    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Dec 14, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 482 views

    Last words matter. The final recorded words of Jesus before He ascended in glory are not suggestions - they are not optional extras for “special Christians.” They are orders from our risen Lord and King.

    Sent by the King: Following Jesus into a World That Needs the Gospel – Matthew 28:19–20 Introduction – The Call That Still Echoes Church, some final words change everything. A last embrace.

    We live in a generation obsessed with speed. Fast food, instant messages, same-day delivery — everything now. Yet when it comes to God’s promises, many ask: “Why does God seem slow?”

     | 6,556 views

    There are times in our lives when we are at the peak of joy when we do not want the moment to end. There are other times when we do not feel as though we will make to the journey’s end because of being on the verge of burning out.

    COMING DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN Text: Mark 9: 2-9 One of my favorite places in all of the United States is at Lake Junaluska, North Carolina. Any one who has ever been to Lake Junaluska will know what I am talking about. Many ministers dream of having a retirement home there. It is indeed ...read more

    The angel said that Jesus had come to forgive us of our sins... but why would the story of a baby be important to the Gospel message. What is there about a baby that would figure into God offering us forgiveness?

     | 4,288 views

    God has given us the ability to feel the emotion of hopelessness, so that we will look for the ultimate source of hope. I believe that the resurrection of Jesus is the greatest source of hope in the universe.
