Jesus Condemned To Death Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 11, 2022

The corrupt high priest was speaking prophetically, not realizing that he really was predicting that the death of Jesus would prevent the eternal death of billions of human beings who would believe in Him.

Jesus Condemned to Death Those of us who have had the privilege and honor of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land always make Jerusalem part of the holy time. There, although the Jewish Temple has been replaced by a grand mosque, we can see the very places we read about in the New Testament, the actions ...read more

When God Doesn't Make Sense Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jul 10, 2021

Jesus' beloved friends had requested He come for their urgent need. But He didn't show up when He could have? What are we to think when God doesn't answer our prayers--there's only silence--and midnight passes?

Boy, we live in some tumultuous times, don’t we? Earthquake and tsunami in Japan. A nuclear disaster there as a result. Uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt and Libya. Our nation involved in wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and now Libya. And wasn’t it only a few months ago that a huge earthquake ...read more

Have you ever had something bad happen in your life, that God used to bring about something really great?

Which Shepherd Are You Choosing? (Pt. 2) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 19, 2022

This exposition of Zechariah 11:7-17 examines Zechariah's prediction of Christ's rejection at his First Advent and the consequences of that rejection. The timeless truth taught is: when the leadership God sends is rejected, the judgment that follows is bad leadership.

Intro We concluded last week with God instructing Zechariah to take on the role of a shepherd. Follow with me as we read Zechariah 11:4. “This is what the Lord my God says: ‘Shepherd the flock marked for slaughter.”i That is the assignment God gives Zechariah. He is to represent the Lord as a good ...read more

When God Doesn't Make Sense Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jun 16, 2021

Maybe the Lord didn't show up when you needed Him. Maybe there was absolute silence in response to your most desperate prayers. It's happened before, and to people Jesus loved dearly. What could account for Jesus' seeming uncaring response?

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 21, 2022

How did Jesus do his signs, and how were the disciples able to do the signs? And what can we learn from this?

The last few weeks, I've been pushing the idea that God will still do signs, and wonders, and healings through us, as Jesus works in us, through the power of the Holy Spirit. I think God is far more willing to do great things in the world through us than we realize. I think the weakness, and ...read more

That Year!

Contributed by Bala Samson on Dec 14, 2021

The words "That year” should not be overlooked and hastily read because God’s plan is inside it, God would keep specific people in specific positions for His purpose, are you listening?
