     | 1,127 views

    Illus: Recently one mother, who had to do this with her first baby, explained that she began to cry as she wrapped that little eight-pound boy up in his warm blanket to get him ready for the day-care. She said that throughout the day she was constantly wondering what he was doing. Jesus knows ...read more

    If you are "Left Behind" you will be lost. Don’t believe the lie.

    Some Days There’s No Second Chance With the popularity of the “Left Behind” series, there is a prevalent doctrine that after the Rapture folks who were nominal believers or heard the Gospel but either rejected it or just put off being saved will get another chance. This is a very desirable ...read more

    The most important thing that Jesus wants us to know about the last days is simply to be ready at all times.

    The Hidden Work That Brings God’s Power

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 18, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,840 views

    This encounter makes no sense (why would Matthew just get up and follow this man) unless you know the behind-the-scenes encounters that happened prior. This message unpacks the need for that hidden work in our lives to see God moves powerfully.

    WHY DOES MATTHEW FOLLOW A STRANGER? The public commitment was preceded by behind-the-scenes work. - Matthew 9:9. - Matthew 4:18-22; John 1:35-42. - Matthew doesn't follow a stranger. He had a previous relationship with Jesus. This public moment was preceded by behind-the-scenes things. - The ...read more

    "Do You Wanna Get Well?

    Contributed by David Henderson on Aug 28, 2018

     | 13,740 views

    In this message we look at a question that on the surface is quite odd. I mean if you had been lame for 38 years and someone asked you if you wanted to be well, would that be a difficult question? Perhaps it is harder than we first realize.

    “Do you want to be well? John 5:1-17 In our recent study in Nehemiah I showed you this picture of what the wall looked like that Nehemiah and the builders constructed around Jerusalem. This picture shows 10 gates that were used to gain entrance to the city. Each gate had a specific ...read more

    There are time in our lives where we've all been pushed to that breaking point! The point where we've tried everything, but nothing seems to be working out...

     | 1,132 views

    Why did Judas betray Jesus with a kiss? In that day, a kiss was a way of greeting. Even in some other cultures around the world, kissing is still a way of social greeting.

    A FAULTY MOTIVE WITH A KISS Text: Matthew 26:47 - 56 Matthew 26:47-56  While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived; with him was a large crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people.  (48)  Now the betrayer had given them a ...read more
