     | 12,084 views

    Jesus rose from the grave. But he kept his scars. Why? His scars will tell the TRUE story of His sacrifice for us forever and ever. His scars are glorious.

    Happy Birthday Herod!

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 14, 2016
     | 9,486 views

    Herod had a birthday party, but ended up paying for it instead of receiving. It's a story of unforgiveness, a seductive dance, and a well-intentioned man who by compromise was pulled into grave sin.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEROD! Mk. 6:17-28 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: PLAYPEN 1. A young mother complained to her friend about the difficulties of child rearing, especially the lack of peace and constant pestering by her small children. 2.

    Jesus the ultimate Locksmith Has the “the keys” of life and death. He doesn’t turn up with a box of tools that doesn’t work. Death frightens most of us, but hope in Christ gives us reassurance-He conquered the grave.

    God’s Locksmith Revelation 1:17, 18 tells us that Jesus is the ultimate Locksmith. He isn’t just the solution to a momentary inconvenience. He doesn’t turn up with a box of tools that may or may not work. Jesus has “the keys of death and Hades [the grave]” (verse 18). Jesus offers Himself as the ...read more

    What kind of a gift are you leaving for your children and for those who are around you. What kind of words will speak from beyond the grave when you are no longer able to speak.

    I want to talk to you today about my father. I dedicate this message and the remainder of this service to the “Bishop”. Dad, I probably haven’t told you enough times and made you aware enough how much I love you and how much I appreciate the things you have added to my life. So Dad – I love ...read more

    Many think that John, upon seeing the grave clothes, believed that Jesus had risen. This sermon challenges that view and, more importantly, what we really believe (live out).

    “Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. 2 Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them, ‘They have taken away the Lord out of ...read more

    Jesus arrives late to see Lazarus after he's been in the grave for four days. If only He had been there earlier? No. His timing was just right.
