    based on 24 ratings
     | 10,470 views

    If Jesus had refused to suffer the shame and reproach of the Cross, and if the Crucifixion had never taken place, then our sins could not be forgiven … remitted. As a matter of fact, there wouldn’t be a gospel, for the gospel stands on the foundation of t

    The Crucifixion, The Foundation Of Our Faith John 19:1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. 2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, 3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews: and they smote him with their hands. 4 Pilate ...read more

     | 13,605 views

    The prophecies in the Old Testament regarding who the Messiah would be are numerous and quite specific. As we look at these prophecies we can see that Jesus fulfills them all and that He is the Messiah!

    Jesus is the Messiah Isaiah 53:1 - 12 Psalm 22 Intro Slide Happy Easter! I know it is only Saturday evening here, but in Israel, it is already Sunday morning (about 2am), so I think it is appropriate to say, “He is Risen!” I am so glad that you have joined us to worship the Lord and ...read more

    When Paul testifies before Festus and Agrippa he not only shares his testimony he shows the flaw being judgmental and the difference between religion and relationship.

    A man was having difficulty communicating with his wife and concluded that she was becoming hard of hearing. So he decided to conduct a test without her knowing about it. One evening he sat in a chair on the far side of the room. Her back was to him and she could not see him. Very quietly he ...read more

     | 8,733 views

    Don’t waste your life in secret, cheap acts designed to get the praise of people. Instead, give it all away in exposed, expensive, extravagant acts of devotion to our Lord, because that is what real worship is all about.

    Did you ever have trouble staying awake at church? Mr. Bean did. Take a look (show Mr. Bean Falling Asleep at Church; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6B1V1PFsyho).

    As we come to the last part of Matthew 26, we will see that those intent on trying Jesus were filled with prejudice because their minds were made up before they heard all the facts.

    I get a kick out of hearing things that have actually been said in courtrooms. Q: Mrs. Jones, is your appearance this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney?

    Third is a five week series. I trust this series will help us gain a new appreciation for who Jesus Christ is and what He did for us.

    The Passion of Christ Philippians 2:8 “And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.” Christ’s passion was to complete the work of obedience to the Father and love toward us.

    What’s your favourite thing about Easter? Is it the candy? Colouring eggs? Getting a new outfit to wear for the occasion?
