    Race To The Tomb

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 31, 2010
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,206 views

    All of us are running in this world. Some are running to God, some trying to run away from Him. How far will they go? We should be running in a spiritual way. All our focus needs to be on the tomb where Jesus rose to new life and will take us with him to

    Opening illustration: I think of Eric Liddell. The movie Chariots of Fire depicts how his sister Jenny tried to persuade Eric to give up his running, and go to China with her to be a missionary. He said, "No, God has made me fast and called me to run." It would have been wrong at that point to be a ...read more

    Paul urged the Corinthian church to preserve their unity in Christ at all costs. We learn from him to work quickly through conflict, appreciate our differences, and know what unites us.

    1 Corinthians 1:10-18 Preserving the Union If you ever find a perfect church, join it, and it will no longer be perfect! And if you ever feel bad about the state of your church or the state of the church in America today, just read the Bible book of 1 Corinthians! These folks had lots of problems, ...read more

    An Easter sermon which describes the glory that Christ received after his death and resurrection. This sermon has profound theology as well as practical application. I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

    Introduction Recently, the music veteran from Tamil Nadu (in South India), Ilaiyaraaja stated that he doesn’t believe in the resurrection of Christ. In one of his recent speeches, he claimed that he watched a few documentaries on YouTube which supposedly prove that Jesus didn’t resurrect from the ...read more

    At the moment Jesus died the curtain in the temple was torn in two - God has left the building.

    Message Matthew 27:51 Torn By Unseen Hands There is something about curtains that just makes us want to know what is behind them, isn’t there. Curtains have the ability to make us very curious. Example: Visit to a Heritage Home and they always seem to have one or two areas sectioned off. So ...read more

    The Identification Of Worship Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 27, 2019
     | 11,685 views

    As Jesus talked with the woman at the well, He revealed much regarding worship. Through their conversation we discover there are two distinct types of worship - Religious worship and Righteous worship. All worship will fall into one of these categories.

    The Identification of Worship John 4: 19-24 This is a portion of a very familiar passage of Scripture. I’m sure that most of us have heard the account of the woman at the well many times. She was a woman who was shunned and rejected by those who knew her. She was an outcast of society due to the ...read more

    Face Cloth Neatly Folded

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on Jun 28, 2021
     | 4,399 views

    The neat folding of the face cloth gives further evidence to me that Jesus calmly and deliberately unwrapped Himself of His grave clothes and walked out of the tomb.

    I would like to see a show of hands, who makes their bed every day? I figured there would be someone who does it. You are the kind of person who should really appreciate what Jesus did in the tomb after His resurrection. I know this isn’t Easter Sunday, but I wanted to share with you something I ...read more

    A sermon about the power of the Holy Spirit.

    “What is Power?” Luke 4:14-21 When you hear the word “power” what comes to mind? Do you think of influence or wealth, such as a person who strides down the “corridors of power”?

    Easter is not about us. Easter is not about our new Easter clothes. Easter is about hope. Easter is knowing that death on this earth is not the end of life. Your soul, your spirit, was created by God to live forever. Includes a quote from Mel Gibson's Pasion of the Christ.
