    Today, many people go to great extents to avoid responsibility for their actions. When Jesus was crucified, a great injustice was done. Who Really Killed Jesus? This sermon looks at a list of likely suspects and shows how we have much in common with them.

    Note: I preach from an expanded outline not a manuscript. Also, there is an outline for the congregation to follow along at the end of the sermon. Also I have a bibliography there.

    We are called to finish the race, and it takes endurance. We need to be (1) prepared for the struggles that will come, and (2) focus our attention on Jesus. Ministry flows out of a love relationship with Christ. Our vision of Him will enable us to fini

    [Some of the thoughts in this sermon are taken from Max Lucado’s book Just Like Jesus.] Let’s learn about endurance today. We want to finish strong, not just starting well. I don’t always finish what I start. Chances are I am not alone. • We have unfinished tasks lying around - like a book ...read more

    Reasons To Be An Optimist Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on May 7, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,492 views

    This is the tenth message in a series over the first five chapters of the book of Romans. This message examines the reasons that the Gospel gives us for being optimistic.

    By definition an optimist is one that expects the best possible outcome of any given situation. Most of us would have to admit that we have a lot of difficulty remaining optimistic. Paul presented an argument that on the surface seems to leave us very little room for being optimistic. In fact, Paul ...read more

    A Prayer God Hears

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Oct 24, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,716 views

    Jesus shows two very different prayer styles, and in so doing, reveals two very different heart styles. One will enter the kingdom of heaven; one won't. Our prayer life should reflect humility throughout.

    Luke 18:9-14 A Prayer God Hears Last week we looked at a parable where Jesus taught us to be persistent in our prayers: pray always, never give up, and above all, keep the faith! Today, in the very next passage in the Bible, Jesus makes a different point: he really points to the very crux of our ...read more

    The Cross is foolish to those who are perishing.

    This week is what we know as Holy Week where we especially focus on the history of the death of Jesus Christ, His burial, and His resurrection from the dead.
