     | 3,746 views

    Throughout the Gospels we find references to Jesus’ work of redemption, and often we read, “His hour had not yet come.” But now it was at hand. These words of Jesus were prayed in the shadow of the cross.

    “The Time Has Come” Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts “These things Jesus spoke; and lifting up His eyes to Heaven, He said, ‘Father, the time has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You’.” (John 17:1) “Some people pray by the yard; but ...read more

    Most people want to take care of all their earthly obligations before they die. Jesus did! based on a few sermons I read several years ago. SOME original, MOST not.

    BEHOLD YOUR MOTHER TEXT- JOHN 19:23-27 INTRODUCTION- Last Sunday at our monthly fellowship meal I sat down with David, Byron, and Ben, and I ask David if he had been busy this week. He said that he had 3 funerals, because David owns the cemetery in Troup. When he said ...read more

    Life is coded. Only those that know the secret prospers in it. God has the secret code to all mysteries in life. He can reveale this to you. How? Read this message and discover it.

    THE SECRET OF THE FATHER “The secret of the Father is with them that fear Him and to them he will show his salvation.” It seems to me everything in life is coded. This perhaps is the reason the commonest thing with people is questions. Right from the time a child is born, he seems to have come ...read more

    THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT Part 1. John 16:7-15. Of all the great stuff that the Bible teaches the Ministry of the Holy Spirit is the one that most people have a problem with. Let me say that I know that I am not an expert, but there ...read more

     | 7,085 views

    In the light of The Da Vinci Code’s accusation that what we read in the Bible is fiction, this message looks at four of the main accusations against the accuracy of the Bible and explains why the Bible can be trusted.

    - Why are we going to talking about The Da Vinci Code over the next few weeks? Well, there’s a couple of reasons: 1. Dan Brown’s book makes some serious claims about Jesus that strike at the heart of what we believe. Because of the enormous popularity of this book and the likely blockbuster ...read more

    God’s Word speaks not only of the love of God, but also of “the wrath of God” (Rom. 1:18). In Romans 11:22, we also read: “Behold then the goodness and severity of God…”

    “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness; because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them.

    As I read and meditate on this passage of Scripture, I find myself in awe of the profound truth of Jesus’ prayer. For many Christians it is hard to comprehend, much less receive. Yet, Jesus words are truth...

    John 17:20. "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; 21. "that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22. "And the glory which You gave Me I ...read more

    How does discouragement affect our lives and our walk with Jesus Christ? When we are discouraged, we are to seek God’s Will and read His Word, even more than ever.

    Prior to His arrest, Jesus traveled up and down the strip of land once ruled by David and Solomon, inviting the people of Israel to become a part of His kingdom, promising abundant life. His followers fully expected that He would become their king and that Israel would again be prosperous and ...read more

    God’s power is at work whenever the gospel is preached. If he could do the things we read about here in Luke 2, there’s nothing he can’t achieve.

    You may have heard this story before. A chauffeur had been driving a chemistry professor to dozens of speaking engagements. He’d heard the same speech time and time again. Finally he said to the professor as they were driving to the next engagement, "Professor, I reckon I could give your speech ...read more
