    Why Did Jesus Have To Die? Series

    based on 20 ratings
     | 5,647 views

    The death of Jesus was not by accident or by surprise but rather was a part of the plan of the Father to redeem the world

    Why did Jesus have to die? There was a greater purpose for the death of Jesus than many people realize and I do not believe that the movie truly pointed to this enough. However, the first scene Satan tells Jesus that no man can bear the world’s sin. This was the purpose of Jesus coming to this ...read more

     | 56,432 views

    Why would Jesus pray to have the "cup" taken away, if He knew that wasn’t going to happen? Was His prayer simply an excercise in futility, or was there something more to it? I learned some surprising truths as I prepared this sermon.

As the preacher came within earshot of the boy, he was surprised to hear the boy saying: "Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo." After the boy finished his praying the preacher approached him ...read more

    By using our tables to model the character of God, foster community, and surprise our guests, we can make a difference in the world.

    Hey guys, let's play a quick game. I'm going to start a sentence, and I want you to finish it. Ready? "The Son of Man came..." What's your answer?

    The sermon urges us to surrender judgment, embrace mercy, and let God transform our critical spirit into kindness and grace toward others.

    Some of us carried a quiet critic into church today. He rode in the car with us, sat beside us during worship, and has opinions about everything from traffic to the tempo of the first song. He’s subtle—civil even—but he speaks in sighs, shrugs, and silent scores. We know his voice: the whisper that ...read more
