    THE PRAYER OF JESUS - Part One. John 17:1-11. In the midst of His last pre-crucifixion discourse, Jesus left the upper room with His inner band of eleven disciples, continuing to talk along the way (cf. John 14:31).

    The Tomb Is Empty

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 19, 2023
     | 1,572 views

    The empty tomb is all the evidence we need to prove the central claim of Christianity: the resurrection of Jesus.

    There’s an old joke that people tell about cemeteries when they drive by: ‘How many people are dead in that one?’ the answer, of course, is “All of them.” It’s true, isn’t it? Tombs are for people who have died. The really important ones may be called sepulchres or mausoleums. Some of them are ...read more

    Jesus And Parables Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Mar 20, 2023
     | 2,148 views

    Jesus was an excellent teacher and guru. He used all the available sources to teach the high values of the Kingdom of God. Every parable is unique and admirable to know the wisdom of God.

    Mark 4:1-21 Parables in Mark Definition of the Parable: The Catholic Encyclopedia explains, “The word parable (Hebrew mashal; Syrian mathla, Greek parabole) signifies in general a comparison, or a parallel, by which one thing is used to illustrate another (ref: Aleteia).

     | 1,218 views

    A joyous response of praise to the covenant love of the LORD.

    A SONG FOR THE UPRIGHT. Psalm 33:1-12. PSALM 33:1. We see first of all the exhortation: “Rejoice in the LORD” (cf. Philippians 4:4). Joy is a fruit of the Spirit (cf. Galatians 5:22-23). When we abide in Jesus the true vine, not only do we dwell in His love, but we also partake of His joy (cf. ...read more

    "When ‘bad Luck’ Knocks Us Down” Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 4, 2023
     | 1,837 views

    The story of Joseph being sold into slavery provides a compelling example of moments when it seems like "bad luck" has come our way when God may be up to something else.

    WHY DID THAT HAPPEN? There are moments when we feel like bad luck knocked us down. - We will get into the specifics that this passage details as we go through the sermon, but this is obviously a passage with some “just-so-happened” moments. - To use the common vernacular, someone might say, “Oh, ...read more

    The question of the poll-tax can be viewed as a question of who you are dedicated to. Are you dedicated to an earthly kingdom or the kingdom of Heaven?

    Who are you loyal to? Mark 12:13-17 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 13 Then they * sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Him in order to trap Him in a statement. 14 They came and said to Him, "Teacher, we know that You are truthful and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any, but ...read more

    Many organizations plateaued or lost momentum this year, budgets are tight. The future is unclear. Yet our desire is still to be successful ministry and fulfill God’s call on our lives. The disciples in John 15 faced a similar situation.

    Sermon: The Secret to Making a Difference During a Pandemic John 15:1-17 During this season, months in a pandemic, increasing unemployment, rampant sickness and death, and on top of that, trying to do virtual ministry, it is hard to gage my success.

    Blessing In Church Closure

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jan 20, 2020
     | 3,591 views

    Sometimes we should rejoice in the death of a church rather than mourn. After a long painful disease, we express relief when a person passes into Glory. Many churches suffer a slow and painful death. Out of that death life and renewal may come.

    Revelation 2:4  Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.  5  Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except ...read more

    Christians have been fighting the wrong battle with the wrong weapons and when they get a clue they do not empty their quiver

And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. ...read more
