     | 5,664 views

    Since we need to talk about the Passion film with our friends, we have to be prepared to answer their questions. It’s a mystery to non-believers: Why did Christ have to suffer so? Why did He have to die?

    Sarcastic reviews. Late night jokes. Hateful criticism. Promises to ban him from work in Hollywood. Mel Gibson has faced all that and more over the last year. All because of the making of The Passion of the Christ. Why all the controversy? The brutality? R-rated slasher movies come out ...read more

    Isn’t it time that we come down, humble ourselves before Jesus, and accept his offer to become our house guest like Zaccheus did?

    THE HOUSE GUEST Luke 19:1-10 There was a man in the city of Jericho that must have been a lonely man. He wasn’t popular at all, in fact most of those who knew him, and nearly everyone in the city did, would have nothing to do with him.

    Recent polls report that 1 in 5 American "born again" Christians believe in reincarnation. Most alarming is the fact that the number is climbing. This study examines the erroneous claims that reincarnation is biblical.
