    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 23, 2019
     | 8,191 views

    This message is about the disciples and their response to Jesus’ resurrection. And their response mirrors how many Christians respond to Jesus today.

    Jesus’ resurrection on that third day was 4000 years in the making. When God raised Jesus from the dead, it was the crescendo of our Heavenly Father’s plan to make it available for man to once again have His spiritual life living inside of him. That’s why Jesus not only died a spiritual death but ...read more

    The Judgment Of The Almighty Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 12, 2022
     | 2,261 views

    The Old Testament prophets predicted a day so alarming that even those who are religiously careless wake from their moral sleepiness. They frequently refer to it as “that day” when the nations are judged.

    It is widely regarded as one of the best films of all time, Shawshank Redemption was released nearly thirty years ago in 1994.

    Selling Out To God Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 20, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,427 views

    Jesus's Parable of Hidden Treasure teaches all-out commitment to the kingdom of God. Christianity is not a little add-on to our busy, selfish life. It is a call to something so valuable that we would give up everything else to have it.

    Last week we began a message entitled “Valuing the Valuable.” That teaching led us to the Parable of the Treasure in Matthew 13:44. That is our text for today. There Jesus said, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes ...read more

    The Foolishness Of Preaching

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 25, 2018
     | 8,871 views

    Some things are hard to hear within the volume of God’s word. Some things are hard to understand and comprehend. Something may even sound foolish to folks but I assure that is not the case.

    The Foolishness of Preaching 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 Message: The idea of preaching as a method to reach people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ is viewed by many in our day and time as foolishness. Strangely this was the very same attitude of the people who heard St. Paul ...read more

    The Paradoxical Sayings Of Jesus: Lose Your Life To Save It Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jul 30, 2018
     | 9,804 views

    Perhaps Jesus' most challenging saying of all is that to save your lives we must be willing to lose it for His sake and the Gospels. We explore what this really means practically, and whether Jesus meant for it to be literally true.

    The Paradoxical Sayings of Jesus Lose Your Life to Save It Mark 8:31-39 We continue in our summer series on the paradoxical sayings of Jesus. Jesus said a number of things which violate common sense, and seem to be impossible with regard to all the realities we face in this world, and would not ...read more

    ¿Cómo nos volvemos puros? ¿Cómo podemos relacionarnos con Dios? Lo descubrimos en Hebreos 9:14. Esa pureza viene por la cruz. Nada se puede comparar con el poder de Cristo para limpiar una vida.

    Dios es puro. Él es como la nieve en la cima de las montañas del Himalaya. No somos puros. Somos como el charco de barro en el camino. No puedes mezclar los dos juntos. El agua del charco de barro contaminará la nieve del Himalaya. Entonces, ¿cómo nos volvemos puros? ...read more
