    Two Women, Two Testimonies, One Glorious Lord Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,258 views

    Mark 5:21-43 tells of the healing of two women who received new lives when it seemed all was lost. Each one was a living testimony of the miracle-working power of the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Mark draws our attention in his Gospel to the miracles of the Lord Jesus. Thus far, He has shown HIs power over disease (1:29-31, 34, 40-45; 2:1-12; 3:16), over demons (1:23-28, 34; 5:1-20), and over the forces of nature (4:35-41). We will now read in our exposition of this Gospel about further ...read more

    How Does Personal Spiritual Growth Connect To The Church? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Sep 30, 2020
     | 1,968 views

    Paul closes out his second letter to the Corinthians with a plea from his heart for their spiritual growth. Why do we today so seldom see that at a practical level in our churches?

    - I should note as we begin that v. 8 is a difficult verse. Its meaning is not clear. It’s not essential to grasp that verse in order to be able to understand the larger point that Paul is making, so we’re just going to lay it aside this evening. There’s not any benefit tonight in spending a ...read more

    "The Jesus Way" Vs "The American Way"

    Contributed by Cris Willis on Jul 29, 2014

    A call to the modern church to return to its passion for the one who gave His life, His all for our sins, our future, our hopes, our everything that is right, good and holy exist in Him. Why then is the church pursuing a love relationship with the world!

    Introduction: Jesus said ...“I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). The Jesus way wedded to the Jesus truth brings about the Jesus life. We can’t proclaim the Jesus truth but then do it any old way we like. Nor can we follow the Jesus way without speaking the Jesus ...read more
