    Behold The Man (1) Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Oct 8, 2015
     | 5,671 views

    This sermon is a focus on Jesus as Pilate and others saw him -- a failure. The irony is, his "defeat" was actually his key to victory.

    1. Jesus, a Wanted Man "If Jesus had of entered into one of our modern cities, leading a parade, as the "triumphal entry into Jerusalem, He would have been arrested immediately. He would be a wanted man." * The FDA would want Him for turning water into wine without a license; * The EPA for killing ...read more

    The grave is no longer a place of defeat for the believer. In Christ, death has lost its sting and the grave has lost its victory.

    Life is a battlefield, and without God's help, we face defeat, humiliation, and abandonment. With divine assistance, we can overcome these challenges.

    In this world, we are engaged in a constant battle. Without the assistance of God, we are bound to face defeat, humiliation, and shame. People will forget about us, and others will abandon us. Let us consider the story of Joseph in Genesis 40:9-14. Joseph sought help from a man, but that man forgot ...read more

    Dealing With The Devil

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Apr 1, 2012
     | 9,140 views

    God's word shows us that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. Satan is our enemy. We know him only too well. Who we need desparately to know is Jesus, so that we can deal with the devil and have victory over him and his lies.

There is a need to know our enemy, as Heath Smith reminded me, and it is clear from scripture as Jesus tells us, "We need to be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves." (Matt. 10:16) Paul ...read more
