    Hope In The Lord Series

    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

    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

    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

    Onlookers And The Onlooked Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Apr 10, 2017
     | 3,698 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

    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

    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

    Because our enemy of death has been defeated by Jesus who died on the cross to pay the penalty for sin. He died the just for the unjust to bring us back to God. He rose again that as Christians we to share in the resurrection.

    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

    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.

    Seven hundred years before Bethlehem. Seven centuries before a manger, a cross, and an empty tomb. God was already preaching the Gospel. The book of Isaiah is not merely ancient poetry or distant prophecy—it is a Spirit-breathed portrait of Jesus Christ.

    Jesus, who has set the example for us, has finished the race and is at the right hand of the Father. We need to follow his example and that of the other heroes of the faith. These examples encourage us to finish the race.

     | 2,744 views

    Do you want to enjoy intimacy with God and operate in His authority? In Zechariah 3 we are given two keys for that to happen. Additionally, it is only possible through Messiah Jesus seen here as Servant, the Branch, and the Chief Cornerstone.

    Today we return to our study of Zechariah. Zechariah, along with a faithful remnant, have returned from Babylonian captivity to Jerusalem. They are rebuilding the temple along with Ezra and restoring worship of the Lord in their homeland. For 70 years the nation has been living in Babylon as ...read more

    Isaac carried the wood; Jesus carried the wood; and in both cases, Father and Son walked on together.

    Before we turn to the passage of our study today, I feel we must first look at a couple of other verses of scripture. Turn with me to the book of Genesis, chapter 22, verse 6 and let’s read. “AND ABRAHAM TOOK THE WOOD OF THE BURNT OFFERING AND LAID IT ON ISAAC HIS SON, AND HE TOOK IN HIS HAND THE ...read more

    Sons Or Slaves? (Trinity Sunday 2024)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on May 23, 2024
     | 941 views

    Did you notice what Paul did in this text? Paul speaks about the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit as he reminds that if we are God’s children, then we are also heirs---joint heirs because we are adopted sons and daughters of God through what Jesus did for us on the cross.

    SONS OR SLAVES? Text: Romans 8:14 – 17 Rom 8:12-17 So then, brothers and sisters, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— (13) for if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

     | 3,301 views

    The Lord Jesus Christ had been sentenced to death by crucifixion. Once He died, most people believed that everything died along with Him. But it wasn't--three days later, He arose from Joseph's tomb, ALIVE!

    Introduction: The Lord Jesus Christ had been betrayed and arrested in the garden of Gethsemane, as all four Gospel writers describe in their works. What happened next is an attempt to get rid of Jesus by any means necessary in the minds of the religious leaders. It’s a sad commentary that ...read more
