    Big Idea: Jesus earned the right to be called our Captain by his courage under fire. - Hebrews 2:10. - Jesus is called the “captain of our salvation” in this verse and I want this morning to pursue the military analogy that that puts forward. - “Captain” is the Greek word “archegos” which means ...read more

    If we will have faith, Jesus can resurrect areas of our life we have written off as dead, gone, over, or impossible.

    First, there was the agony of Jairus over his young daughter. Then Mary and Martha mourn for their brother Lazarus. These people all shared something in common. They dealt with the unexpected Death of a family member. In fact, both situations had Jesus at the center of attention. In both cases, ...read more
