    In Kentucky, there’s a cave called “Mammoth Cave”, and on one of their tours, the guide stopped and turned to the crowd. He said: “Do you want to see what a real cave looks like?” And of course, everyone said yes. And, without another word - he SHUT OFF ALL THE LIGHTS. Now, that’s what a REAL ...read more

    Faith is not measured by certainty or outcomes, but by a living relationship with Jesus—trusting Him faithfully when answers are delayed and life remains unresolved.

    based on 4 ratings

    In this sermon we are discussing Peter's denial, and the fact that Jesus makes intercession for us. This could be used as an Easter sermon, or a stand-alone sermon that shows that because Christ has been raised from the dead, we have hope.

We’re starting a short series on the Resurrection in hopes that God will use these sermons to prepare our hearts for the holiday season. And that we’ll see how glorious, and wonderful, and awesome, and ...read more
