We are devoting ourselves to a study of one of the powerful chapters in the Bible, Isaiah 53. It has been called the Bible in miniature. Many believe this is the best single chapter in the whole Bible to explain what happened on the cross.
This series is a tool to help shape your heart in preparation for Easter. Here are three brief reasons why you should rehearse the narrative of our Lord’s grief carefully: 1) Seeing Jesus’ Sorrow Lightens My Pain One cannot think long about Jesus’ agony without tears. I have personally have had ...read more

Scripture: Ephesians 4:2-6
Shepherds were known for their devotion to the sheep in their care. This parable illustrates Jesus's love for us as the shepherd of our souls who laid down His life for us. His sheep follow Him because they know His voice.
John 10:1 - 10: “Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his ...read more

John makes Mary the first to see the risen Christ, and the first to have her tears of grief wiped away by the reality of the resurrection.
It I had a dollar for every tear shed by men and women if the Bible, I would be a wealthy man, for the Bible is a book soaked with the tears of the saints. The weeping of the wicked and the sobs of sinners added to the tears of the saints makes a salty sea of liquid. Not only was Jesus a man of ...read more

The paralytic in Mark 2:1-12 had paralysis that was obviously caused by his sin. His suffering and his sin were somehow connected. That is why Jesus enables the paralyzed man to experience healing as forgiveness.

We often hear of the dumb things that people have done that are reported on the news media.
Illus: Let me share with you some true stories that have been reported on the news, such as: • In Chicago: A man was wanted for throwing bricks through jewelry store windows and making off with the loot.

Scripture: Matthew 25:1-25
Today we want to look at a conversation between the Lord Jesus and a woman at the well. We find this conversation recorded in the gospel of John.
As many of you know, John is not included in the synoptic gospels. WHY? The Lord’s earthly ministry was around 3 1/2 years. • The synoptic gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke deal with the last year of His ministry. They dealt with a lot of things in His ministry, but not in much detail. • The ...read more

As we enter a New Year, we never know what things will be like during the next 365 days. Some go to fortunetellers at this time of the year hoping to find out what the future holds for them.
But God had a purpose in us not knowing everything. Illus: A man was wandering around a fairground and he happened to see a fortuneteller's tent. Thinking it would be good for a laugh, he went inside and sat down. "Ahh....." said the woman, as she gazed into her crystal ball. ...read more
