    "Why Jesus Wept?"

    Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Aug 1, 2005
    based on 29 ratings
     | 8,810 views

    Two reasons, "For the wages of sin is death..." Death brings tears. "The gift of God is eternal life." Faith in Christ brings hope. Unbelief brings even greater tears!

    Title: “Why Jesus Wept?” Introduction: When Jesus was told that Lazarus was sick, the disciples did not want Jesus to go to Jerusalem. The text would suggest three reasons they could have used to try to talk Jesus out of making this trip. These same three reasons are excuses people use for not ...read more

    When Jesus Stops Series

     | 7,460 views

    Sometimes we feel like God is too busy for us. Jesus teaches us that He is concerned with each one of us and He takes the time we need.

    1. I like the story of a receptionist at a busy dental office who said that they had a patient who was always late for his dental work. She called him to confirm an appointment and he said, “I’m very busy so I’ll probably be about 15 minutes late. That won’t be a problem, will it?” She responded, ...read more

    When Jesus Satisfies Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Jan 22, 2019
     | 3,401 views

    If we follow the teachings of Jesus in the manner he directs, we will live a satisfying life. It is not a matter of mere convenience but of rich conviction.

    1. Everything we purchase has its price tag. Generally, the higher the price, the more valuable to item. There is a story (maybe a preacher story) of someone who decided it would be fun to break into a department store, not to steal but to rearrange price tags. High priced items were given ...read more

     | 7,369 views

    In this sermon, the preacher focuses on the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. He believes that after Jesus Christ, Mary is the principal person in the history of salvation. He explains that it was pure love-in-faith which brought about Mary's motherhood to Jesus.

    Reflection Mary, the Mother of Jesus Why did God choose Mary? What was His reason for giving this particular place in His plan of salvation? This question can time to time arise in us when we think of Mary the Mother of Jesus. Christianity is not simply a religion. First and foremost, ...read more

    The most important thing is to save the sheep.

    Thursday of the 31st Week in Course Lumen Fidei Jesus would have made a very poor businessman. Business owners must think in terms of profit and loss. It is true that they have to treat their employees and customers humanely, or they’ll lose both. That’s a matter of good business. ...read more

    Hope in the midst of suffering.

    JESUS UPON THE CROSS. Psalm 22:1-15. The details of the sufferings in Psalm 22:1-21 match more exactly the anguish of Jesus upon the Cross than anything that we can find in any of the written records of David’s life - and because of this the church has always read this Psalm of David as a ...read more

    Matthew 27:15-26 An overly-ambitious American attorney who telephoned the governor just after midnight, insisting that he talk to him about being a judge at the state capitol.

    Contributed by Warren Lamb on Jul 8, 2006
    based on 9 ratings

    Jesus drew from the same raw materials that He draws from today when He calls men and women to be His disciples. In this series, we are looking at each of the Twelve as in-depth as we can, based upon what we can know and discern from the Scripture.

    We return once again to the 10th Chapter of the Gospel of Matthew. We have been absent from this study for a time, so I want to review for a moment what we have discovered so far in this section of our study. We began looking at the men that Jesus commissioned that day to begin sharing the gospel ...read more

    Jesus drew from the same raw materials that He draws from today when He calls men and women to be His disciples. In this series, we are looking at each of the Twelve as in-depth as we can, based upon what we can know and discern from the Scripture.

    Once again we turn to the 10th Chapter of the Gospel of Matthew. We focused on the Apostle Peter last time, and we learned quite a bit about how Jesus can use the raw material of a person who is willing to be used. What do you remember about the way the disciples are grouped and paired in the ...read more
