    This sermon explores the lessons of faith, trust, and surrender we can learn from Jesus' moment of divine desertion on the cross.

    Good morning, beloved. I am so glad to see each one of you here today. There is something uniquely beautiful about the gathering of God's people in unity and love, and it's a privilege to be part of this congregation. We are here, not by accident, but by divine appointment. You see, God has a ...read more

    The one who had opened blind eyes, made the lame to walk again, and the deaf to hear. The one who could raise the dead-was dead Himself! They placed Him in a tomb, sealed the door, and placed guards at the door. At that moment the devil rejoiced; he thoug

    To the Jewish people, the Greatest men of the Old Testament were Moses, David, and Elijah, and they expected the Messiah to be like all three of these men in some ways. Jesus proved Himself greater than them all.

    The Authority Thing: Choice or Coercion? (Mark 1:21-34) Intro 1. Every quarter in our bulletins we have an insert from Voice of the Martyrs. 2. Today’s insert is about Li Dexian.

    Would You Too Reject Him?

    based on 44 ratings
     | 6,521 views

    In the parable of the vineyard and the "rejected cornerstone of Christ", we see how an ever near and patient God reveals himself in Creation and redemption -- working through the Holy Spirit to keep us from rejecting him.

    It would seem the vineyard image is appropriate for this time of year. I’ve read that the Napa Valley is expecting a great crush this year. In Amador County, here in California, there is weekend tasting and festivities in honor of the harvest vintage. Maybe some of our people are there right ...read more

    Because of his devotion to God, Nehemiah could keep himself from doing wrong. We should improve our devotion to God so we too can overcome sin in our life.

    I would not do that! Neh 5:1-19 Illustration: Mikey the guy we love to hate. He is always cheerful. He wakes up every morning deciding to be happy. When he had his accident he decided to live. We must decide to pursue holiness. Walter Scott presented us with a five finger plan of ...read more

    The "Warning" signs that once stood in front of the Most Holy Place of God has been replaced with a "Welcome" mat now that Jesus has come to offer Himself as a sacrifice for our sins -- Come on in!

    Come On In Hebrews 10:19-25 Security is a huge topic of conversation today. Security has always been a concern for any society. Armies have protected the interests of their nation. Surveillance cameras have protected the interest of business owners. Security systems have protected the inhabitants ...read more

    Would you recognize Jesus if he came to visit you? How would he make himself known? Perhaps he would be known to you as he became known to the men on the road to Emmaus.

    Known To Them – LK 24: 13 - 35 Intro: Laureen had corresponded with Gauthier since they became high school pen pals. A continent and an ocean had separated them.

    In this passage Jesus lays out the principles of discipleship, when He says, “If anyone would come after me" he must deny himself, take up his cross and follow me.

    The God You Can Trust

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 29, 2004

     | 5,883 views

    Jesus has one overriding concern in life - our welfare. He had compassion on us, sacrificing himself for our benefit. We take comfort in a God whom we can fully trust.

    To the early Christians, this particular event in the life of Jesus is an important one. It is the only miracle of Jesus that is reported in all 4 Gospels. Apparently there is something significant here that the 4 authors want us to see. After a particularly intense period of ministry, Jesus had ...read more

    Where is He born King of the Jews? Where was God in the slaughter of the innocents? God was in a caring Father and Mother who fled to Egypt to protect the precious life of the child. God was in this Christ reconciling the world to himself.

    Celebrating Epiphany Isaiah 60__ 1 – 6 Isaiah 60: 1 – 6, Ephesians 3: 1 – 12 and Matthew 2: 1 – 12. The Christian’s calendar is always out of sync with the secular calendar.

    When Isaiah received a fresh glimpse of God, it changed his whole outlook on life, as well as himself. This message challenges Christians and churches alike to take a fresh look at God in all His holiness.

    AN ENCOUNTER WITH THE ENTHRONED ALMIGHTY Text: Isa.6: 1 Intro: For many years now, Isaiah chapter six has been one of my favorite passages of scripture.
