    based on 137 ratings
     | 3,711 views

    As Jesus’ body hung lifeless on the cross on that Friday afternoon, "the promise of life" that He would rise again was a greater reality than anyone then imagined. "The Promise of Life" is still available today!

    "The Promise of Life" Matthew 27:57-66 INTRODUCTION Jesus was dead! Those who hated Jesus and sought to destroy Him were relieved--they thought they were rid of Him. But even after Jesus died on Friday, there lingered the promise of Jesus that He would rise again on the third day! This promise ...read more

    Treasure seekers who seek first the kingdom of God find His kingdom to be more than they could ever imagine. When filled by God, they are ready to share out of the abundance of what they have received.

    TREASURE SEEKERS Matthew 6:19- 34 I hope the kids are excited about this year’s VBS. It is called Treasure Cove and the goal is to inspire kids to be treasure seekers, not for the treasures this world has to offer, but for the treasure that will never spoil or rot – an intimate relationship with ...read more

    Sin is bad because it takes so much more than it gives - God is great because he takes only what is needed and gives more than we could ever ask or imagine

    High Priced Veal - The Golden Calf Series

    Contributed by Peter Loughman on Jun 8, 2008
    based on 8 ratings
     | 11,650 views

    We are not necessarily interested in who God is; We are interested in who God is, for us. The Hebrews create an image and call it the Lord God, they believe they are still serving the true God, but it is a lie of their imagination.

    So, I’m waiting in line at that high end culinary experience, Taco Bell, and I get into a conversation with this woman. The conversation starts off with how crazy it is that Taco Bell can make fifty menu items out of only about seven ingredients and then moves on to Christianity. At one point this ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 17,156 views

    The LORD does not like to share his position as God with other wannabes. So he declares his uniqueness as the only God to his people and warns them not to imagine him in any other way.

    HAVE WE MADE GOD IN OUR IMAGE? Few things in life make a father prouder than when his son resembles him. There is a feeling of connection and ownership when others see your expressions and physical features in your son’s face. Sometimes the son isn’t so excited to resemble “Dad” but I think ol’ ...read more

    Often romanticized, bejeweled, and loved as beautiful – but symbol of the cross was nothing of the sort when Jesus met it two thousand years ago. It was the most hideous, damnable, obscene instrument of death one could imagine.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,290 views

    Ready to join a Jesus Parade? It's different than you may imagine. It involves kingship and protest. It involves faith and courage. It involves surrender and sacrifice. It involves praise and peace. But it leads to a life of victory.

    Scripture: Mark 11 Mark 11 New International Version (NIV) Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King 11 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, ...read more

    Do you care about God's approval? Imagine a form that you have to fill out to get approval from God. What will that form be? What should be the information in that form to get the approval?

    Do you care about God's approval? Do you wonder if God is pleased with your Christian life? How can you make sure that God approves of your life that he gave you?

    Jehovah Shalom - God Is Peace Series

    Contributed by Paul Basehore on Feb 12, 2015
     | 12,498 views

    Fear is a self-preservation instinct -- it's designed to protect us from something that may cause us real or imagined harm. But Jesus says in Matthew not to fear death, but to fear God. What's the difference?

    Jehovah Shalom - God of Peace Fear is a constant in our world. It’s so immersed in our culture that sometimes it’s actually considered a psychiatric issue, complete with fancy descriptive terms! I thought it may be interesting to read some of these to you tonight. Some seem normal, but ...read more

    Imagine what it must have been like for Jesus! How do you start a conversation with Jesus? If you were Jesus what would you say? The normal icebreakers are not going to work ….

    Matthew 16:20 – HOW TO START A CONVERSATION WITH JESUS Walking into the building that morning (some years ago) a couple we did not know greeted us, engaging with us in conversation easily. How pleasing to go away on holidays and return to be welcomed warmly as guests by perfect strangers. ...read more

    The Greatest

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 12, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,848 views

    The analogy of the child being the greatest in God’s Kingdom was completely contrary to the prevailing culture then and now. Imagine how His disciples must have reacted to Jesus then and how indifferent it is even today.

    Opening illustration: If God was taking resumes, what would you put on yours? In other words, what makes a good Christian? What would really impress them when you arrive in heaven? Experience, qualifications, references, character traits … The reason I asked is because followers of Jesus ...read more

    Feast of Mary, Mother of the Church 2020 Today we heard the familiar stories of the fall of humanity, and the redemption of humanity.

    When Judging, We Are Judged Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 10,846 views

    The Word cautions Christians against a judgemental attitude. When we imagine that we are judging others--even those we identify as "wicked sinners," we expose ourselves to the very judgements we pronounce.

    “You have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things.” [1] “We know” is an expression used ...read more
