    The risen Christ rolls away the stones that hold us back: secrets we carry, fears and suspicions. He provides "leverage" to move these things out of the way.

But I would guess that some very large spiritual thing stands in your way. If you sift through all the ...read more

    THE CHURCH OF OUR LORD WAS NEVER AN AFTERTHOUGHT. IT WAS PURPOSED BY GOD BEFORE THE WORLD WAS CREATED. THE CHURCH IS COMPOSED OF GOD’S PEOPLE.

    The Church: The Day The World Changed Text: Acts, Chapter 2 This morning, I’d like to continue our series on the Lord’s Church.

    based on 35 ratings
     | 14,578 views

    We ask the Holy Spirit to work through the verses of Psalm 47 to gently remind us of what the ascension of Jesus means for us. We have no reason to live our lives like deer caught in a car’s headlights. In light of this Psalm may each of us be empowered to live with an ascension attitude!

    ‘‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking into the sky?” Do you think the angels were really looking for an answer from the disciples when they asked that question? It doesn’t seem as though they were. The question appears to have implied that the disciples had no good reason for standing ...read more

    In our image-conscious world, we often try to remake Christ to suit our needs. Presented here in a way for both believers and seekers, the good news is that Christ isn’t who we say, but Christ is who He is -- the Love of God made flesh to save humanity!
