    Beware Of Hypocrisy Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 25, 2025
     | 189 views

    In His encounter with Pharisees and Scribes, Jesus discusses the characteristics of hypocrisy. To His disciples He notes the promises of hypocrisy with a stern warning. And yet, in the gospel, we find great hope for hypocrites.

    It seems like nearly every month (maybe even more frequently if we look hard enough), we receive news about some Christian leader who fails morally, gets caught, and is removed from ministry. Whether it’s pastors, professors, performers, or politicians - failure happens. We see hypocrisy ...read more

    Arise, My Child! Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jul 13, 2014
     | 5,836 views

    For Christians, death is merely a passage to life by faith in Christ only! When Jesus encounters people who need Him two things happen: 1) He willingly goes to where they are and, 2) they do whatever it takes to come to Him. We should live the same way!

    Arise, My Child! Mark 5:21-43 Introduction - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” - Last week we ...read more

    Grace and restoration are at the heart of our relationship with God. In this deeply personal encounter, we see the power of Christ’s love to restore and commission us, even when we’ve faltered. But how does this restoration speak to us today?

    Introduction: Grace and restoration are at the heart of our relationship with God. Today’s scripture takes us to the shores of the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus appears to His disciples after His resurrection. In this deeply personal encounter, we see the power of Christ’s love to restore and ...read more

    When I was in elementary school, we didn’t have Upward basketball. The only league we had was the Westerville Parks and Rec. And for me the Westerville parks and rec league presented a problem.

    Victory In Jesus Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016
     | 13,939 views

    Far too many believers live defeated lives. The Lord is never pleased when we surrender to our difficulties and admit defeat. Granted we can't overcome within our own ability, but with the help of the Lord, we can live victoriously.

    Victory in Jesus 1 John 2: 1-6 As I studied this passage, I was reminded of the relationship John enjoyed with Christ. He was part of the inner circle, one of three that were closest to Jesus. I am convinced Jesus didn’t love those three more than the others, but they were privileged to ...read more
