Jesus Wept! Why? Series

Contributed by John Bartol on Aug 8, 2012

An attempt to show how Christ can identify with us in time of need. He took our sins and sorrows and made them his very own.

Jesus Wept! Why? As we look to the word of God for comfort and instruction, I want to turn your attention to the shortest and one of the most beautiful verses in the Bible. “Jesus wept” ( John 11:35). Why those tears on the face of one who is the resurrection and the life and ...read more

Judas Iscariot

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 13, 2018

Why did Judas Iscariot betray Jesus - was there an ulterior motive? Did Judas Iscariot see something in Jesus that the other disciples missed? Was Judas Iscariot trying to kick-start Jesus into action as the real and promised Messiah, the expected Messiah

Judas Iscariot John 12: 1-8 Today’s gospel from John is set in holy week, the anointing of Jesus with precious ointment – a poignant scene; but Judas reacted that it was a terrible waste, the ointment could have been sold and the money given to the poor. John's comment is that Judas said this, ...read more

Jesus Anointed

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 15, 2018

In the Gospels we see two separate but distinct accounts of Jesus being anointed by women. Today let's take a look at the reactions of the Pharisees, the disciples and the "anointers" and see how we measure up.

Please stand and repeat with me our current memory verse ... 2 Timothy 2:11-13 “Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him; if we endure, we will also reign with Him.

Giving To The Giver Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Mar 19, 2018

We often think of our giving as giving to Jesus, here are examples of people actually giving to Jesus and what we can learn from their gifts.

When people talk about their giving you will often hear them speak about giving to the church or giving to God and sometimes about their gift to Jesus. And those are all valid expressions. I do feel that we give to God through the church and that our giving is an expression of love and obedience ...read more

The Anointed King Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 5, 2017

Mary gave up a lot to show her love for Jesus. It can be costly to be a disciple. To come before God the Father without fear, with our sins removed wiped clean to live forever in his presence far outweighs anything we might give up out of our love for him

We were discussing in our staff meeting this week the question of how you decide what to leave in your will, and to whom, when you die. As I was thinking about that I wondered how many of us have ever sat down and thought about what our priorities are in life; and when we come to write a will, to ...read more

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Mar 2, 2020

This is the 37th sermon in a series from the Gospel of John. In this sermon we examine the crowds that shouted Hosanna during the Triumphal Entry, but then later demanded that Jesus be crucified, and we discuss what led to this, and how true faith differs from this.

When have you faced an obstacle that seemed impossible? Jesus raising Lazarus back to life teaches us to 1) Trust God's timing, 2) Trust God's heart, and 3) Trust God's might.

Dead Man Walking John 11:1-45 March 29, 2020 I got my sermon title from that phrase used to describe someone from Death Row heading to their execution. They are called “Dead Man Walking.” It’s an eerie title for someone who is moving invariably toward their death. However, in today’s ...read more

How would we live our lives today if we could live forever? Immortality is our reality in Christ. Let’s examine the death and resurrection of Lazarus and the One who dares to call himself “the resurrection and the life” in John 11:1-45.

Like Jesus, Lazarus would die and rise again. Jesus knew the reason for his sickness, and he knew the outcome. But still, he wept. Why?

Eyes of Jesus In one of her short stories, writer Annie Dillard has a scene in which a family is sadly gathered at a grave to commit a loved one's body to the earth. At one point, the minister reads the familiar words from I Corinthians 15, "Where, O Death, is thy sting?" Upon ...read more
