    The Question Evil Can’t Answer

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 29, 2025
     | 94 views

    Evil remains a mystery, but the cross reveals God’s character. He enters human suffering, bears its weight, and assures us that love—not evil—has the final word.

    There are certain questions that do not arise from curiosity, but from collision. They are not born in classrooms or debates, but in moments when life presses hard against the soul and refuses to explain itself. These questions surface when loss interrupts routine, when suffering enters without ...read more

    God chose Mary of Nazareth to be the mother of His Son, the Savior of the world. He knew her not only by her actions, but also by her heart. What does God’s Word tell us about Mary?

    Imagine you had the opportunity to choose a woman who would be the mother of the Son of God. You not only knew her by her actions, but also by the intents of her heart. What kind of woman would you choose? God chose Mary of Nazareth to be the mother of His Son, the Savior of the world. What does ...read more

    Rumble in the Jungle??? Ali vs Foreman??? More than that, a Rope-a-Dope strategy in the "Spiritual ring" which is hard to beat, explaining better the dynamics of Christian life!!!

    ROPE- A -DOPE!!! First things first. More than worshipping God for the blessings, which He pours into our lives, we need to learn to worship Him, just for what He is! Worshipping Him, awed by His unique attributes is noblest form of ...read more

     | 2,076 views

    We were ransomed – that means a price was paid for us. It means we WERE held hostage. Held by the futile ways of our sinful lives. Sin had a grip on us, it took us away from the paradise God originally intended for us

    “he Was Dismissed By The Soldiers” Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Apr 6, 2015
     | 6,439 views

    People dismiss Jesus today for the same reasons the soldiers dismissed Him on that first Easter weekend.

    I wonder what Jesus thought when He looked down at His bloody feet nailed to the cross. By then His vision would have been blurred, not just from the excruciating pain, but from the blood and sweat that He was powerless to wipe away from His eyes. In that painful, lonely, and desperate moment of ...read more

    A sermon about what Christ did on the Cross.

    Mark 15:25-39 "24 Hours that Changed the World: The Crucifixion" We tend to sometimes forget that the Crucifixion was the ultimate form of torture, and it has never been equaled.

    It's Tradition Series

    Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Jul 5, 2021
     | 3,665 views

    Many of us participate in Traditions, but never ask the question, "Why do we do that?" Communion is so much more than a simple tradition. It's about remembering what Jesus did for us.

    July 03, 2021 It’s funny how traditions get started. They are important, to be sure, because they remind us of home and family and culture, but sometimes we participate in them not knowing why we do them because we have never stopped to ask, “Why do we do that?”. ...read more
