    “he Was Tortured By The Romans” Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Apr 20, 2015
     | 5,460 views

    The Romans tortured Jesus out of ignorance. But is that a justifiable excuse?

    It’s interesting to contrast how the suffering of Jesus is portrayed. There are depictions that are rated PG. There’s hardly any blood; and Jesus looks more annoyed than in pain. There’s a heavenly glow around His head, as He gazes into heaven. Then there are depictions that more ...read more

    If the building up of the church were a sport, here’s where I would tell you, “its hard to put any points on the scoreboard from the sidelines,” Contrary to popular belief, “Serving the Lord” is not a spectator sport.

    We Can Make a Difference? “Yes We Can!” There’s no quicker way to find out who your friends are, then by starting a building project and asking them to be involved and help you with it. It doesn’t really matter what your building, it could be a house, a garage, or something on a smaller ...read more

    Anyone who has watched "Seinfield" on TV has probably heard the catch phrase "No soup for you." But Jesus tells a parable about a group of people who hear that catch phrase all to clear.

    Excuses. We all have them. We make excuses for our actions. We make excuses for our lack of actions. We make excuses for our words. Basically we are good at making excuses. The Metropolitan Insurance Company has published a list of the excuses they were given for auto accidents (1) “An ...read more
