A sermon dealing with what it means to say "Jesus is...healer."

Jesus is…Healer Luke 5: 17 – 26 Of all the names/titles given to Jesus, i.e., Lord, Savior etc., this name “Healer” is perhaps the most challenging for us in the 21st century.

Unless The Father Draws Him

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 9, 2017

It is a sound Biblical principle that no on can come to the Jesus unless the Father draws him. How does the Father do that?

Please open your Bibles to John 6:41-51 which we will read in a few minutes.

Christ—the Light Of The World Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 8, 2017

“I am the light of the world” is the highest claim that He has made so far in the Gospel of John. One of the definitions of God is that He is light (see 1 John 1:5). He is absolute in His holiness and in His justice.

Jerusalem Lesson: Christ—The Light of the World John 8:12-20 Jesus had a method that He often followed. After an incident or a miracle, He gives a discourse on that subject. (John 8:12) Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk ...read more
