    Jesus The Person

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 21, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,150 views

    One of the great things about God is that He wants us to know Him. Not just know about Him, but, to know Him.

    My servant grew up in the LORD’s presence like a tender green shoot, like a root in dry ground. There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him. He was despised and rejected— a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our ...read more

    Laborers Together With God

    Annual sermon, D. C. Baptist Convention. Clergy and laity will be in conflict, but it can be creative when we recognize our humanness, turn our competitiveness in productivity, and learn to identify where God is already at work.

    I've done a little work through the years in helping ministers get positions on church staffs. Every Baptist minister, I guess, has done that. Where are the bishops when you really need them? But it's been fun to help young ministers, particularly those who were students of mine from my campus ...read more

There is no other name in heaven or on earth that is more loved, more revered or more controversial than Jesus. At first glance, Jesus’ résumé is rather simple.

    We have to solve the problem back at the source of the problem. And that’s the human mind and heart.

    Ascension Sunday 2019 “Let us then be children no longer, tossed here and there, carried about by every wind of . . .human trickery.” If you’ve ever been a supervisor of little boys, you know what St. Paul is writing about to the Ephesians.

    The thirst of Jesus on the cross reminds us that Jesus is human - which makes Him eligible to take our place and our punishment.

    Message John 19:28 I Thirst Talk about the effect of the drought in Australia We understand what happens when you remove water from the land. We have this vast land called the outback.

    What if the wrong people end up in charge, in control of our government, your work, your school or whatever organization you are involved with? How will you respond?

    We’re in an election year again. In the midst of the Pandemic, the Democratic National Convention occurred virtually this week and dominated all the major TV networks.

    We Killed Him

     | 2,650 views

    Jesus went willingly to His death for our sakes, to fulfill the covenant obligation God freely took on with Abraham.

    We killed Him. O, I know the Roman procurator read the sentence, and Roman soldiers beat Jesus and crowned Him with thorns and hammered in the nails. They were what philosophers would call the “efficient cause” of Christ’s death. But Adam and Eve and David and Caligula and ...read more

    What does God have to say about pleasure, anyway?

    Is His Pleasure the same as My Pleasure? Ps 147:11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. Php 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Chik-Fil-A has a policy that their employees respond to the customers ...read more

    How Good Friday Is Good For Us

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 4, 2015
     | 5,611 views

    Jesus sees all our sins, but because he had made the ultimate sacrifice with his blood, we can have forgiveness. Christ is the sin eater who has taken care of all our sins, and that is another reason why Good Friday is good for us.

    What is so good about Good Friday? That is the question many of us probably ask when Good Friday comes around every year. After all, what is good about a day that commemorates Jesus' horrible torture and execution on a Roman cross? Good Friday is a dark day in some respects because it ...read more

     | 4,342 views

    The information-driven society is one that tries to secularize and pervert the human family into something it can never become.

    Thursday of 5th week in Course 2015 Joy of the Gospel Jesus has such a sense of humor that some commentators have mistaken it for cruelty. Of course, Jesus never sinned, so thinking this comment about throwing the bread to the dogs is a real insult is wrongheaded thinking. In reality, Jesus was ...read more
