    The Lordship Of The Risen Christ

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 27, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,341 views

    A key accomplishment of the empty tomb is so Jesus might be “the Lord of both the dead and the living.” Lordship implies ownership or the right to exercise authority over another. When we come to Jesus, we're under new management.

    “Christ died and returned to life so that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.” A few months ago I was summoned to serve jury duty for a serious murder case. Because of my former work with law enforcement and corrections, I wasn't selected, but I followed the case, ...read more

    Jesus has come to give his life as a ransom for many (10:45). Man needs to be saved from himself, from his deceitful heart, his bent to do evil.

    Introduction What is worse – to be told that you will fail or to watch your failure played out just as it was told? And what is more difficult for the condemned prisoner – waiting for the hours to tick by or the moment of execution finally arriving? Not very good choices either way, ...read more

    The Absence Of God

     | 13,517 views

    January 1985: The psalmist experiences the absence of God, even to the point of denigrating himself as a "worm." But when he takes inventory, he does see evidence of God's presence, opens up his heart, and dares to hope.

    Today I am going to take a somewhat different approach to the reading of the Scripture and the way I will be preaching on it. And in fact I hope this will make it come alive for you and will enable you to follow the thought of the Scripture writer as well as my own thought. What I plan to do today ...read more

     | 4,045 views

    Most of us owe our own conversion to friends and family who prayed us into The Kingdom. Prayer is the big weapon for the salvation of souls. Not arguing, debating ---seeking to see the lost saved is empty, dry, and fruitless without FERVENT prayer! Don’t

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,285 views

    Using guilt to get people to give money to the Lord’s work is wrong, but it is a temptation because 37% of regular church attenders give nothing to the church, 33% of them engage in at least some form of gambling.
