    If you want to follow along today, we are going to be looking at two verses. It is out of the gospel of Mark 1:14-15. We have been going through this series on the theme of discipleship. If you were here last week, you know that we have defined discipleship as ordinary people learning to live ...read more

    In Romans 6:1–5, Paul shows three results that should be evident in a believers life because of the death of Christ. We see: 1) The Antagonist (v.1), 2) The Answer (v.2), and 3) The Argument explaining and defending that Answer (vv.3–5).

    Today we remember the sacrificial death of Christ. Yet, for Christians, there is a new reality that goes beyond mere remembrance. In Romans 6:1–5, Paul shows three results that should be evident in a believers life because of the death of Christ. We see: 1) The Antagonist (v.1), 2) The Answer ...read more

    The belief that human beings have an eternal spirit and that it will return to a place in the afterlife known as Heaven or Hell are from Judeo-Christian teachings found in the Bible.

    "Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living." (Genesis 2:7 NIV) The word “breathed” (Heb: ‘ruwach”) means wind or spirit. "By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you ...read more

    There are two pieces, at least two parts of the human experience that every human will partake of: being born, and dying. That's right. The death rate for humans is 100%. I don't think people like to be reminded of that. It's a shocking thing to consider in fact.

    As we look at Jesus, it’s important to realize that his death was no accident. The cross did not happen to Him – He came on purpose for it. His death resulted in our acquittal and gave us open access to the Father. Just as people have responded differen

    Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God. But we can take courage from the examples of Jesus and St. Paul.

    Even in the face of death believers in Jesus Christ can experience God’s presence, know God’s power to fulfill God’s purpose, and rest in God’s promises.

    FACING DEATH 2 Timothy 4:17-18 Who said, living for Jesus is easy? The fact is, it may cost you your very life. Paul was in prison for preaching the gospel of Christ.

    This sermon is about how we do not need to fear death. We can gain hope from Christ because he is eternal, and he has promised that we will be made to overcome death as he has. It still needs a little work, but i am a fan of the main idea of it.

    How did the Cross get to be the central theme of Christianity?

    The Death of Christ The cross: it is the central theme to Christianity. We identify ourselves, our Lord, our God by particularly cruel form of execution. Yet we display the cross with pride.
