    “How do you expect me to believe in God,” asked Woody Allen, “when only last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of my electric typewriter?” There are many people like Woody Allen who focus on the annoyances of life rather than wonderful things of life. It always seems that the troubles of ...read more

    Jesus showed up 4 days late for Lazarus' funeral. Why? And what can that mean to us as Christians?

    Social Media (texting/twitter/etc.) has created a whole new set of terms. These terms are called “acronyms”, and they’re basically abbreviations of common phrases. For example “LOL” means (wait for the audience to respond) – that’s right “Laugh Out Loud.” LOL is simply shorthand for a term that ...read more

    Jesus, Son of God (Who Do YOU Say that I Am?) Matthew 16:13-17 INTRODUCTION: Have you ever talked to someone who thinks Jesus was a great teacher and a good man, but nothing more?

    Making Jesus Real

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Sep 27, 2023
     | 1,088 views

    The Love of God was put on display for all the world to see. Those who believed became the personal recipients of that love. As His family we want continue to make the love of Jesus obvious to others, through our words and our actions, we cannot divorce one from the other.

    We took this summer to discuss many different philosophical as well as biblical arguments that point to God’s existence. Yet amongst all the arguments, I believe one of the greatest testimonies for the existence of a personal God is His love (1 John 4:8). Love is at the core of the Christian faith ...read more

    Who was really on trial? Jesus or Pilate?

    The entire story seems to be about Pilate grappling with the issues of truth and justice. The entire story is also about the Jewish leaders and their pathetic and flagrant disregard for life and innocence. But the story is also about Jesus’ steadfast commitment to the people for whom he came. ...read more
