What Jesus’ Grief Over Jerusalem Reveals Series

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 30, 2023

The reasons for grief are many, such as the loss of a loved one, the loss of health, or the letting go of a long-held dream. Dealing with a significant loss can be one of the most difficult times in a person's life. Jesus sees God’s dream for Jerusalem slipping away.

The Sprinkled Blood

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 5, 2023

THE SPRINKLED BLOOD Heb. 12:18-25 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. One of my pet-peeves is Christians with Christian bumper stickers driving discourteously or dangerously – it’s a bad testimony. 2.

To See What You Can See. Series

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on May 1, 2023

To see for me is the most important sense of the five senses. The physical realm without the spiritual is meaningless. We need a revelation of who Christ is. We need our spiritual eyes to be opened by the Holy Spirit.

I think if I had to choose the most important sense amongst the 5 senses, I would choose sight. I love colour and unique objects in the environment. I am always looking to see something new or different. With our eyes we can discern so much about people. We can see what they are feeling, if ...read more

Instead, I would ...read more
