     | 8,396 views

    There is no friend like the friend we have in Jesus.

    Oh What a Friend! Hebrews 4:14-16 There are a lot of things friends share today -- secrets, tickets to a ballgame, notes for a test, cars, time, a shoulder to cry on, a warm handshake of welcome, and much more; but the greatest thing a friend could ever share with someone he or she truly cares ...read more

    Either you is, or you ain't

    It is important to point out at the beginning, that the reason Jesus’ mother and brothers have come is to take Him quietly back home to Nazareth. They think He has gone crazy. They’re probably slightly embarrassed; standing outside this crowded house, asking someone nearer the door to call ...read more

    Christ: Compassionate

    based on 46 ratings
     | 5,252 views

    Compassion comes first with Jesus.

    The gospel writers did not record for us every moment of the life of Christ. At the end of his account, John tells us that “...there were also many other things which Jesus did...”. And supposes that if they were all written in detail the world would not contain the books. That may be a ...read more

    A devotion for church leaders

    (A brief devotion on prayer) “In the days of His flesh, He offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His piety.” The primary theme that this author seems to have chosen and adhered to throughout ...read more

     | 2,785 views

    How does one find a faith that is relevant for the 21st century?

    Several months ago I caught John Larroquette, the actor, on the “Tonight Show.” Somehow the conversation turned to religion. I don’t remember much about the conversation, but I do remember Mr. Larroquette making a comment about television evangelists that has stuck with me. He said, “Seeing ...read more

    Looking at one of Jesus’ most stressful day and understand how, in the midst of unexpected news, demands and storms, He is able to find peace and composure.

    Experiencing the Peace of Jesus - Jesus Under Pressure It’s Sunday. Sundays are always busy days for me. Sundays are always early days for me. Today promised to be no exception.

    The Good Samaritan Series

    based on 54 ratings
     | 19,440 views

    What is it that hinders us from doing the good that we should be doing? We are often like the Priest and the Levite, sometimes we just miss the point of our faith. Sometimes Christianity becomes just a religion to us and not a lifestyle

    “Parable of the Good Samaritan” Introduction: At approximately 3:20 on the morning of March 13, 1964, twenty-eight-year-old …(Kitty) Genovese was returning to her home in a nice middle-class area of Queens, NY….

     | 10,807 views

    Which type of soil is your faith planted in? For many I am afraid that they are not planted in the good soil.

    “Parable of the Sower” Introduction It seems odd to me that all Christians respond differently to God’s Word. It is weird to me that we can all come to church and hear the same sermon and even sit in the same pew, but some take something away from it and others don’t. We all respond differently ...read more

    Today I want to talk to anyone who is beginning to put away their nets.... who is ready to call it day in their life. You see, there are good reasons why Peter at the end of our text -- had net full...

    Trading Spaces is a really popular Reality TV Show where homeowners compete and everyone hopefully ends up with a beautifully decorated room. Jesus traded spaces with us. . .

    Trading Spaces Because he had grown up just outside New York City a young pastor barely knew a cow from an ear of corn. That is, until he married a small town country girl from Ohio and traded spaces. Trading New York City for a small rural community, the day of his first sermon he tried very ...read more

     | 9,440 views

    An inspiring study of Jesus’ high priestly prayer uttered on the eve of His crucifixion.

    Jesus prayed this prayer while on His way to Gethsemane. His words are dominated, even in His (humanly speaking) darkest "hour", by a spirit of high reverence for His Father and a loving concern for His then-present and future followers - I.Prayer for Himself: Glorification, Vss. 1-8 "Glorify ...read more

    Jesus is the sacrifice that has won our redemption.

    A tourist visited a church in Germany and was surprised to see the carved figure of a lamb near the top of the church’s tower. He asked why it was there and was told that when the church was being built, a workman fell from a high scaffold. His co-workers rushed down, expecting to find him dead. ...read more
