    Jesus was not only crucified but he became a curse for us.

    HE BECAME A CURSE The crucifixion was a horrifying experience. It was a method of torture. Beatings, the crushing of bones, tearing of flesh was some of the things that Jesus faced.

    God has called us to be constantly fanning the spiritual flames inside us, and it is up to us to train ourselves to make the Spiritual Disciplines part of our routine, or lifestyle. This sermon is a variation on my "Pursuing Purity" teaching.

    Spiritual Disciplines Maintaining Integrity of Heart So fearful were the ancient Chinese of their enemies on the north that they built the Great Wall of China, one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world.

    There Is A Fountain

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Mar 11, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 20,256 views

    This fountain was commissioned by God Himself before He ever created the world. IT IS NOT A FOUNTAIN OF WATER -- IT IS A FOUNTAIN OF BLOOD. Zechariah’s prophecy tells us of the climax of God’s revelation of his plan of salvation - it’s the crux of the Gospel.

    TITLE: THERE IS A FOUNTAIN SCRIPTURE: ZECHARIAH 13:1 In this magnificent passage, Zechariah states “A FOUNTAIN WILL BE OPENED.” When we think of the word “fountain,” we probably have in mind a fountain in a public park that sprays water into the air, somewhat like the Splash Pads we see in ...read more

    Isaiah tells us this newborn Messiah would bring light to a dark world. In what ways is our world "dark" and how does Jesus change that in our lives?

    Thanksgiving Holiday: "In latter times some will depart from the faith . . . commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving" (1 Timothy 4:1-2). We must be thankful for everything God has provided!

    I’ve entitled our message for this morning “Just Be Thankful.” If I were to subtitle this sermon, it would be “Learning Contentment in Tofurkey Times.” Right now you’re probably thinking I’m crazy, or perhaps you’re stumped wondering what tofurkey is!
