The Big Surprise

Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 5, 2021

This Easter message focuses on the DISRUPTION that Jesus's presence brought into the lives of the selfish priests and Pharisees at His first Advent, their response to the disruption (murdering Jesus), and the SURPRISE Jesus's resurrection was to them and even to the disciples.

Today we celebrate the greatest event in the history of mankind: the resurrection of Christ. Nothing has ever happened that influences the destiny of mankind like that one event. Alexander’s defeat of the Persians changed the course of Western civilization. It was a significant turning point in ...read more

Big Buts

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Apr 27, 2014

A short talk asking what big buts we are carrying around with us. What big buts are looming in our lives? In the midst of our statements that start with, "But I can't ..." Jesus comes and says, "Shalom. Peace be with you!"

On the evening of that first day of the week the disciples were together, with the doors locked because they were afraid. I can imagine what they may have been thinking, and I guess there were some massive ‘buts’ in the room! But it wasn’t meant to be like this. We followed him ...read more

A Big Misunderstanding Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 29, 2017

There are times when we see and yet do not actually perceive; there are times when we hear, but fail to listen. Such was the case with the disciples. They thought Jesus was speaking of physical bread, but He was conveying spiritual truth.

Jesus departed from their midst to another region near the Sea of Galilee, and is quickly met with more opposition and doubt.
