    We wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes – This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myriad subtleties.

    Mary and the disciples discover true belief in Jesus and are sent out to proclaim his resurrection

    Last Hours Of Jesus' Life - Free From Passivity

    Contributed by Joanne Chan on May 18, 2018
     | 5,514 views

    In this sermon, we look at how the people mocked Jesus as he walked toward the hill of Golgotha, and contrast that with his encounter with Simon from Cyrene to see what it really means to carry the cross for Jesus.

    Central theme: Jesus denied himself and took the punishment for us with total dedication. We should take up the cross and follow Jesus, which means denying our old self (our comfort, your desires) and live for God because God is leading us to an even better place. Opening: Think of a place ...read more

    Today I want to look at an encounter between Jesus and a “Rich Young Ruler”. Kind of like Jesus meets Mark Zuckerberg. The rich seem to have everything yet this very, very rich young man knew he was missing something. What are you missing?

    What one thing do you lack? Mark 10:17-34 The Rich Young Ruler We are now just four weeks away from Easter Sunday 2018. Easter happens to be on April 1st, April Fool’s Day. I kind of think that God the Father enjoys the irony in that one. Satan really was a fool to think he could kill Jesus ...read more
