     | 458 views

    This is good for Palm Sunday or any other Sunday. Jesus rides into town a humble King when people were expecting a conquering king... But Jesus conquered not through force but by being a humble servant..

    INTRODUCTION (Walk slowly onto the platform with a thoughtful look. Pause.) If you knew your death was only days away, how would you spend your final week? Would you be hiding? Crying? Maybe you would be trying to bargain with God? Not Jesus… He rode into Jerusalem… And He didn’t ride in all ...read more

    When we bent over a plant to pick its fruit, we didn’t expect apples or oranges or kiwi to be attached to the plant. We knew that strawberry plants always bear strawberries.

    We often see hope as something uncertain—a wish for better days ahead. But biblical hope is different. It’s not a wish; it’s a confident expectation rooted in the promises of God.

    Jesus travels to the Jordan River to inaugurate His ministry by being Baptized in the Jordan River. This is not what John the Baptist expects, as John's Baptism is a baptism of Repentance. Why was Jesus Baptized?

     | 708 views

    Living a life free from fear and anxiety is possible when we learn to trust God completely, giving our fears and worries to Him and expecting His peace to fill our hearts.

    So, you know how we all have that one drawer or closet in our room that's just full of random stuff? It's like a black hole, right? You throw in all the things you don't know what to do with, and they just disappear. But the thing is, they don't really go away. They're still there, cluttering up ...read more

    The story of Lazarus is filled with emotions on the extremes: from extreme despair and sadness because of the death of a loved one, to extreme joy and wonder following a miracle which brought him back to life. It’s widely considered one of, if not the greatest miracle of all those that Jesus ...read more

    We need to be motivated by what God calls us to do and not by what other people expect us to do. We have to do God’s will even if it doesn’t please people. God’s message is not in sync with the rest of the world.

    A Baptist minister and his wife decided to get a new dog. Ever mindful of the congregation, they knew the dog must also be a Baptist. They visited kennel after kennel and explained their needs. Finally they found a kennel whose owner assured them he had just the dog they wanted. The owner ...read more
