    What will you do with Jesus? is a question we often ask of non-Christians. But what about Christians. How do we answer that question?

    OPEN: At the turn of the century, the "Des Moines Register" ran a scathing review of an Iowa singing group named the Cherry Sisters.

    Satan wanted Jesus to bow down before him... how dare he? What possible reason would Satan even have to ask such an outrageous thing (part of a series on the book and movie trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien).

    OPEN: Several years ago, Christian Herter was running hard for reelection as Governor of Massachusetts, and one day he arrived late at a barbecue.

    The Name We Claim Series

     | 4,576 views

    Early believers were able to face opposition and tribulation because they focused upon their identity, following Jesus. What is our identity?

    Sometimes, we get suckered in by the idea that identity and relationship are not important. We buy into Shakespeare’s rhetorical question and answer from Act II, Scene II of Romeo and Juliet: What is in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. We ...read more

    This event in the life of the early church gives us guidance in how to pray with power.

    As I’ve probably shared with you once before, I was tremendously challenged by a conversational exchange in a short-lived situation comedy. It was a comedy where the late Danny Thomas played a doctor. There was a scene in “The Practice” where a nurse overhears Thomas’ character praying. When she ...read more

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 18, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,484 views

    The death and resurrection of Christ give Him the authority to command us to disciple beyond superficiality, to reach even the marginal, and to have a global scope to our mission.

    Somebody out there has a plan for your life. Somebody has a plan for the world you live in. Time and again I see evidence that there are those who believe that with enough planning, enough energy, and enough work, they will get you into their orbit. They have a plan for your life and for your ...read more

    Contributed by Terry Barnhill on Feb 3, 2009
     | 3,930 views

    To this day people still have difficulty defining who God is, and if Jesus was God incarnate, then who is Jesus?

    Patrick Morley wrote, “The turning point in our lives is when we stop seeking the God we want and start seeking the God who is.” (quote from SermonCentral.com) In the person of Jesus Christ, God came to earth to live among us in the person of His only begotten Son.

    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,062 views

    Is forgiveness of sins the greatest need of a paralyzed man? Yes! It’s our greatest need too, and the greatest need of others we know. Since only God can forgive sins against him, Jesus claimed the authority of God.

    ONLY GOD CAN FORGIVE SINS—Mark 1:1-12 ***It was a Sunday morning, and light was just beginning to dawn. I got up and went to the bathroom, and promptly fainted. When I came around, I panicked, because I felt a tingling in my arm, a marker for a stroke. My wife called 911, and after a couple of ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 20,473 views

    "The Psalm of the King" is an exposition of Psalm 2, a Royal Psalm that declares Jesus reigns over heaven and earth. Psalm 2 declares the unimpeachable authority of Jesus Christ in four movements.

    THE PSALM OF THE KING Psalm 2 Psalm 2 is closely connected to Psalm 1. Both Jewish and Christian traditions indicate they were once considered one psalm. The two are separate psalms in our Bibles. Yet they stand together as the introduction to the Psalms. In a real sense, these two psalms seem ...read more
