Will You Choose Jesus? (John 12:27-50) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 9, 2022

God set it up so that Jesus would be rejected by most. His master plan, was that Jesus die on the cross. But at the same time, any single individual could still come to Jesus.

Let's start today by reading part of last week's passage, John 12:20-26: (20) Now, there were some Greeks from among the ones going up [to Jerusalem], in order that they would worship at the festival. (21) Then, these ones approached Philip-- the one from Bethsaida of Galilee-- and they ...read more

Look! Who Is Coming To Dinner? John 12, Part 1

Contributed by Jay Yousling on Dec 29, 2020

People have preconceived notions of public figures. People have immediate, often polarizing opinions, about the person. Jesus was like this. He was a well know but little understood national figure. When you see Jesus, who do you see?

“Fear not, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a colt of a donkey.” John 12:15 1. Dinner Anyone? There is a ‘getting acquainted’ question that is asked sometimes.

Contributed by Jay Yousling on Dec 29, 2020

Well, there is something that God wants for us. He wants us to BEHOLD, Behold Your King! Have you had enough of Jesus? Does it taste like more? Or, do you want a decaf version of the Savior?

The King Is Coming Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 2, 2021

Kaiser Wilhelm II entered Jerusalem through the Jaffa gate mounted on a beautiful white horse. Nearly 2000 years before, Jesus had entered Jerusalem through the Eastern gate mounted upon a humble donkey. Two dignitaries entered the same city in two different ways. Why the differences?

So 6 months before the Kaiser’s scheduled arrival, the Sultan replaced the mayor of Jerusalem with a more ...read more

Not The Jesus They Wanted Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 10, 2021

The crowds were looking for a Christ who would "remain" and lead them into glorious earthly kingdom, but Jesus was talking about being "lifted up" and not being with them forever. The Jesus they wanted wasn't the Jesus they were getting.

Cyanide.” “King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 porcupines.” “The men who followed the Lord were called ...read more

Making God's Dream Our Dream Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 25, 2021

We have to make the same decision that Jesus did, which is to abuse power for selfish ends, or to use power for godly goals.
