Encountering Jesus Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Dec 18, 2022

John 1:1-5 sets the stage for the rest of gospel - we get to see the Son of God, the Messiah in every story, every place, every circumstance and with every person. This is what John wants the reader to experience in their own lives, to encounter Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah.

John Stott said, “Nothing hinders evangelism more than the widespread loss of confidence in the truth, relevance, and power of the Gospel.” There has been an erosion of convictions in Christian circles concerning: 1. the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible, 2. the exclusive truth claims of ...read more

Jesus Was Rejected Series

Contributed by Robert Irvine on Apr 23, 2024

Jesus was rejected by his family, by his local religious leaders, by Judas Iscariot, by Simon Peter, and then finally by God. So expect to be rejected if you share the Good News of Jesus Christ and him crucified.

The Old Testament word “hadel” is used in this verse that is transliterated as rejected, but this word has also been used in the Bible to mean forbearing. The word “hadel” is used in Ez 3: when God told the prophet that some will listen to the message but there will also be those who refuse to ...read more

Living Jesus

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024

Faith is not just believing that Jesus can save; it's asking Him to do it.

Opening illustration: Suppose you are rushed to the hospital, where a physician examines you and informs you that you are critically ill. He says you’ll die unless you have proper treatment. He then prescribes medicine and says, “If you will take this, I can assure you with absolute certainty that ...read more

Rooted In Jesus

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024

The fact that believers are in a state of being complete in Christ indicates that there is nothing of a higher spiritual blessing to be found anywhere else including, but not limited to, this false Gnostic philosophy found in Colosse.

Opening illustration: There was once a farmer who went to town to purchase seeds for his farm. As he was returning home one of the squash seeds he had purchased fell from his pocket onto the ground. It happened that within a few feet was another seed of a different type. The place where the two ...read more

Desperate For Jesus

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024

I believe that there really is such a place for that kind of desperation in our lives today. However, most important is the discernment of what it is that we want for ourselves.

Opening illustration: Healing of a Hindu gentleman [in the Middle-East] who opened his house for prayer and became a Christian at his time of deepest need and crisis. Introduction: The story of this woman has always fascinated me for nowhere else in the scripture can we find a healing literally ...read more

This Jesus Is Alive!

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 26, 2024

Jesus is not some historical person -- He's alive today and relevant to our lives! Thomas, the skeptic, asked for unreasonable proofs of the resurrection, but Jesus proved it beyond all doubt!

The Strategy Of Jesus Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Oct 27, 2023

After modeling going and preaching the kingdom of heaven, Jesus sends his disciples out to do the same. He is sending them out two by two, to preach repentance from town to town. Jesus had purpose in all he was doing. Jesus is the expert mission strategist.

Jesus had a three-year ministry. He accomplished everything he set out to accomplish. His entire ministry was done according to his strategic plan. Nothing was left to chance. He prayed all night before he chose his disciples. These disciples were the ones he was preparing for three years to ...read more

The Politics Of Jesus

Contributed by Tj Long Jr on Oct 30, 2023

Christians think they align with Jesus' views. Some are surprised, others offended. Jesus’ campaign sounds like a liberal utopia because we’re not ready to let go of hate, we’re not ready to trust in God and not in the law. We have to transcend hate and show the mercy we’ve been shown by God.

There are only two shows that I’ve ever watched the entire series. One of which I still own on DVD and have watched the entire series 3 times. If there was any show that I’d love to see still running today it would be this one. I’d love to see how it would interpret and respond to the issues of our ...read more

Did you read something new in God’s Word? Familiar with new eyes? Something you didn’t understand and reach out to someone help you understand? It’s been several weeks since we have played Scriptural Gymnastics, so I figured we are due!

Today’s key verse found in Matthew 11:28-30, and we’ll get there eventually! The title of today’s message is RESTING IN JESUS. We first see the English word rest in Genesis 2:2: • And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which ...read more
