    We Killed Him

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 9, 2015
     | 2,624 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

     | 5,960 views

    There is no other name in heaven or on earth that is more loved, more revered or more controversial than Jesus. This three-part sermon series answers the question, "Who is Jesus?" by examining three descriptions of Jesus given in Revelation.

    Jesus Revealed: Part 1 Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 2/10/2012 Jesus. 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.

    You Are What You Eat

    Contributed by Antonio Silveira on Jun 11, 2011

     | 7,338 views

    Our eating style reflects and affects who and what we are. It identifies our approach to life. Today I’m not talking about Pizza or Shepherd pie but would like to teach about our Spiritual food and the choices we make.

    Our eating style reflects and affects who and what we are. It identifies our approach to life. If we examine various societies and cultures, we see that each has its traditional foods and food ceremonies. "I am Italian. I often eat spaghetti, lasagna, or pizza," or "I am a real American. I eat ...read more

    Echoes That Will Not Die

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 3, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,004 views

    In the song of the angels we hear echoes of our ancient problems -- meaning, sin, peace -- all of which are dealt with in the coming of Christ.

    The drama of Christmas is focused on a starlit night at a manger, on a mother and a babe, on the small things of life. And yet it is also wide open to eternity, it is a window into past and present and future. The drama of Christmas seems to play on such ordinary things. Tax legislation; taxes, ...read more

    Don't Waste Your Most Precious Possession Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 25, 2018
    based on 5 ratings
     | 53,649 views

    You haven't always existed; only God is eternal in both directions. Your soul will exist long after your physical life is over, either in heaven with God or in hell separated from God.

    INTRODUCTION What is your most precious possession? This world has plenty of expensive baubles and trinkets. Here are some actual things people own that they probably consider to be a precious possession. For instance, how about a gold-plated, diamond studded iPhone? The cost is $2.97 million and ...read more

    The Great Betrayal

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Feb 5, 2018
     | 10,035 views

    Judas first stole a few shekels and then made some more wrong choices until he was pulled deeper and deeper into depravity. Be careful about minimizing your sins because they may lead you to something even darker and more destructive.

    The month of February reminds me of my candidating weekend at Edgewood five years ago when you were checking me out and I was checking you out to see how God might be leading each of us. I think I preached at least five times, attended a number of groups and met with a ton of people. I still ...read more

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

    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.

    Scripture doesn’t record all Christ's wonderful takings on of our burdens, but I bet He even helped put out neighborhood fires and built some barns.

    Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Course The readings today revolve so much around the Divine gift of marriage that we cannot ignore that teaching of Jesus. Marriage is a divine gift to bring together in an enduring bond what the devil and sin tried to separate not long after the creation of humans. The ...read more
