    This time of year, people are in search of the perfect Christmas tree. The first Christmas tree, however, is the most important and perfect of all—the family tree of Jesus. This sermon looks at the first person listed in Matthew's genealogy of Jesus: Abraham.

    INTRODUCTION By a show of hands, how many of you have done the Ancestry DNA testing? I did it a few months ago, and they recently updated their database, and with the updated results, I have some questions.

    Paul believed that the Jews had first claim to the Gospel, for Jesus was first and foremost their Messiah. He had been born a Jew and had come to fulfill the Jewish Scriptures. So, no matter how bitterly Paul might be persecuted by the unbelieving Jews

    Mary Magdalene was the first to see the risen Christ? Why? Why not Peter, why not one of the other disciples? What made Mary so special that she was the first? What can we take away from her life to apply to ours?

    Mary Magdalene John 20:1-18 Easter isn’t about bunnies and eggs and candy, it’s about the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to continue my series on the Lesser known People of the Bible, but as I sat down and started ...read more

    Devoted To The Apostles' Teaching

    Contributed by David Owens on Jul 10, 2023
     | 3,060 views

    A. The Bible says that the early church “devoted themselves…” to a number of things. (NIV) 1. Some of the other translations express the phrase “devoted themselves” slightly differently. a. KJV: And they continued steadfastly b. NASV: They were continually devoting themselves 2. Their ...read more

    Easter Sunday 2002; Sermon delivered in Roman Centurion Costume What a strange religion these followers of Jesus Christ profess.
