    You only live 3 times. No such thing as YOLO, since Jesus has risen.

    John 20:19-31 HOPE FOR THE HOPELESS - the resurrection 19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 20 After he said this, he showed them his ...read more

    “He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead’” Luke 16:31.

    Theme: Going home Text: Luke 16:19-31; Rev. 21:1-5 Our theme for today’s sermon is ‘going home’. A popular saying is that “a man’s home is his castle”, implying that the best place to be is home. This has led many people to have the wrong idea that their home ...read more

    Lent 2013 Week 3 Series

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 6, 2013
     | 6,223 views

    God, in His gracious mercy, gives us warnings of the need for repentance. In this case He does it through His Son, Jesus, using two accounts of untimely death and applying them to the reality of eternity which we all face.

    This is the third week of the Lenten season and in the Scripture we are about to look at we see how Jesus responded when He was confronted with the news of some untimely deaths. Some died at the hands of an evil man and others died because of a construction accident. Now, you may have noticed on ...read more

    Sardis: Confessions Of A Dying Church Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Apr 8, 2013
     | 7,455 views

    This is the sixth message in this series that looks at the letters to the seven churches in the book of Revelation. This message examines the letter to the church at Sardis and how they were spiritually dead and didn't know it.

    As depressing as it might be the opening passage of this letter sounds more like an obituary. The body of believers in Sardis is dead….well almost. Only faint life signs of a faithful remnant remain. For the majority there it was too late, their faith had already flat lined. What begins ...read more

    If God is good, and He created everything, and the original creation was very good, then why is there death and suffering in the world?

    ORIGINS #2: THE FALL (November 2010 – Beausejour Church – Pastor Chris Jordan) → REVIEW: “In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth.” (Genesis 1:1). • Last week we looked at the differences between creation and evolution, and talked about how it is more likely we are here by ...read more

    The power of the resurrection was applied early to Lazarus, though Jesus was deeply moved to see the predicament that man had fallen into since creation.

    In 1846, former president John Quincy Adams had a stroke. Upon his return to Congress the following year, it was apparent that his health was failing. When asked about his health Adams replied, “I inhabit a weak, frail, decayed tenement battered by the winds and broken in upon by the storms, and ...read more

    WE TEND TO LOOK AT CANCER – AS THIS HUGE, INSURMOUNTABLE MONSTER (AND IN SOME WAYS…) THAT’S VERY TRUE!

    I’D LIKE TO START OFF THIS SERVICE BY FIRST ACKNOWLEDGING THAT: A LOSS, IS THE DISAPPEARANCE OF SOMETHING CHERISHED! BEREAVEMENT, IS THE STATE OF BEING DEPRIVED OF SOMETHING! GRIEF, IS THE NORMAL RESPONSE TO A LOSS! AND THEN OF COURSE MOURNING – REFERS TO THE OUTWARD EXPRESSION OF GRIEF! NOW, ...read more

    Jesus died we need to have no doubt about that. Without Jesus’ death we would have no resurrection. Without the resurrection, we would have a worthless faith.

    INTRODUCTION • SLIDE #1 • One of my favorite innovations is the DVR. I LOVE the DVR because even when I am watching “live TV”, if there is something I want to see again or if I missed what someone said, I can rewind the program a little bit in order to see what I missed. • I catch myself rewinding ...read more
