    Was God Angry At Jesus? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021
     | 1,886 views

    The New Testament writers were constantly going back to Isaiah 53. Isaiah 53 really was the basis for their understanding of what happened on the cross. I wonder did the resurrected Jesus preach from Isaiah 53 to the two disciples on the Emmaus Road?

    There is a fear of God that is healthy and blesses our lives. There is also a fear toward God that drives us away from him. Which do you have?

    This week we finished Deuteronomy and began Joshua. Here is the transition of leadership from Moses to Joshua and leaving the wilderness to entering the promised land of Canaan. Moses’ life ends on Mount Nebo and God himself buries Moses somewhere in Moab on the wilderness side of the Jordan. ...read more

    Cs Lewis Style Observations About Reality

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Dec 28, 2021
     | 881 views

    If I may make a CS Lewis'esc observation about humanity: No one is really old. Every person ever born was always intended to be forever young, and has a soul which feels a natural inclination to always exist, thus aging and death is a profound surprise to us.

    The Last Supper Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 22, 2005
    based on 16 ratings
     | 12,876 views

    In this study we see the worst of humanity in the betrayal of Jesus - and the best in the selfless gift of Mary. Learn also how Jesus is the Passover Lamb.

    Today in the first 25 verses of Mark 14 we see some of the worst of humanity: plotting murder, subterfuge, lying, greed, and betrayal. But we also see the relationship between God and man redefined in a way that is beautiful and moving - and symbolism become reality as Jesus decrees a new ...read more

    Contributed by Steve Wilson on Jun 6, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,925 views

    This is the third sermon in a series about Jesus being The Great Nevertheless. He keeps wonderfully surprising us. Using the Lord’s "nevertheless" statement in the KJV we get a delightful glimpse of our awesome Savior.

    THE NEVERTHELESS OF HIS SURRENDERING Matthew 26:36-46 “Oh My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.” (verse 39) Introduction • Peggy Haymes wrote the following poem entitled Good Friday Gossip He never did things ...read more

    Clearing the room spiritually is all about accepting God’s forgivess through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

    Not too long ago, Lisa had a great idea about how to decorate our bedroom. Our bedroom walls are tan, but she wanted to create something called an “accent wall”. She wanted me to put navy blue vertical stripes that got larger in size in the middle on the accent wall. Now, this wall is the one seen ...read more

    This is a study of the gospel of Mark regarding the life of Jesus. It is based on my personal study and research of Scripture and many books and sermons I have read over the years.

    GOSPEL OF MARK: GOD'S SERVANT IN ACTION GREATNESS COMES FROM SERVING A. Mark 10:43b-45- “…whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give ...read more

    It Never Crossed His Mind Again

    Contributed by Russell (Rusty) Pruitt on Jul 15, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,238 views

    Although Jesus was and is fully God, He was and is fully man. He can feel what we feel because, as the Word says, He was “…in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin” (Heb. 4:15). We are going to look at how His faith was tested, but He did not sin – not even one time.

    IT NEVER CROSSED HIS MIND AGAIN TEXT: HEBREWS 12:1-3 INTRODUCTION: We are told to “consider” Jesus, Who “endured the cross” and despised “the shame.” He endured the shame because of, “the joy that was set before Him.” He is the beginner and finisher of our faith. He walked the way of faith first ...read more

    What Jesus really wants for Christmas is servants who will serve each other and those outside the church.

    1. Jesus wants disciples who will serve each other. John 13:1-5 ¶ It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love. 2 The evening ...read more

    Idols

    Contributed by Je Layugan on Oct 17, 2023
     | 2,027 views

    Everyone is a fan of something or someone, but we must exercise caution and be mindful of the dangers of idolatry. Because a simple admiration or desire can turn into idolatry. Idolatry is often a good thing that becomes a god thing. That will eventually create a barrier between us and God.

    To become a fan is generally fine. “Everyone is a fan of something or someone, but we must exercise caution and be mindful of the dangers of idolatry. Because a simple admiration or desire can turn into idolatry. Idolatry is often a good thing that becomes a "god thing". That will ...read more

    We can all identify with the disciples on the night of the Last Supper. Just what are we capable of as disciples? Thank God for his Great Mercy!

    Shall We Betray Him Again? By Pastor Jim May The final hours of Jesus’ ministry on earth were coming to a close.
