Post-Resurrection

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Apr 8, 2021

This message demonstrates the importance of understanding why Jesus died and rose from the dead and why our joy should not be limited to just one "Easter Sunday" celebration.

Post-Resurrection Scripture: Luke 24:44-53; Isaiah 53; Romans 10:17 The title of my message this morning is “Post-Resurrection.” If you are familiar with the word “post” you know that it has several meanings. It could refer to a piece of wood or metal fixed in the ground in an upright ...read more

The Purpose Of The Church

The purpose of the church is to be the catalyst that will ignite change in the sinner through and with the unadulterated word of God convicting sinners of their sin, convincing them that God loves them and died for their sins, and converting them.

Baptism Of The Lord

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 12, 2019

I once heard a preacher who said something like, “My old man has died with Christ in baptism but sometimes the devil does CPR and manages to resuscitate him.”

Jesus Faced Judgment In Front Of Pontius Pilate Series

Contributed by Robert Irvine on Jul 24, 2024

Jesus was judged by Pilate and was taken away and died on the cross at Golgotha. Pilate knew that Jesus was innocent yet he substituted the innocent man, Jesus, for the guilty robber and murderer, Barabbas.

The prophet Isaiah wrote that the suffering servant would suffer judgment. In the previous sermonm, we saw how Jesus was silent when confronted by Pontius Pilate at his illegal trial. I don’t want to repeat what has been said, but suffice it to say Jesus was judged by Pilate and was taken away and ...read more
