Dealing with the movie, "The Passion of the Christ", it deals with the question of who was really responsible for Jesus’ crucifixion.
Today, I want to ask the question—who killed Jesus Christ? The answer is important, maybe more important than you realize. You see, there has been a lot of anti-Semitism because of the story of the passion, and there has been a lot of blame assessed to the Jewish people. In three days, a movie ...read more

As the conclusion of a series on the "Experiencing God" discipleship course, and for Christ the King Sunday and a stewardship emphasis. The only way one can experience God is to obey Him and wait for the grace of fulfillment.
The time comes when it is no longer good enough to know about something; you want to experience it directly. The moment comes when it just does not satisfy to have only an arm’s length relationship to something. The only thing that will satisfy is a first-hand, up close and personal, immediate ...read more
