A Psalm Sunday Journey

Contributed by Eric Hanson on Jun 24, 2015

We all need to take our own Palm Sunday Journey; not to a physical Cross, but to purposely go to Calvary on the inside, and die to self-rule, so that we can live in the Lord's power and HIs direction.

A Palm Sunday JOURNEY Palm Sunday 2015 Eric J. Hanson INTRODUCTION (Read John 12:1-19) The reason Jesus came into Jerusalem on that Sunday long ago was not to get a thrill. He did not come into the capital city in order to set up an Earthly kingdom while his popularity was peaking and he had ...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.

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.

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
