THE NATIVITY OFF SCRIPT! The innkeeper at Bethlehem was one of the minor characters of the Nativity. He couldn’t find room for Mary as an expectant mother. Why? This poem tells he story.

Church Growth

Contributed by Dean Morgan on Jun 14, 2006

The blooms of the fig tree always appear before the leaves in spring. When Jesus saw leaves on a fig tree, he expected the fruit.

Let me begin by saying something about Jesus cursing the fig tree. You will also find this story in Matthew 21: 18 and 19. This tree was a fruit-producing plant which could be either a tall tree or a low-spreading shrub. The size of the tree depended on its location and soil. The fruit of the ...read more

Jesus Series

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Dec 21, 2022

Luke 2:1-7 teaches us about the birth of Jesus so that we can understand the reason for his birth.

Introduction One commentator says, “If you try to point out something to a dog, the dog will often look at your finger instead of at the object you’re trying to point to. This is frustrating, but it illustrates a natural mistake we all make from time to time.” It’s a mistake that many people ...read more

The Jews expected a Messiah, was it Jesus?

Jesus Who? November 11, 12, & 15, 2007 Jesus The Christ Jesus the Messiah It may be surprising, but “Christ” is not Jesus’ last name.

Why The Word Became Flesh

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Dec 21, 2019

What Jesus did for us should leave us in awe.

Why the Word Became Flesh Hebrews 2:5-18 Even though we find the words “And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us” in the Gospel of John, the Book of Hebrews describes the incarnation of Jesus in detail. The first chapter of Hebrews sets the table for the earthly Jesus. He describes the ...read more

The Barren Fig Tree Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 2, 2018

Jesus approached a fig tree expecting to find fruit, but it only had leaves. While it looked promising from a distance, looks were deceiving. Are we bearing fruit or just showing pretty leaves and blooms?

The Barren Fig Tree Mark 11: 12-14; 20-21 Our text today follows Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. He had begun what most consider the Passion Week, the final days leading up to His crucifixion on Calvary’s hill. Most agree these events would have taken place on Monday morning of that ...read more

The Search For Jesus

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Aug 7, 2022

As Christians we all want to get close to Jesus but few are able to develop a close, personal relationship with Him due to focusing on their own needs first instead of the kingdom of God.

Jesus In The Lion's Den Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 3, 2022

Let’s fast forward in time around 550 years from Daniel’s day. As we leave our time machine, we have left the ancient land of modern-day Iraq because we now find ourselves in Jerusalem. We arrive at the Mount of Olives at night, just outside the skirts of ancient Jerusalem.

Daniel’s story is in your Bible so you’ll always know hope. Hope in the Christian sense is the confident and certain expectation of future blessings and the confidence that the best is yet to come. We need a hope that a virus cannot touch. We need a hope that a divorce cannot destroy. We need a ...read more
