    In life we have three big appointments.

    We all realize the need for making appointments in life. Appointments are as much a part of our lives as breathing itself is. There are two kinds of appointments. Some of these appointments are VOLUNTARY APPOINTMENTS and some of them are INVOLUNTARY APPOINTMENTS. But whether they are VOLUNTARY or ...read more

    Rev. John Stott in his book: “The Cross of Christ” writes: “We can not proclaim the cross without the resurrection nor the resurrection without the cross.” Either Jesus actually rose from the grave or he did not. (quotes from He Chose Nails).

    Ed was 96 years old when he passed. He spent most of his life as a faithful Christian preparing for eternity.

    John 13:33-36 33 Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer.

    Bob's Legacy

     | 6,717 views

    Don't just be religious. Make your life a spiritual quest.

    Bob’s house was well built, by which I mean that his life was well-grounded. That’s what the Bible means – at least, most times – when it talks about building houses. We saw in Proverbs where it says, “By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is ...read more

    We need to yield productively to the grief process, taking care of ourselves as we do it (from Therese Rando in her book, “How To Go On Living When Someone You Love Dies", pgs. 252-256)

    HoHum: Here’s a story from a telemarketer: “The other day I called a house and a real nice lady answered the phone, she was really helpful and friendly, she was the type of lady that helps a telemarketer get through a long day.

    "Jesus, The Replacement For The Temple”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Mar 3, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,490 views

    John places this historical moment in the life of Jesus not during Holy Week, as in Matthew, Mark and Luke. Why? Jesus is proclaiming that He is God’s touchstone on earth, no longer the stone altar of sacrifice. Jesus is replacing the “holy of holies”. He is replacing the Jerusalem temple.

    In Jesus Holy Name Lent III March 7, 2021 Text: John 2:19-20 Redeemer “Jesus, The Replacement for the Temple” Sometimes we need to read the words of the Bible more closely than we do. I noticed something new as I was ...read more

    Many people are afraid to die, but Paul said he strongly desired to depart, because he knew it was far better, and would be a gain for him. Relationship with Christ and faith in the Word of God should give us confidence to face death. To die is Gain!

    TO DIE IS GAIN INTRODUCTION A.

    We all have emotions as did Jesus, Mary and Martha.

    Text: Now Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died” (John 11:21). When that verse is isolated one gets the feeling that Martha is casting blame on Jesus because His absence brought about the death of her brother Lazarus. You can almost feel the emotion of ...read more
