    Jesus' healing of a man on the Sabbath teaches us several truths about Jesus.

    Scripture During the last few months of Jesus’ life, opposition to him grew. Herod wanted to kill Jesus (Luke 13:13), and the scribes and Pharisees were “lying in wait for him, to catch him in something he might say” (Luke 11:54) or do. In their desire to get rid of Jesus, the ...read more

    How Does God Know All Things? Series

    Contributed by Keith Foskey on May 25, 2014
     | 3,978 views

    Orthodox Christians have always held that God has absolute and exhaustive knowledge of everything, including the future. But how is He certain about the future?

    Sometimes, there are statements made in the Bible which are very meaningful, yet easy to overlook. I believe that this passage in the Sermon on the Mount is one such statement. Jesus is telling us something about the nature of God in this passage which is so sublime that it should cause our ...read more

    Lives are at stake, both our neighbors and our own. In regard to our neighbors, we are either living as light before them and hopefully exposing for them their darkness, or we are keeping our light hidden and allowing them to wander in the darkness unawar

    The Lost Queen

     | 4,535 views

    When you lose your Queen piece in chess, you are likely going to lose the game as well unless you are strategically prepared. The church has relied for centuries on its queen, the Sunday/Sabbath day Big Event. But what if pandemic or persecution takes away your queen? How will you then do church?

    THE LOST QUEEN “A lost queen can cost you the game” Hebrews 12:26-28 “At that time His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth, but heaven as well.” I’m not Jerry Lee Lewis and it is not 1999, but I can tell you that a whole lot of shaking is ...read more

    based on 18 ratings
     | 4,434 views

    The story of Jesus betrayal, arrest, and trial could be seen as a dark time, but it teaches us things about faith, suffering, and finding the will of God in our lives like no other portion of Scripture.

    I hate politics. Politics at its worst is the manipulation of people and processes to get your way. I’m sure there’s a good side to politics – but I haven’t seen it lately. Certainly it was politics at its worst that was operating in Palestine around 33AD when the ruling religious political group ...read more

    This is my fourth sermon in the series and looks at how we are to be productive as we act as God's kingdom here.

    It seems strange to mix the sacred with the everyday, to describe the eternal with the ordinary, the infinite with the finite. And yet that is exactly what Jesus did when looking for a way to illustrate the Kingdom of Heaven, a treasure in a field, a merchant looking for a pearl the tiniest of ...read more

    This is the last in a series on the "I ams" from the book of John. This message looks at what it means to us that Jesus is the "Gate"

    I am the Gate I am. That’s what Jesus said. “I am.” Since June we have been looking at the various times that Jesus used the phrase “I am” to metaphorically describe himself. “I am the Way”, “I am the truth”, “I am the ...read more

    We can't study death or observe it or try it out to see how it feels. No, from our earthly perspective we can't possibly understand all we want to about death. Jesus had a lot to say about this enemy we all face.
