The Last Supper

Contributed by Keith Manry on Feb 28, 2007

This is part I in the series - 24. It is a first person narrative account from the owner of the upper room. The Preaching Idea: Give Christ the place of honor in your life.

They were 24 hours that would forever change the world. No war or time of peace, no government or nation, no army or ruler has or ever will impact the course of human history in the profound manner in which that one day did. From sundown to sundown it was by far the worst and best day the world has ...read more

Proof

Meanwhile...

Contributed by Monty Newton on Nov 19, 2012

Meanwhile, as we live in between what was and what will be, we live good and peaceful lives.

Despite the increasingly chaotic global landscape and a growing sense of doom and even an impending apocalypse… I suspect relatively few are associating an apocalypse with the Second Coming of Christ.

He Rejoices Over Me Series

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

Valentine's Day: If we know Jesus, God loves us so greatly and is filled with such joy, that He rejoices over us! In this message we come to know the Lord’s extravagant love, as we look at our God who sings and dances over us.

I could only believe in a God who dances.”(1) Our view of God determines our relationship with Him. Many individuals see the Lord as someone ...read more

So Close And Yet So Far Away

Contributed by Mike Cleveland on May 26, 2008

The invalid man by the pool of Bethesda was so close to the healing waters, but yet so far away from being healed. The Jews who heard Jesus were so close to Him, so far away from genuine faith. Many go to church, and are so close to eternal life, but so f
