    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 23, 2019
     | 8,192 views

    This message is about the disciples and their response to Jesus’ resurrection. And their response mirrors how many Christians respond to Jesus today.

    Jesus’ resurrection on that third day was 4000 years in the making. When God raised Jesus from the dead, it was the crescendo of our Heavenly Father’s plan to make it available for man to once again have His spiritual life living inside of him. That’s why Jesus not only died a spiritual death but ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 9,779 views

    Matthew is highly regarded these days by Christians because of how powerful his gospel is. But he wasn't always loved. He had a label "tax collector" that made him hated. Why would Jesus a man like him to be a disciple?

    OPEN: Back in 2002, a newspaper in Massachusetts had this classified ad: “Unknown item for sale. We know it’s valuable; we just don’t know what it is. If you can identify it, we’ll sell it for $250.” (Reader’s Digest 9/02 p. 145) The Bible is a collection of stories where God knew why people ...read more

Isaac, his father, had died; he was at peace with his brother Esau; and it seemed all would be going well for him in his twilight years. But several things were ...read more

     | 7,945 views

    Today we’re going to look at the danger of sleeping spiritually. Romans 13:12 gives us two reasons: “The night is far spent, the day is at hand.” We are told that this is no time to sleep. It is high time to awake.

    “Shall Your Brothers Go To War While You Sit Here?” In other words, will other Christians pay the price while we are secret disciples? Will others witness while we keep silent? Will others work in the church while we just obtain the benefits?
