    What it would be like to see God and gaze upon His glory? Just listen to Isaiah’s experience.

    Intro What it would be like to see God and gaze upon His glory? We think it would be an awesome sight, don’t we? Oh, no doubt, it would fill us with awe--so much that fear would seize every corpuscle of our being. But it would not be awesome; it would be awe-full. Main Body Just listen to ...read more

     | 7,168 views

    Would Jesus have hired a lawyer to defend Himself? Would Jesus have put “hot button issue” bumper stickers on the back of His donkey? Would He have gotten in a heated political debate? Jesus is our Savior; who cares about rights?

    Romans 12:14-21 Matthew 5:38-42 By: Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN We’ve seen this kind of thing a million times. The headline says one word, in thick black letters right across the top of the front page: REVENGE. Someone has hurt someone else, and ...read more

    A Christian Analysis Of Atheism, Part 1

    If the Middle Ages are to stand in history books as the Age of Faith, it could be equally asserted that the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries will no doubt be remembered as the Era of Unbelief.

     | 5,220 views

    Mark wrote nothing by accident in his gospel. Just prior to the arrest of Jesus, he presents a stark contrast between those who think they have it all and those who have nothing. Which group is which? The answer may surprise you.

    As we begin this portion of Mark 12, Jesus has just finished his series of debates with the religious leaders. They’re done, but Jesus isn’t. He came to Jerusalem to first proclaim His hostile takeover—retaking for God the thing man had conformed to his own image. He proclaimed ...read more

    If our stubborness persists, God will let us go our own way of disobedience but not without consequence.

    Grace And Going Our Own Way Romans 1:24-32 I. When God Lets Us Have Our Own Way A. Children are famous for wanting their own way.

    The church is the body of Christ; but have you ever thought about what it would be like if the members of our physical bodies behaved like the members of the spiritual body sometimes do?

    Don't Settle For Facts, Discover The Truth - Mark 4:35-40; Numbers 26-14:1

    Contributed by Tunde Alli on Feb 16, 2012
    based on 6 ratings
     | 29,836 views

    Most Christians have substituted God's truth for facts. They believe facts rather than the truth of the word of God. Facts never set anyone free, truth does.

    John 8:32 'Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free'. In the first story (Mark 4:35-40), Jesus was sleeping while his disciples were worried about a raging storm; the second (Numbers 13:26-14:1) reveals the nation of Israel (save Joshua and Caleb) weeping upon discovering the ...read more

    This is the final message in a series that takes a fresh look at Psalm twenty-three. This message examines the benefits of following the Lord Our Shepherd.

    Are you a patient person? Do you find it easy to wait when you are anticipating something? If you are like me anticipation often causes my patience to be in short supply.
