     | 4,882 views

    The salvation that Jesus Christ has made possible for us came through conflict resolution.

    What comes to mind when you hear the word "conflict?" Anger? Fear? Anxiety? A person’s name or face? A memory of a past event or a word spoken that you want to forget but can’t? Some of us fear conflict, like the grass in the African proverb, “when bull elephants fight, the grass always loses.” ...read more

So all the great doctrines of the Bible are built around this subject. A doctrine that we ...read more

    The sorrow, struggle and submission of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.

    THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS For most part of the Gospel accounts, we see the charming side of Jesus - His power to heal the sick; His compassion for the weak and poor; the authority He has when He preached the Word of God. We don’t often see Jesus struggling in sorrow. Today, we’re looking at ...read more

    Everyone wants to know the end of a story. That alone makes people candidates for hearing the gospel.

    Although I’m sure there are exceptions, it has been apparent at least in my own personal observations, that people need to see things through to a finish. Just a few years ago a man named Vernon Howell and his deluded followers attacked ATF agents. Then they barricaded themselves against the ...read more

    Lets look at why Jesus was drawn to this garden. As we better understand why He came to this place of prayer, well see a pattern that we can follow in our own prayers.

    Have you noticed how the Passion movie has generated an unprecedented amount of TV specials, magazine cover stories, and a continuous cultural conversation about Christ? Im thankful for that.

    As we come to the last part of Matthew 26, we will see that those intent on trying Jesus were filled with prejudice because their minds were made up before they heard all the facts.

    “Where the Victory is Won” Matthew 26:36-56 INTRODUCTION An event in the life of Jesus illustrates for us that victory over sin day by day is not so much accomplished in the moment of action itself, but in the silent moments of inner turmoil and wrestling that occurs prior to the event.
