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?

They want to be handed all the blessings of peace, prosperity, and providence which somehow they think God represents but they fall short of diligently seeking Him. That if I do what the pastor ...read more

The Necessity Of The Cross

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 8, 2021

Whoever heard of listing the necessities of life and putting the cross at the top of the list? Yet, that is where it belongs. Without the cross there is no salvation, and without salvation life is worse than meaningless.

Over fifteen hundred years ago, on Good Friday, Ambrose the Bishop of Milan ascended to his pulpit in the Cathedral of Milan and said to his congregation, "I find it impossible to speak to you today. The events of Good Friday are too great for human words." Centuries later the great ...read more

Contributed by Ken Henson on Apr 12, 2014

How do we respond to God’s Timing, when it does not match our own? How do we respond to God’s Love, both the Love He gives us, and the Love he desires to show through us to others? How do we obey God’s Command, even when it means our own suffering?
