    Followers of Christ need to make shre we are ready for His return.

    On Tuesday of the last week of our Lord’s life, as He and His disciples were leaving the temple, one of them said, “Look Teacher! What massive stones !

    In the midst of a rapidly changing culture, with struggles unlike we've faced in the past, how do we overcome and remain vibrant in ministry? Paul answers these vital questions within the text. Those who overcome and remain passionate for the Lord must make necessary preparations.

    Preparing for Perseverance 2 Corinthians 4: 16-18 As we close out another year and stand on the verge of the New Year, no doubt this has been a memorable year for each of us. We have all faced difficulties and adversity, heartache and pain; and yet these struggles were tempered with grace and ...read more

    he Lord’s prayer teaches us to stay close to Jesus: He is our life He is our security He is our mediator and Great high priest Yet we often consider prayer a chore, when it is really oxygen to our soul.

    “The Lord’s prayer” Matthew 6:9-13 Floating in the river: About 6 or 7 years olds we lived in Washington State Our family was playing in the cutout on the river, apparently the river was taller than the barrier meant to keep people in and safe.

    Let There Be Space ... Series

     | 1,700 views

    We must be careful to not let the facts of creation become overcomplicated. God's word can be trusted just as much in the creation account as it can that He has given us a redeemer (Jesus) to rescue us from sin!

    Alpha and Omega, Part 2 “Let there be space …” Genesis 1:6-8 Introduction - We’ve begun the year with “one purpose”: Knowing there is a God! -- Just as a building requires a builder, a creation must have a Creator - There is an irrational logic trying to prove something happened from ...read more

    Grace For The Despised

    Contributed by Jeff Hagan on May 27, 2017
     | 7,054 views

    True grace goes much deeper than we tend to think it does. We tend to reserve it for those who are already followers of Christ, however, Christ exercised grace, mercy, and love even to the most despised of sinners.

    Introduction: I’m sure most of you are familiar with the biblical account of a tiny little guy by the name of Zacchaeus. Well, far from just an entertaining story popular among Sunday School children, the incident with Zacchaeus gives us an incredible example of God’s grace and love. We see in ...read more

    Forgiving The Unforgivable Series

     | 19,162 views

    Jesus models forgiving the unforgivable as he prays for forgiveness from the cross. As we recognize that he is praying for us, and that we are no better off than those we need to forgive, we gain the power to draw on the Father's love to forgive others.

    Forgiving the Unforgivable Luke 23:32-37 * Seven Last Words from the Cross - Part 1 Today we begin a new seven-week series entitled, “Seven Last Words from the Cross.” If you read the crucifixion account in each of the four gospels, you find exactly seven statements or questions Jesus made in ...read more

    We see God reaching out to a foreigner and leading him to faith in Himself. This is the goodness and grace of God. It cannot be earned or be bought.

    God’s grace goes international. Let’s read 2 Kings 5:1-19. God remembers His own and cares for His own, but His own does not mean only the people of Israel. • It refers ultimately to everyone who is willing to acknowledge God, believe and worship Him, as the one and only true God. • So God’s ...read more

    Having encountered the grace of God on the Damascus Road, Paul's life and eternity were completely transformed. Knowing what had happened, and the change that had taken place in him, he was convinced of the relevance of the gospel for all men.

    The Significance of the Gospel (Part 1) 1 Thessalonians 1: 5-10 In our last study Paul greeted the Thessalonian church, encouraging them in the Lord. He reminded them of their position, revealed his prayer for them, and acknowledged their labor of love. Now his attention is turned toward the ...read more

    We all need peace. We all need hope. Without faith in God, we lack both hope and peace. Without peace, we cannot persevere.
