    Evil Distraction.

    Human beings usually focus their attention on one thing at a time, so if they are given anything interesting to focus on, they will not pay attention to what is of value to them.

    Just as in a magic show, the major method at work when the destiny pickpockets prepare their attack is distraction.

    Can‘t You Read The Sign!? Mark 3: 1-6

     | 23,074 views

    A number of times, the religionists had attacked Jesus, accusing Him of teaching a false religion. I guess they often wondered… “Hey Jesus! Can’t You read the sign!? We have rule against that kind of stuff!” In Mark chapter three we see yet another confrontation.

    While thinking about this message I was reminded of a song from my hippy days… And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply" So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do" So I took off my ...read more

    Holy Days

    Contributed by John Scott on Jun 30, 2014
     | 3,542 views

    We are not to let others judge us for not participating in Holy Days or judge others who are participating in Holy Day's celebrations. Christ is the one we need to over come our sins. Christ is our righteousness.

    1. There was a man who we use to worship with who felt like we should have been more a part of Advent and Holy Week. A. He threatened that he would not worship with us unless we went through the observation of Holy Week activities. B. Many in the very traditional church will celebrate a calendar ...read more

    How did the cross become a symbol of love and hope from a tool for excruciating death?

    Power of the Cross We are in the Lent season. Since we are not in the mainline, or traditional congregation, this fact might be overlooked and forgotten by many of us.

    Jesus Received Pontius Pilate Washing Of Hands

    To show that the LORD JESUS CHRIST is the Heifer that is to be sacrificed and He took away the guilt of Pontius Pilate but was sent to hell.

    I. EXORDIUM: Are we innocent of the blood of JESUS? No. The blood was shed for our own remission of sins Hebrews 9:22 (Amplified Bible) [In fact] under the Law almost everything is purified by means of blood, and without the shedding of blood there is neither release from sin and its guilt nor ...read more

    Although we wonder why God allows evil people to prevail, it is sometimes His plan to use such individuals to accomplish a greater purpose.

    The Betrayers: Ahithophel and Judas (2 Samuel 11-17, passim, with John 12:4-6) 1. A family was watching a movie of the life of Jesus on television.

    This is the 1st in a Lenten Series, and deals with ’preparation".

    It was said that Martin Luther King never prepared, but always preached based on what the Holy Spirit gave him to say. One day upon walking in to a large Cathedral to preach for a crowd, he asked God what he was to preach on, the answer came "You should have prepared". John Wooden once said ...read more
