    based on 138 ratings
     | 7,819 views

    The Jewish Passover that Jesus observed with His disciples was very different from our observance of the Lord’s Supper today. Jesus became our Cup of Redemption through His crucifixion on our behalf.

    The Cup of Redemption Luke 22:7-22 Sunday marked the day that all of God’s people began to lose sight of everything other than the preparations for the most important day of the year. There was much to do. People had come from everywhere to celebrate Passover in the Holy City of Jerusalem. The ...read more

    based on 57 ratings
     | 11,420 views

    Few people make a conscious decision to reject God. Most people just never get around to making a commitment and drift right by the safe harbor of Heaven.

    “Are You Paying Attention?” Hebrews 2:1-4 Moms and dads are accustomed to dishing out advice. To try and guide a son or daughter through the narrow straights of life is part of the responsibility of a parent. Some guidance, if not heeded, will cost, but the price is not too severe. “Brush your ...read more

    A positive stewardship message.

    It is amazing to realize just how much our lives are impacted by the amount of money we have or think we have. It has a great impact on our self-esteem, on the kind of job we pursue, and how important we view ourselves in relation to others. For example, three boys in the school yard were ...read more

    In this part we will examine the purpose of our creation, satan’s deception and the process of temptation. We can clearly observe that nothing has changed since the beginning. Will we learn from history or relive it?

    Part II. Why did God create us? Why does it matter whether God used evolution or creation to form man? There are two major reasons this is a foundational issue. We are created in the image of God. Because we are the reflection of God, we have been created for the purpose of glorifying God. Unlike ...read more

    There’s a lot we can learn about forgiveness by following the example Jesus set for us when He restored Peter.

    Shalom, it’s Peter again. I talked with many of you last Sunday when I told you about an amazing fishing trip.

    “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” The Cross is the only place we can find forgiveness. It doesn’t matter what we’ve done, or how often we’ve done it, we can be forgiven - not because we deserve it, but because we don’t.

    Forgiving the Unforgivable The last words of a dying person are normally never forgotten. A person’s closing comments often reveal their pain and agony. Some enter eternity without saying anything, while others utter sentiments that disclose their values, priorities, and innermost ...read more
