     | 4,857 views

    The fundamental question we must ask when we read our Bibles or watch "The Passion" is this: Who is this guy Jesus? This sermon explores his claims and the evidence that he is who he said he is. *HANDOUT INCLUDED*

    #3: True or False: Jesus Is the Son of God? “I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM. . .” John 8:58 One of the fundamental questions we have to face when we read our Bibles, and when we watch the Passion, and when we decide whether it’s all true or false is this: IS JESUS REALLY THE SON OF ...read more

    Is forgiveness of sins the greatest need of a paralyzed man? Yes! It’s our greatest need too, and the greatest need of others we know. Since only God can forgive sins against him, Jesus claimed the authority of God.

    ONLY GOD CAN FORGIVE SINS—Mark 1:1-12 ***It was a Sunday morning, and light was just beginning to dawn. I got up and went to the bathroom, and promptly fainted. When I came around, I panicked, because I felt a tingling in my arm, a marker for a stroke. My wife called 911, and after a couple of ...read more

    Today many religions claim to be authentic belief systems, SO which is right. Recently we have witnessed the influence of Christianity being eroded from our society. In the name of tolerance, Christians told to yield to other beliefs. At the heart of t

    God Demands Exclusive Worship

    I don’t know where you are in your relationship with Jesus this morning, but, God demands exclusive worship. A person can say they are a Christian and even claim to worship Jesus but only a genuine follower understands the sacrifice, to be in over their

    In our Scripture today, Jesus is talking about being born again and the necessity of the Holy Spirit in your life. Paul was passing through Ephesus and he met these people who claimed to be believers. Well, the test to being a believer according to Jesus

    Most of us as Christians are so comfortable counting on our long year of salvation and probably service in the house of God yet the Almighty God whom we claim to be serving is so disappointed in our relationship with Him. Grow your relationship with Him.

    There is a reason for you to be perfect, and that is because I am the Almighty, the God who is perfect in all things. However, you cannot become perfect by any other means except by growing your relationship with Me. Those were the words of God to Abraham in Genesis 17:1, fifteen years after he ...read more

    The Flesh Is Willing

     | 3,752 views

    Wait… the title of this story is “The Flesh is Willing”, yet this scripture claims it is weak… and it was Jesus who actually said it… so, that must be right! See… the flesh is very willing to do things, to get involved, to perform or get into action… to a fault.

    Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

    It was prophesied that Jesus would be born in Bethlehem which means the House of Bread. Then He goes on to claim to be the Bread of Life. Micah 5:2 also reveals that the One to come is from eternity past! What an awesome God we serve! PTL!!

    Last week we took a look at the 2nd chapter of Daniel and saw that: - the “stone cut out from the mountain without human hands” was a prophecy about the virgin birth of Jesus - the “kingdom that will never be destroyed or conquered, that will crush all these kingdoms into ...read more

    We can talk about Jesus, claim to know and love him, and say that we are serving him, but are our actions proving it to be true. The next generation will learn from what we do more than from what we say.

    Actions speak louder than words The people served the LORD throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had seen all the great things the LORD had done for Israel.

    I believe that today there are so many people who claim the name of Christianity who are so accustomed to the coldness of their faith, they have become relaxed in it. This morning, I want us to examine the effects of staying too long in “Cold Christianity.”

    What Do I Get Out Of It???

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 5, 2017
     | 4,729 views

    The phrase "What do I get out of it" seems to embody the reason for church attendance for many people who claim Christianity as their faith today. Is the body of Christ, the church, supposed to be a vehicle to make me happy for my own sake?

    Please open your Bibles to Romans 12:3-8 which we will read in a few minutes. Why on earth would anyone want to join a church? You don’t need to officially join a church to be saved and joining a church doesn’t save you. So, what’s the big deal? With that in mind let’s go ahead and read: Romans ...read more
