Publicly Speaking...

Contributed by Suresh Manoharan on Nov 27, 2011

The need to worship our multi-faceted God for His singular trait of making PUBLIC STATEMENT as to his existence, the veracity of the Bible, salvation through the Cross and the imminent Second coming of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

PUBLICLY SPEAKING…! I have said before and I never tire of reiterating it; we are essentially created to worship the Creator. When it comes to worshipping Him, more than expressing our adoration for the blessings, He showers upon us our ...read more

The Blessing Of The Ascension Series

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Apr 15, 2010

Why did Jesus bear the burden of the cross, why the resurrection the breakthrough? So that we coud experience the blessing of God. The best definition of the Holy Spirit is Christ in us. Easter is over but the word and work of Jesus are still ongoing.

Intro: Thus far we have examined the burden of the cross, the breakthrough of the resurrection, now we come to the blessing of the ascension. How can it be that I would say that Jesus, the embodiment of God leaving this planet would be a blessing? Because the bodily incarnation of God cannot ...read more

Scars To Show

Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Dec 29, 2014

A perspective on John 20: 19-23. Jesus showed them his hands and side, the scars of his torment and death on the cross. This would have been an uncomfortable moment for them as they remembered their failures, abandonment, and lack of faith in Jesus.

Contributed by Troy Mcgahan on Apr 30, 2015

In the OT the blood of sacrificed animals was shed to take away the sins of the people and this had to be done annually, but when Jesus went to the cross on our behalf in obedience to the Father's will, our sins were taken away once and for all.
