Is It Really The Lord's Will?

Contributed by Fred Sigle on Oct 18, 2000

What Part Are You

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Oct 23, 2000

Looks at Paul's comparison between the Church and the body of Christ.

How do you feel about your body? Strange question isn’t it? Most of us would rather not think about our bodies and if we do we probably don’t think very complementary things.

Preparing For Easter

Contributed by James Tetley on Apr 5, 2006

To prepare for Easter we must not go straight to the cross and the resurrection but remember that the battle for Easter was fought and won in the Garden of Gethsemane

Preparing for Easter (Matthew 26:36-46) If Easter were to have a logo – it would be most associated with bunny rabbits, and chocolate eggs, chocolate coins, in fact chocolate anything. And for many chocoholics after 4 months of famine since the Christmas gluttony, Easter comes as a welcome ...read more

Next!

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Apr 18, 2006

When we are standing before the throne on Judgment Day, perhaps one of the scariest words we will ever hear is, "NEXT!"

Every Sunday evening, after I get home from church, I start trying to think about what to preach about the next Sunday.

Jesus says, "I am the resurrection and the life." The message explores what it means to have Jesus as your life, and to live abundantly.

When Jesus Calls My Name

Contributed by Pat Damiani on Apr 21, 2006

When Jesus called Mary’s name that first Easter morning, it made a tremendous impact on her life. Jesus still calls our name and it ought to impact our lives in a similar way.

As we go through life, many different people call our name. And it’s amazing to me just how many different messages that can be conveyed to us, depending on just how people call our name: • When we’re growing up, our parents call our name. Sometimes that is done in a very calm, gentle, loving ...read more
