The Greatness Of Christ Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 9, 2008

Do you long for Christ’s return? John was given a glimpse of the glorious Christ. Seeing Christ through Revelation helps us to appreciate Him more and see our lives in the light of the hope we have in Him.

[I’ve taken some of the thoughts in this sermon from Anne Graham Lotz’s The Vision of His Glory.] The second coming of Christ does not always conjure up the same emotions. • If you are to narrow down your emotions regarding the return of Christ to one word, what would that be? • Discomfort, Fear, ...read more

[Sermon preached on 1 April 2018, Easter Sunday / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] “Were you there when they crucified our Lord?” It is a rhetorical question.

The Contemporary Christ Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

If Jesus was still in the tomb, and not a living contemporary, then however, great a man and teacher He was, He is of no more value to us than any other dead man. Any religion will do if the best only gets you to the grave.
