    This text is often quoted and preached from at funerals to encourage us.

    I AM the Resurrection and the Life: An Exposition of John 11:1-45 John’s gospel is a dramatic portrayal of the person of Jesus whereas truth is portrayed in extended story and narrative.

    Christians should not take sin lightly, but need to focus on developing their relationship to God instead. Paul offers several arguments to convince us of this. There are other motivations besides merit and fear (Law); Grace motivates us out of love, app

    You are not an accident you are a life of great importance and no one but you can do what you can do. In this sermon I challenge you to take great caution in living because every day you live you are writing your obituary.

     | 9,818 views

    Christians must be aware of becoming hypercritical of divine work and of other believers, ascribing what is done as unworthy of Christ. To explore this situation, the message is a study of Jesus' censure of the generation in which He then lived.

    “Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force. ...read more
