Immediately Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 5, 2001

This was done as a dramatic monologue, as if I were Mark; and costumed according to Mark 14:51-52! It makes use of one of Mark’s favorite words, "immediately", and argues that Jesus expects immediate response to His call.

What’s happening? What’s going on here? I came as quickly as I could. If you linger, you will miss Him. He waits for no one. He acts immediately. He is the most urgent person I’ve ever known. He just does not wait for anything. He acts immediately. So, again, what’s happening here? What ...read more

When Thou Hast Done, Thou Hast Not Done Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 25, 2001

If I know anything at all about life, I know that all of us want significance. We want to know that our lives have had meaning. We want to know, after we have invested a few years, that we have counted for something. We want significance. Years ago, I heard a lecture by Victor Frankl. Some of ...read more

An Unbroken Spirit

Contributed by Michael Poston on Sep 3, 2001

There is an unbroken spirit in the Church today that simply co-exists with lost humanity never reaching out to them with the message of Jesus.

Today we are living in a very unusual age as far as the church is concerned. A day when the hearts and lives of Christian people are not moved at all by the things that are happenning around them. If the world could ask of us some questions tonight I believe they would be: Do you still care ...read more

What We Do With Jesus After He Has Died?

Contributed by John Kapteyn on Oct 18, 2000

Joseph of Arimathae shows how we are to react to Christ when He does not seem to come through and when our hope seems lost.

Introductory Considerations 1. This day is the darkest day the world has ever seen - the day when the Son of God died on a cross because of our sin. 2. In our tenebrae presentation, the disciples are following Jesus and His ministry is going well - but as we will soon see, they will all leave him ...read more
