    The Donkey King

     | 10,443 views

    In a day when Christians in America are increasingly in a crusading posture to capture more political, social, and economic power, the picture of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a lowly donkey and anticipating intense opposition, rejection, and death makes

    Opening illustration: Every spring, hundreds of Hollywood stars gather for the Academy Awards. Very few “slip in the back door:” instead, they make an entrance.

    Is it okay to be rich? Should we "hate" our family to follow Christ? These questions are answered through understanding original intent.

    September 8, 2013 Rope to Thread Definitions! What do we really understand from the words that we use? Recently, a “Mother’s Dictionary” was written that includes some ways mom understands certain words, including; Bottle feeding: an opportunity for daddy to get up at 2-am ...read more

    Pilate's Wife

    Contributed by Claude Alexander on Apr 2, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,735 views

    It is surprising, and sad, that the only testimony (in effect) on Jesus’ behalf during the trial was made, not by any of Jesus’ disciples, nor apostles, nor followers, but by Pilate’s wife.

    Pilate's Wife Matt. 27:11-26 The chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole council of the Sanhedrin had decided to put Jesus to death. They had Jesus brought before Pilate the governor to pronounce the death sentence. (Mark 15:1; Luke 22:66; 23:1) Pontius Pilate was the fifth ...read more

    The Blessing Of Brokeness Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 4, 2004
    based on 16 ratings
     | 5,712 views

    Jesus’ followers are to submit to His Lordship and do His will. If we are to submit ourselves to the Lord, we must begin with a broken, teachable spirit. That teachable spirit is described for us in the "beautiful words," the Beatitudes"

    The Blessing of Brokeness (Matt. 5:1-6?) Intro 1. We all have our dreaded moments: medical tests, standing on the scale, childbirth, sea-sickness, nursing home…. 2. One of my dreaded moments is beginning right now—preaching through the Sermon on the Mount…. 3. The Sermon on the Mount contains ...read more

    Christmas Day - Its Implications

    Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Dec 25, 2003
    based on 87 ratings
     | 9,072 views

    Christmas Day: What are the implications of God becoming man? We explore this question in this message.

    Jesus’ birth had been prophesied for centuries prior to his coming into the world. One reason that many devout and religious people missed his arrival on that first Christmas Day was because He came “wrapped” in a way that they didn’t expect. Many were waiting for a Messiah that would come with ...read more

    Why Did Jesus Have To Die?

    Contributed by Ray Mckendry on Apr 1, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,885 views

    Jesus was not just a good man with a good example to share. He was something much more. Jesus was the substitutionary sacrifice we all need because we sinned against God and cannot offer a sufficient payment to cover our debt.

    Why Did Jesus Have to Die? I can see why the good actions of Jesus may cause some people to emulate him. I can even see that it may lead to better lives, but I cannot see how His example can change their hearts!

    King For A Day

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on May 30, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,409 views

    Could it be that many who followed Jesus into Jerusalem turned away from him when they realized Jesus was not going to overthrow the government? Do we seek our own selfish agenda through Christ or is He truly our King?

    King for a Day Luke 19:28-48 The word Hosanna is a Greek word which is translated from the Hebrew word hoshiiah na which means save now. A few weeks ago we learned Jesus was called Yeshua Hamashia or Jesus the Messiah. Today we celebrate and remember how Jesus was King for a Day as he rode into ...read more

    Come And See Series

     | 7,475 views

    Christianity is experiential. Jesus invites John's disciples to come and see. He invites us to come and see, also. When we look expecting to see Jesus we see him all around us. The Holy Spirit transforms us and excites us when we see Jesus.

    John 1:29-42 “Come and See” INTRODUCTION In a few moments, we’re going to flash a picture on the screen. I’d like you to count how many saguaro cactus there are in the picture. We’ll give you ten seconds to count them. Are you ready? [Show picture] Now, can you ...read more

    Good Things Come To Those Who Wait

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jul 9, 2015
     | 9,204 views

    When we receive the bread and wine during Holy Communion, we are holding Christ’s very body and blood, which was nailed to the cross and poured out for our forgiveness. We have seen it with our own eyes and felt it with our own hands and on our tongues.

    Have you ever heard of the old saying, “Good things come to those who wait”? If so, the story of Simeon, Anna and the baby Jesus in the temple in Lune 2:22-40 is a good example. The coming of Christ involved all manner of waiting on God. A young maiden, a dying man and an old widow all ...read more
