An Eggsample Of Folly

Contributed by David Nolte on May 12, 2021

We are often like the character Humpty Dumpty. Peter was too.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, all the King’s horses and all the King’s men could not put Humpty Dumpty together again! There is more than a nursery rhyme there. It is a parable of life, its injuries and the failure of human effort alone. This is an EGGsample of ...read more

Hope In The Face Of Fear Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021

Do you wonder why the Bible included the story of Judas’ suicide inside the pages of the Bible? The reason God included the story of Judas is simple: Not even the betrayal of one of Jesus’ chosen twelve can stop the mission of church.

Today, I want to speak to you on this important topic: “Hope in the Face of Fear.” Isolated from meeting together because of the Coronavirus, we meet for worship online. Of course, there is no substitute for gathering together in person. How I look forward to seeing everyone face to face! I am so ...read more

Seven Sundays To Easter: He Loved Them To The Uttermost Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 10, 2021

Jesus and the 12 Disciples celebrated Passover in the "upper room" in Jerusalem. While they were there, the Lord showed these men just how much He really loved them. Other things happened there, too.

Introduction: The apostle John was an eyewitness to many of the events he recorded in his Gospel. One of the most touching, in my opinion, is this episode that took place just hours before the Lord Jesus Christ was crucified. He knew exactly what the Lord meant, when John said the Lord loved them ...read more
