     | 9,589 views

    We look at the Uncomfortable Truth about Easter. Then we look at the “many convincing proofs” that Jesus gave us that He is alive, from the cross and then the tomb.

    TOMB FOR SALE: USED ONLY 3 DAYS Mt. 28:1-3; Lk. 24:36-47 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A woman and her over-bearing husband went on vacation to Jerusalem.

    We are not all at the same level of spiritual maturity, and we do not all walk the exact same path with Jesus; therefore, let us not get disagreeable over opinions.

    Joy Versus Happiness

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 12, 2015
     | 6,740 views

    The world relentlessly pursues self-statisfying happiness with utter disregard for the Joy of the Lord. Even those who authored the declaration of independence thought that the "pursuit of happiness" was a God given right. So ... what does the Bible say?

    Let’s take a look at a couple of Scriptures … Ecclesiastes 12:8 (NASB) “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher, “all is vanity!” Ecclesiastes 12:8 (HCSB) “Absolute futility,” says the Teacher. “Everything is futile.” Ecclesiastes ...read more

     | 6,857 views

    Mary was a nobody. She knew she was unworthy of such a blessing. And she was right. It’s a problem to elevate her too highly. The point of the Gospel is that God only uses people who understand that they are not worthy and without God they are nothing
