    Lent 5: James and John ask Jesus for seats of privilege at his right and left. Ambition, power and glory are often pursued - but at a cost. Glory to Jesus is much different than what we see... Be careful what you ask for!

    One of my favorite movies of all time is The Christmas Story. The character around whom the story revolves is nine year-old Ralphie.

    Lent 5 (B). Christ gave his life as a ransom, freeing us not only from sin, but from our own flesh and the power of the devil. We are now free to serve others, as we live under Him in His kingdom.

    The story of the adulterous woman helps us see that we should welcome sinners just as Jesus did

    We have been preaching through the book of John. Early in the book we sense the tension between Jesus and the religious leaders that led up to Jesus’ death.

    Son Of The Living God

     | 11,351 views

    Who do men say that I am? This is an awesome passage showing that the knowledge of who Jesus is comes from only God Himself. This is a grand statement on the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Verse 18 however has been hijacked and the truth must be told.

    This week was the beginning of lent. Lent was based on a 40 day fast that some people did in the early church attempting to emulate the 40 day fast of Jesus that took place immediately after His baptism. Over the years it has become connected with the 40 days preceding the resurrection of Jesus ...read more
