Jesus Is Literally Alive Right Now

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 27, 2021

The disciples were terrified. They hid together in their dwelling in Jerusalem, trembling with fear. They didn’t know if roman soldiers or temple guards might burst through the doors at any moment and arrest them all.

Staying The Course

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Apr 16, 2018

Our text today finds the Apostle Paul on his way to Jerusalem. He is well aware of the animosity of the Jews toward him, and quite uncertain what his future will hold once he arrives.

The Trouble With Truth

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Aug 11, 2015

Today Jews are looking to the time when God will be worshiped by Israel once again and Jerusalem will be the center of that worship. But just as in the days of Amos a false religion will replace the true worship. Saints that time is fast approaching

Message: Today we look at a farmer who stands on the Word of God and who takes on a King who has replaced the word of God with a lie. It is really a David and Goliath kind of story but this farmer never throws a stone he just uses God’s word to cut this king down to size. This farmer goes to ...read more

What To Do With God’s Word

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Sep 7, 2015

A church split could have occurred in the Jerusalem church, but it didn't. That's the background of Acts 11:1-21. But a subtext is the role the Word of God played in the entire passage. Thats the subject of this passage.

What to Do with God’s Word TEXT: Acts 11:1-21 – “And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God. 2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him, 3 Saying, Thou wentest ...read more

Whose Line Is It Anyway?

Contributed by Troy Borst on Mar 17, 2016

As we think about this event, it makes sense to me that there are four groups of people present at the Triumphal Entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem and each of them have a different motivation for being there and sheds light on their hearts.

WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY? JOHN 12:12-19 [Palm Sunday 2016] INTRODUCTION… cnn.com/2016/03/13/politics/thomas-dimassimo-donald-trump-protester-interview/ It is election season so there is much going on in the news about the candidates and the rallies that they hold.

The Coming King Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Dec 22, 2019

The King will come and His Kingdom will be established in the end time. He will reign over the earth from Jerusalem. Israel will be regathered as His flock in His land. This is the heart of God. He wants to be with His people.

God gave the remnant in Zechariah 9-14 TWO oracles (messages) revealing their future: • In Zech 9-11 God foretells the COMING of their Messiah, the King. • We know that Jesus did come, and He will come again. When He returns, He will establish Himself as King in Jerusalem and reign over the ...read more

Would You Have Gone? Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 29, 2023

God leads Paul to Jerusalem. It doesn't seem to make sense. It will be costly. Friends advise against. Would you have gone? We see God's priority is mission.

INTRODUCTION Have you ever been in a situation where you felt that God was asking you to do… Something that DIDN’T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE to you? Something that was COSTLY? Something that all your friends URGE YOU NOT TO DO? That was the situation the apostle Paul was in. Many years previously ...read more

After Easter: He Showed Them His Hands And Feet

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Apr 9, 2021

The disciples were still in Jerusalem during the evening of Resurrection Day. When the Lord Jesus Christ appeared suddenly, they were terrified! But when they saw His hands and feet, they began to believe HE WAS ALIVE!

Introduction: On Resurrection Day, the Lord Jesus Christ had walked with Cleopas and another disciple from Jerusalem to Emmaus. The Lord not only walked with them, He also explained the Scriptures about Himself to them and shared a meal with them. After this, He vanished out of their sight and the ...read more

Gathering With God’s People Series

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Feb 16, 2022

The Psalms of Ascent have an upward motion. They begin in Psalm 120 with the psalmist crying out in trouble far away from Jerusalem, and they end in Psalm 134 with the psalmist offering up praise in the temple courts.

Gathering with God’s People Psalm 122 We are studying the Psalms of Ascent together and when we reach Psalm 122 something odd happens. The psalmist arrives in Jerusalem. There are fifteen Psalms of Ascent, and we are only on the third psalm and we’re already there! How can that be? The Psalms ...read more

One Heart And One Soul Series

Contributed by Ricky Tuttle Thd on Sep 20, 2024

As we are looking at the New Testament Church in Jerusalem, I am intrigued with this simple statement in verse 32, “them that believed were of one heart and of one soul:” What would it take for us to be the same?

“One Heart And One Soul” Acts 4:32-37 As we are looking at the New Testament Church in Jerusalem, I am intrigued with this simple statement in verse 32, “them that believed were of one heart and of one soul:” What would it take for us to be the same?

Praising The Beauty Of Holiness.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 31, 2025

Before we can talk about the “city of our God” we must recognise and acknowledge the God of the city. The Bible does not begin with Jerusalem, but with God. The New Testament does not begin with the church, but with Jesus.

PRAISING THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS. Psalm 48:1-7. This psalm begins with a simple statement of fact: “Great is the LORD” and, because of the greatness of the LORD, He is “greatly to be praised” (PSALM 48:1a). Where is the LORD to be praised? In the place that God has chosen (cf. 2 Chronicles ...read more

The Week That Changed The World: The Day Jesus Cleaned House Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 3, 2021

The Lord Jesus arrived in Jerusalem hailed by the Jews as the Davidic king who would restore Israel. He arrived not for that purpose, but to fulfill Isaiah's prophecy of the Suffering Servant who restored all of HIs people back to God. The first step was to restore His house.

The final week of Jesus' public ministry had started with His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, being hailed as the rightful heir of David and the One who would finally drive out the hated Roman Gentile oppressors and restore the nation of Israel back to its former glory, or so the people ...read more

"Jesus Loves Me, This I Know"

Contributed by Clark Tanner on Mar 23, 2010

For the Bible tells me so...

“Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end." Jesus knew that His hour had come. This should not come as a startling revelation to anyone ...read more
