    Praying In Great Distress

    When Jesus was preparing for the greatest ordeal any human would ever face--the one who had never sinned to be cut off from his Heavenly Father--he went to God in great desperation. We can and should do the same when we face the inevitable trials of life.

    Matthew 26:36-46 Praying in Great Distress Jesus is our example in all things, and today he shows us how to take our anxious thoughts to God. I heard about a guy who was anxious in his driving. He was cutting off people, weaving in and out of traffic. Then he got inpatient at a yellow light, as ...read more

    I want us to reflect on Jesus’ words, “It is finished.” We’ll see that when Jesus said “It is finished,” His ‘finishing’ was just the ‘beginning’ for you and Me.

    HIS ‘IT IS FINISHED’ WAS JUST THE BEGINNING FOR ME Jn. 19:28-30 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Have you ever been “put out” or exasperated that you weren’t treated better in a situation?

    Only Jesus can make a jailhouse rock as he puts a song in Paul's heart and a spring in the jailer's step.

    In a 1957 movie, Elvis Presley made prison look like a rip roarin’ time when he sang “Jailhouse Rock.” The truth is Jesus made a jailhouse rock long before Elvis did and it was no staged production. It was a real-life event punctuated by an earthquake, a jail break, and a midnight ...read more
