     | 15,287 views

    Who is Jesus to you? Is He just a moral teacher? Is He just a storybook character? Throughout John chapter 5, Jesus claimed to be God. And in today’s passage, He brings four witnesses to the stand to corroborate His testimony.

    How many of you have ever served on a jury before? I haven’t. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but never have been able to. I’ve been summoned before—several times.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,838 views

    When going into a new situation, it’s always good to be prepared for what’s going to happen ahead of time. In this passage, we see how people typically respond to the gospel in one-on-one evangelism.

    Pastor Jim’s blog: http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com As you know, we’ve been in this passage for three weeks now. There’s a reason for that. The reason is that I think this is one of the best passages on personal evangelism in the whole Bible. The Bible is filled with personal evangelism ...read more

    John begins chapter two by addressing his readers as "my little children." "My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin."

    Review The Gnostics said they had no sin, blaming their sinful acts on their body. John was setting the record straight for his readers by presenting both bad news and good news. The bad news is that we do sin. The good news is that if we confess our sin God is faithful and righteous to ...read more

    It has gotten to the point that the terms “terrorism” and “Islam” may be viewed as synonymous because of the actions of al Qaeda. Are they interpreting the Qur'an correctly?

    I wanted to speak to you today about "The Need for Walls" If you think about everywhere, you go whether it be home, work, church, to a store, or even the vehicle you came here in this morning they are all enclosed by some form of walls for shelter and protection.

    In ancient times walls were built almost exclusively for defense. As in the case of the Great Wall of China. Which is known as one of the seven wonders of the world. The Great Wall was built over a period of 2,300 years! It is the longest man-made structure in the history of the world and has a ...read more
