    Peter And Easter

    Contributed by James Hickman on Mar 19, 2016
     | 7,417 views

    How did Peter greet the first Easter? His failure before the crucifixion may have kept him from fully appreciating what Easter meant. Using the clues given in the gospels and elsewhere, the sermon discusses how Jesus dealt with Peter's failure and fear.

    Peter and Easter Luke 24:12 Though the women told and retold the story of their experience at the empty tomb, the Eleven and the other disciples didn't believe them. It was just too incredible. Yet, Peter seems to have decided something must have happened at the tomb and determined to find out ...read more

    Everyday, the Lord is inviting us to draw closer and have fellowship with Him. But many times, we are too busy that we tend to ignore His invitation for us. In this message, we will learn three important responses from the life of Moses.

    THE LORD'S INVITATION TO COME UP INTRODUCTION: We will continue our study on the Book of Exodus. We are now in chapter 24 when the elders of Israel saw God and had a time of great fellowship with Him.

     | 5,600 views

    John's final book begins with glorious encounters in the heavenlies. God's outline of the book was,1. The things you have seen, 2. the things which are, and 3. and the things which shall be. This is part one of the outline, and most important!

    1. The things which John saw. (1:1-20) Address of origin (1: 1-2). John receives this document from an angel. Even when Jesus appears to be speaking, the angel is delivering the message. Knowing just this one fact will make much of the reading in the beginning and especially at the very end of the ...read more

     | 2,873 views

    I want you all to know that the importance to all of this relates very closely to the subject of “Authority in Religion” . . . It is impossible to maintain unity unless we can agree upon a ‘standard’ of authority. Funny thing is . . .

    Unity

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Oct 23, 2021
     | 7,186 views

    The unity of followers is one of the most important - and yet problematic - charisteristics of the disciples. Jesus prayed for it the last night he would be with his chosen disciples. Yet since then the church has been characterized in the eyes of the world as riddled with division and strife.
