    07 A God Of Rest And Redemption Series

    Contributed by Seth Lawson on Apr 25, 2025
     | 54 views

    Only Jesus gives the rest we long for and the redemption we need.

    Palm Sunday is a day of paradox. Crowds shout “Hosanna!” but miss the King they’re praising. Palm branches wave in celebration of the freedom they hoped Jesus would bring, but He rides in on a donkey, not a war horse. The people longed for deliverance from Rome, but Jesus came to deliver their ...read more

    Lost And Found

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 29, 2023
     | 1,097 views

    Not everybody who is lost wants to be found, and when God finds us, we often rebel - at first - against being brought home.

    Have any of you ever tried to put an injured cat into a carrying case to take it to the vet? How many of you got scratched for your pains? It doesn’t seem quite fair, does it? All you’re trying to do is help. Animals are supposed to be so intuitive; many people claim they can actually smell ...read more

    How To Respond When God Calls

    based on 6 ratings

    The disciples responded immediately to Jesus’ invitation. They left everything to follow. And heaven was their final destination.

    “How to Respond When Jesus Calls” 3/25/2007 Jesus was walking along the shore of the lake. I’m told it was much like Walker Lake, near Hawthorne, Nevada, where I once pastured. Kind of a treeless lake in the desert. But I imagine it could have been something like the north shore of Lake ...read more

    Bowling Alone: Dying For Lack Of Hope

    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,452 views

    The aloneness that has become a hallmark of our modern age presents a great opportunity for the people of God to present the message of life. As Christ calls people to rest in Him, the churches must echo that call.

    “Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” [1] Robert Putnam raised a red flag for people living in ...read more

    Caution: Restoring New Testament Evangelism Series

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 15, 2014
     | 6,727 views

    This lesson examines what the Bible means when it talks about evangelism and then compares this to what we see being called "evangelism" today. Have we redefined evangelism to ease our consciences?

    Introduction Our first lesson was a reminder of our mission. We have been given the green light to evangelize by the Lord, and this mission was given to each and every Christian, not just a select few. Each one of us are called by God to “love our neighbor as ourselves” and to have an ...read more

    Three good reasons why we are not ashamed of the Gospel

    An invitation to expect greater things from God.

    - This passage can be taken in at least two ways. One is the proximate interpretation, which involves the return of Israel to their land. A second also concerns Israel’s return to their land, but in a longer timeframe. A third is that the promises here for Israel believing the great promises of ...read more

    We need correction in the high chair not the electric chair! Where are the footprints of parents leading their children? We teach temporal lessons seldom eternal.

     | 8,030 views

    We like to be invited to things. It makes us feel good to be on the guest list. It tells you the person cares and wants you to be a part of what they're doing. Jesus gave an invitation in Matt. 11:28-30. Let's take a look at this invitation and see what we can learn.

    COME TO ME Matt. 11:28-30 We like to be invited to things. Depending on the event, we might get a fancy, overpriced invitation in the mail, requesting our presence at such-and-such.

    Large crowds followed Jesus, coming where He was. He could've waited on them to come to Him, but often He went out, seeking them. Jesus was often found among those society rejected. We too must be willing to go where they are, seeking to reach them.

    Found among Sinners Mark 2: 13-17 Following a season of ministry around the region of Galilee, Jesus had returned to Capernaum. His return created quite a stir, as multitudes arrived at Peter’s house, hoping to see Jesus. The palsied man was miraculously healed, and Jesus made a statement that ...read more
