    Good Mourning

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Mar 21, 2019
     | 5,030 views

    Some lessons from grief in the wake of the first anniversary of my wife's passing.

    1. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. ...read more

    God resides in the inner man, and the man outside this God-occupied inner man is the outer man.

    A Light In The Darkness

    Contributed by Ian Hyde on Mar 29, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,662 views

    The beautiful truth of Christ's mission is that God was not just content to contain darkness or to hold it at bay for a while. Instead, he pierced the heart of it and conquered it on our behalf.

    INTRODUCTION The passage just read is probably one of my favorite Christmas passages from one of my favorite books of the Bible. In fact, it is one of the reasons Isaiah has sometimes been called the “fifth gospel”, because between this, 7:14, 11:1-9, and chapter 53, we have an almost complete ...read more

    Resurrected In Life

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 31, 2019
     | 3,763 views

    Paul began this second chapter with the sobering reality of man's condition apart from a relationship with Christ. He is utterly hopeless and condemned. Fortunately, God intervened, providing a Remedy!

    Resurrected in Life Ephesians 2: 4-7 In our previous study, Ephesians 2: 1-3, we discovered the utter depravity and hopelessness of mankind within the condemnation of sin. Because of sin, he is dead spiritually, separated from God, and in danger of eternal judgment. Their depravity in sin dictates ...read more

    HoHum: A Sunday school teacher asked her students to draw a picture of Jesus' family. After collecting the drawings, she noticed that one little boy's drawing depicted an airplane with four heads sticking out of the windows. "I see you drew three heads to show Joseph, Mary and Jesus," she said to ...read more

    Jesus explains the compound unity between the Father and the Son

    The Knowledge of Jesus and the Father John 14:6-11 In our last study we concluded with Jesus’ triple claim of exclusivity in John 14:6: Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Jesus is the only way to God the Father, ...read more

    A sermon for Easter Sunday.

    "The Resurrection and the Life" John 20:1-18 Mary Magdalene stood outside the tomb crying. Mary had been one of Jesus' closest followers.

    Resurrection Sunday 2016

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 29, 2016
     | 5,984 views

    Proof of the resurrection of Jesus is found in the Bible not just by the witness narratives but also in the spiritual transformations of Jesus' half brothers, James and Jude.

    Jesus Is Risen! He Is Risen Indeed! That’s not something we just chant and repeat mindlessly over and over to convince ourselves of some unprovable fact. There are eye witness testimonies; over 500 eye witnesses at one time, in fact. Luke 24:1-12 NIV “On the first day of the week, ...read more

    Jesus deliberately enables Himself to be arrested, showing that He is totally in control of the situation. In doing so Jesus demonstrates that no one who is in God’s family will be lost.

    Message John 18:1-27 “Where It All Starts”. For the next 8 weeks, and also on Easter Friday, we are going to focus our attention on the chapters 18-21 of John’s Gospel as we look at the Passion of Jesus and His willingness to give His life for us. We are entering the story at the point where Jesus ...read more

    For The Love Of Pete

    Contributed by Andrew Corbett on Apr 1, 2016
     | 4,846 views

    Following Christ as a leader involves answering one essential question. This question is answered by how we respond to the Enemy's sifting, and how we respond to Christ's impassioned enquiries.

    <h1>For The Love of Pete</h1> Of the many interactions that The Christ had with people, He had two particularly extremely curious conversations with his chief apostle, Peter. Curious may not be the right word. Bewildering may be more apt. One of them required Peter to act, the other required Peter ...read more

    When Daniel's World Changed Series

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Apr 7, 2016
     | 10,712 views

    By studying Daniel, we will get a glimpse of a man who lived and thrived in a pagan culture. Daniel instructs us how we should live in our culture today.

    Think with me to the year 1996. That was 20 years ago. Much has changed in 29 years! Do you remember your cell phone from 1996? Not everyone had a cell phone back then. They were fairly large, and they looked like, well, a telephone, with a receiver for your ear, a mouth piece, and.... an ...read more
