    When Religion Blocks Relationship

     | 14,157 views

    We go about trying to live religious lives, but do we miss connecting with God in the process? Christianity is about relationship, not religion. And Jesus makes such a relationship possible.

    Luke 13:10-17 When Religion Blocks Relationship It was a day I will never forget. Our village had gathered at the local Synagogue to hear the word and receive teaching, to pray together, and to worship Yahweh, the one true God. On this day there was an unusual excitement in the crowd because we ...read more

    Consider each human heart has a black hole, a place of emptiness, fear and loneliness. Man tries to fill this void with materialism and pleasure. Only God!

    Jesus stands alone as a man who claimed to be alive before Abraham and He predicted He would come back from the grave.

    INTRODUCTION Today we’re going to talk about “Seven Words that Rocked the World.” We’ve all heard about the seven sayings of Jesus from the cross. But these seven words were spoken at the empty tomb of Jesus. They were spoken in a cemetery. Cemeteries can be spooky places. ...read more

    Easter, The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

     | 2,785 views

    Is Resurrection Sunday the most wonderful time of the year? Paul wrote that if Christ has not been raised our preaching is in vain and so is our faith (1 Corinthians 15:14). Let’s discuss the centrality of the resurrection of Jesus and the testimony of eyewitnesses in Luke 24:1-12

    Is Christmas the most wonderful time of the year? What about Jesus’ resurrection? Is Resurrection Sunday the most wonderful time of the year?

    Peter And Easter

    Contributed by James Hickman on Mar 19, 2016
     | 7,456 views

    How did Peter greet the first Easter? His failure before the crucifixion may have kept him from fully appreciating what Easter meant. Using the clues given in the gospels and elsewhere, the sermon discusses how Jesus dealt with Peter's failure and fear.

    Peter and Easter Luke 24:12 Though the women told and retold the story of their experience at the empty tomb, the Eleven and the other disciples didn't believe them. It was just too incredible. Yet, Peter seems to have decided something must have happened at the tomb and determined to find out ...read more

    How Gideon Formed His Attack On The Enemy Camp Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 10, 2019
     | 4,615 views

    Gideon’s battle plan appears to have been carefully worked out, but whether it was beholden to his spiritual illumination we cannot say. But what we can say is that his methods were a type of psychological warfare.

    Chapter 25 How Gideon Formed His Attack on the Enemy Camp [Judges 7.16-7.20] Scripture 16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. 17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do ...read more

     | 6,538 views

    Many will ask us as Christians certain questions about our God and His Son Jesus Christ. It is important that we are prepared. This sermon should assist the congregation in answering some of the most important ones.

    I. Why Did Jesus have to die? Answer: In order that He die as a man, He had to be born and live as one. He came to earth as a man but was God incarnated (Immanuel—God as man). He came to save us, literally from ourselves and this filthy world in which we live. He came to teach us, not only by ...read more

     | 1,268 views

    God still works in the society. He is the almighty God. He turns curses into blessings. He turned disaster into a prosperity and he turns the emptiness into full. He is powerful, intervenes on daily basis.

    Text: Nehemiah 13:1-22 Theme: “God Turns and Returns”   Greetings: The Lord is good and His love endures forever. This is one of the saddest chapters in the Bible, for it relates Israel’s prompt rebellion against God’s law. The sudden and almost unbelievable totality of the people’s rejection ...read more

    There's a heart that fits this day perfectly, a day where we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, or what the world calls “Easter.” There is a hope for our world, and that hope is Jesus Christ who rose from the dead and is alive.
