     | 3,091 views

    Simon Peter made one of the greatest decisions of his life when he decided to leave everything and follow Jesus.

    Foreword: Every person who follows Jesus as Lord and Savior has at least one thing in common with every believer: he or she made a decision to follow Him. The Gospels have several incidents where someone did just that. One of my favorites took place in Luke 5, and it was in a very unusual ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 2,955 views

    Was the cross and all of its barbarism necessary or was there another way? It calls us to decide whether Jesus wa Liar, Lunatic or Lord.

    Did Jesus Have To Die? (The offense of the cross) 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 Did Jesus have to suffer and die?" To say that it was necessary causes Christians no problem at all. In fact, the story of the cross, or forgiveness of sins, of paying our ransom, or the just dying for the unjust... THE ...read more

    Fish are not checking out the potential beauty of the bottom of the boat and deciding by this measure by whom they would prefer to be caught. They are drawn in by what is on the hook?

You might find the title of this message a bit strange, so let me do my best to ...read more

    This will help you understand the way and how God has prepared for anyone who decides to be saved in order to inherit eternal life.

    If you have seen the latest Mel Gibson film—the Passion of the Christ—you would notice that the name Yashua was used instead of Jesus (Joshua, during the Great Exodus, shared the same name).
