    "The Proof Of The Resurrection” Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Apr 5, 2010
     | 6,578 views

    Why is the resurrection important and how do we know it is true?

    A Christians, we make much of the cross, as well we should. For apart from the cross, and the sacrifice of Christ for our sakes, we would be eternally condemned to pay the penalty for our sin, and would have no hope of salvation whatsoever. However, apart from the resurrection of Jesus, the cross ...read more

    Easter 2 b. The eye-witness testimony of the Apostles is evidence of the reality of Christ's Resurrection. We live confidently that the promise of the resurrection to come is sure, even as the fact of His resurrection is sure.

    John 20:19-31 Easter 2 (B) J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. Alleluia. He is risen. He is risen indeed. Alleluia. “Proof Positive” Julie Andrews as Maria in The Sound of ...read more

    Life Without God

    While the people of the world live without God every day, what would it be like for a Christian to live without God? Solomon gives us the answer from the book of Ecclesiastes.

    I was blessed to grow up in a Christian home. I can’t imagine what life would be like without God. But there was a man in history who chose to live his life without God. He was the wisest man who ever lived, yet he did the most foolish thing in the world. Solomon. What would life be like without ...read more

    Rev. John Stott in his book: “The Cross of Christ” writes: “We can not proclaim the cross without the resurrection nor the resurrection without the cross.” Either Jesus actually rose from the grave or he did not. (quotes from He Chose Nails).

    A Rebuke To Forgiveness-Only Salvation

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Sep 30, 2025
     | 133 views

    This is a challenging passage. Surely Paul doesn't mean that we have to actually live like that?! What it all points us to is a false gospel that is too often preached today - "forgiveness-only" belief. What does this passage tell us about what real salvation looks like?

    A COMMON BELIEF TODAY: I am “saved” and unchanged. - Matthew 7:15-20; Matthew 7:24-27; Luke 13:6-9; John 15:8. - This passage makes us uncomfortable. It sounds harsh and unrealistic. We will delve into how we are to understand it as we move forward. - A good place to start is a major reason why ...read more

    Joy In The Desert

    During the Christmas season, we find ourselves in a deficit of joy. Isaiah describes finding joy in the desert . . . perhaps we are seeking joy in the wrong places.

    How many of you are just absolutely overflowing with joy right now? Let’s be honest with each other, OK? Is there even one person here who can truthfully say, I’m so overflowing with joy I can hardly contain myself? Just one? Would you like to know how to get that kind of joy in your life? ...read more

    The general belief is that if we can find that "special someone" we can cure our loneliness. Genesis 2 tells us why that isn’t true.

    OPEN: Being as this is the Valentine Weekend I wanted to share a few quotes by children about love: - Glenn, age 7 - If falling love is anything like learning how to spell, I don’t want to do it.

    Jesus staked His entire reputation on the Resurrection. If it didn’t happen, everything that Jesus said and did is open to question. Easter is not about a crime against an innocent man, it is about a claim -- a claim so spectacular and so crucial that it

    James teaches that biblical faith is not expressed in words only or just in one’s mind, but that it must be expressed in the actual doing and obeying what God and Christ command us to do.

    INTRODUCTION 1. Open your bibles to James 2:18-26. 2. In our last lesson we discussed two different kinds of faith, from James 2:14-17. We discussed a faith that is not profitable and a faith that is dead. As a contrast to those two faiths, we also discussed a “living faith”. 3. In the ...read more
