Like A Palm Tree

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 2, 2023

[Palm Sunday.] Today we wave the palms as we come to this table … a sign that our sin has come to end. Today we wave the palms and come to this table as we profess our desire to serve God wholeheartedly.

Palm Sunday. A perfect example of the fact that Jesus’ Disciples and His followers get it … and don’t get it. They get that He is a king … a leader … a prophet and messiah sent by God … but … a king … a leader … a prophet … a messiah who rides into the Jerusalem on colt … not a great stallion or ...read more

The Christian finds joy in being freed from guilt, anticipating an eternal reward, having fellowship with God, and being part of God’s work.

"Spontaneous Worship"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Aug 24, 2006

I have divided my thoughts on this text into two divisions: Three things that you can plan on. And seven things that you cannot plan on. Spontaneous worship is the essence of revival!

Title: "Spontaneous Worship" Introduction: We do not know for certain who the woman was in this text, but we do know for certain that we will see her in Heaven and that her example has made a great impact on Christ and his Church. Tradition has it that it was Mary Magdalene in the text. I have ...read more

Can Love Heal A Broken Heart?

Contributed by James Kirkland on Feb 14, 2011

The phrase “I Love You” will eventually bring up the response, “Why Do You Love Me”. Well now you can be on the spot. Why, Why, Why? What can I say, what should I say? Why do I love him or her?

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 15, 2010

I have heard the terms "GO TO HELL" and "SEE YOU IN HELL" used all too casually over the years. Hell, as described in the Bible, is not something you would wish on even your worst enemies.
