Why Does Easter Matter

Contributed by Jay Robison on Feb 24, 2009

What difference does Easter make? The sermon looks at "explanations" for Jesus’ death on the cross. But Easter matters because we all have baggage in life, we will die one day, and we need help.

All That Jesus Did Is All That I Need

Contributed by Rick George on Mar 19, 2009

We’re no longer under the reign of the enemy - Christ is victorious through the Cross.

The devil wants us to be spiritual couch potatoes. He wants us to be satisfied and content with mediocrity. He doesn’t want us to dream radical dreams, to think revolutionary thoughts, to think of the impossibilities becoming possibilities.

Two Full Plates Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 23, 2009

We are given the plate of growth gifts: space, quiet, renewal, guidance; and the plate of opportunities: to be present at ultimate times, to enter dangerous places, to receive responsibility.

If you approach someone and ask him to take on a responsibility, but his answer is, "I have a very full plate," what does he mean? Does he mean, "I can’t do it right now because I just sat down to dinner. Let me finish eating and I’ll do it"? No, if you ask someone to do something and he replies ...read more
