Just As The Serpent Was Lifted Up

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Apr 20, 2014

Have you ever wondered what Jesus meant when he compared himself to the Bronze Serpent in the book of Numbers? Nicodemus probably did. This was a good Friday service.

Just as the Serpent was lifted up The first time he had met Jesus it was in the dark, and there was just him and the master. We see him at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry and then we hear him speak in defence of Jesus halfway through the story and then we don’t see him again until ...read more

Seize The Day / Strike While The Iron Is Hot

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Oct 25, 2021

There is an adage: "Strike while the iron is hot". When the time is right, you should act. You should seize the moment or you will lose your opportunity. We are called to be a witness and to bring others to Jesus. We need to strike when God gives us an opportunity.

Is There Evidence That Jesus Christ Is Alive After Death? An Examination Of The Facts

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 10, 2023

For me, it’s obvious that Jesus Christ is alive right now. Because he changed my life forever. He set me free from sins and addictions. He changed my family. My grandpa. My mom. He’s still changing lives everyday in this very city, and across the face of the Earth.

If Jesus is dead then I’m a fraud. If Jesus is dead right now, then we’re all a joke. The atheists would be right. The world would be right. All the good in the world wouldn’t really be good, all the bad wouldn’t really be bad, all our work would be for nothing, and our lives would be truly ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 25, 2024

The guilty argue with God and there is no repentance. Again God requests that Judah remembers her past devotion and return to the Lord. Idolatry is everywhere and the innocent poor are killed. There is no justice anywhere and delusion is rampant.

Man Has Twisted, Contorted, Inverted, And Opposed All God’s Creation – Part 2 - Genesis Chapter 1 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 4, 2023

We continue the study in Genesis chapter 1 to see how sinful and deluded man has overturned all that God set in place, inverting and destroying it. We especially look at evolution and God is Light. Man’s inversion of God’s order causes chaos and growing evil.
