    How Have You Responded To Jesus’ Resurrection?

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 23, 2019
     | 8,191 views

    This message is about the disciples and their response to Jesus’ resurrection. And their response mirrors how many Christians respond to Jesus today.

    Jesus’ resurrection on that third day was 4000 years in the making. When God raised Jesus from the dead, it was the crescendo of our Heavenly Father’s plan to make it available for man to once again have His spiritual life living inside of him. That’s why Jesus not only died a spiritual death but ...read more

    Jesus said "on the third day I will rise." But did He? And how can we be confident of Christ's resurrection?

    The 53rd chapter of the Old Testament book of Isaiah is a powerful passage. For centuries Jewish Rabbis believed it talked about the coming Messiah. But they struggled with the message Isaiah 53 spoke of the Messiah as A SUFFERING SAVIOR: “He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we ...read more

    Christ’s fulfilled signs remind us we live on the edge, but His promise turns our fear into hope and readiness.

    Frank Sinatra used to sing, > “Just what makes that little old ant think he’ll move that rubber tree plant?” Anyone knows an ant can’t… But he’s got high hopes. That silly song always makes me smile. It’s about an ant with more courage than common sense — a creature who refuses to quit even ...read more

    A lot of grumpy bunkem occurs in outraged articles in the press about how our country isn't like what is was in the "good ol' Christian days" - but these grumpy ol' codgers have forgotten the truth and joy of the Easter message!

    What stories have you seen about Easter in the news? {take any suggestions} Two jumped out at me - and both of them were about Easter Eggs. In the first story a Doctor Andrew Kelso had written an article advising people not to scoff all their Easter Eggs in one go. There was an uproar. He can’t ...read more

    Look at 14:1 “And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, THAT THEY WATCHED HIM.”

    It is not hard for any of us to imagine how this took place in Luke 14:1. The Bible says He went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees. WHY DID HE GO THERE? Remember the Son of God became flesh as we are, and the Bible says He went into the Chief Pharisees house “…To eat bread on the ...read more

    The Tax Collector Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 9,774 views

    Matthew is highly regarded these days by Christians because of how powerful his gospel is. But he wasn't always loved. He had a label "tax collector" that made him hated. Why would Jesus a man like him to be a disciple?

    OPEN: Back in 2002, a newspaper in Massachusetts had this classified ad: “Unknown item for sale. We know it’s valuable; we just don’t know what it is. If you can identify it, we’ll sell it for $250.” (Reader’s Digest 9/02 p. 145) The Bible is a collection of stories where God knew why people ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 18, 2022
     | 1,339 views

    The next to last chapters of Jacob's life are like a quiet period between his arrival in Hebron and his final earthly journey to Egypt. He endured several things but there is no record he ever lost his faith.

    Introduction: After Jacob and his household returned to Hebron (Gen. 35:27), he seemed to settle down to a life of farming and ranching. Isaac, his father, had died; he was at peace with his brother Esau; and it seemed all would be going well for him in his twilight years. But several things were ...read more

     | 7,920 views

    Today we’re going to look at the danger of sleeping spiritually. Romans 13:12 gives us two reasons: “The night is far spent, the day is at hand.” We are told that this is no time to sleep. It is high time to awake.

    Alba 6-6-2022 IT IS HIGH TIME TO AWAKE Romans 13:11-14 They say the average American adult doesn't get enough sleep. Sleeping is a wonderful blessing. It refreshes the body and gives new strength. A Japanese transistor manufacturer scheduled 30-second "yawn breaks" into the ...read more

    We’re look at NINE SIGNS OF THE SOON COMING OF JESUS that have never happened before. These are signs that, if we’re not braindead, ought to be like flashing lights or sirens wailing – warning us to “all-hands-on-deck” readiness for the Second Coming.

    WAKE UP! JESUS IS COMING! Rom. 13:11-14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. I heard about these two men, Archie & Jack, who’d debated their whole lives whether Jesus was white or whether He was black.
