for me. What I didn't realise is that they wanted to pray for me to be their Pastor. At the end ...read more

    John’s Question

    Contributed by Dan Finch on Dec 25, 2010
     | 10,227 views

    Everybody wants to be a winner and be on the winning team. John the baptizer was afraid that he was mistaken about Jesus because he saw him headed toward a cross. We are still a lot like John. Following Jesus is often not about winning.

    It’s hard to be sure when you are in pain It’s easy to be confident when things are going well – when you are young, strong – LeBron James for instance, went on TV and had a whole show just to say that he was going to the Miami Heat. Look at me, look how confident I am. This is going to be great. ...read more

    On The Threshold Of The Supernatural

     | 8,099 views

    We can get close to a miracle and never experience it.We have to press-in in prayer to Jesus and get so close that we cross over the threshold of the miraculous. Jonathan did that in his battle with the Philistines. Read on.

    ON THE THRESHOLD OF THE SUPERNATURAL 1 Sam. 14:6-15,23 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: BOUDREAUX DUMPING TRASH 1. Boudreaux pulled over on the side of the highway and was dumping his trash beside the road. 2. A policeman spotted him, turned around, got out and walked up to him. “Boudreaux, what ...read more

    Jesus rebuked Peter because Peter did not understand God's plan.... Jerusalem, the cross and empty grave would mean forgiveness and eternal life. We all make mistakes... quotes by Barbara Bush, John Stott

    All We Like Sheep Series

     | 4,163 views

    We, as Christians, can go astray like sheep. Sin keeps zapping us like an electric fence, but we eventually become numb to it and cross over to enter the dangers of the world. The Shepherd will then react. So, how will He react?

    To begin this evening’s message, I would like to share a verse from the Old Testament. Isaiah 53:6 says, “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” All of us have gone astray from God at some point in our ...read more

    What Must I Do To Inherit Eternal Life? Series

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Feb 28, 2020
     | 4,208 views

    This month we are going to look at a series of questions that are asked in the texts as we make our way to the cross. In each of these questions is an element of faith - and a reality-check about our individual faith that should cause us to question, think, and decide.

    The “I” Test: What Must I Do To Inherit Eternal Life? Mark 10:17-27 Introduction This month we are going to look at a series of questions that are asked in the texts as we make our way to the cross.

    When we find ourselves in the depths of despair, we have the gift of Jesus … the very embodiment of God’s “hesed” … God’s steadfast love … and we have the cross to remind us of the greatest Christmas gift of all, amen?

    Advent is a time of tension. There is the joy and anticipation of the season and the stress and strain of trying to prepare for it, amen? But the season itself represents an historical and theological tension as well and I am going to use songs from the Jewish song book and songs from our own ...read more

     | 8,015 views

    As Jesus hung on the cross, between two condemned malefactors, He spoke words of grace to one who was repentant. In His dying moments, our Lord revealed the grace He came to secure for all who look to Him by faith.

    Today shalt Thou be with Me in Paradise Luke 23: 39-43 Last week we began our study of the seven sayings of Jesus upon the cross with the first of those, a prayer of forgiveness offered to God the Father. This morning we have come to the second of those gracious and powerful sayings, with a ...read more

    To the world that nailed Him to a cross, He will return as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He came once as a Lamb, but He will return as a Lion. Once as a Savior, He will come again as the Judge who will sit on His throne to judge the nations.

    Goats to the Left of Me and Sheep to the Right Matthew 25:31-46 Matthew chapters 24 and 25, otherwise known as the Olivet Discourse, contain the most detailed description of events that are to occur in the future among the Lord’s recorded teachings.

    Joshua 5: Time To Take Care Of Some Things Series

    Joshua chapter 5 reflects a couple of items Israel hadn't done in nearly 40 years. Israel had crossed the Jordan River, ready to claim their Promised Land, but they had to take care of a couple of items first.

    Introduction: Israel had crossed over the Jordan River and now they were camping in Canaan, the Promised Land! God had kept every promise He had made to Israel. Israel, though, had not kept every promise they had made to God. One of those promises was to circumcise (definition omitted here but ...read more
