     | 20,690 views

    Jesus interrupted a funeral procession to bring life from death. Jesus deals with our universal human problem of sin and death once and for all at the cross. We no longer have to fear death. For the believer, it's but a passing from this world to the next

    As you can see this morning we are passionate about being a gateway for the gospel to goto the nations. I want to see heaven populated with people from all nations because of what we have been partnering with the Spirit in here! Apostle Paul had a similar passion and he had a problem in Corinth ...read more

    Authority In The Synagogue Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 1, 2017
     | 12,363 views

    Jesus possesses great wisdom and authority regarding the Word, and He also possesses authority over all creation, humanity, and Satan himself. We face nothing our Lord cannot handle. His power and authority are unmatched and unlimited.

    Authority in the Synagogue Mark 1: 21-28 As we continue moving through the Gospel of Mark, bear in mind that he is writing primarily to a Roman audience, seeking to portray Jesus as the Servant of Men. It is a dialogue that moves rapidly from one event to the next. The fast pace, with which Mark ...read more

    The Concern About Fasting Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 12, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,071 views

    What began as a confrontation regarding the practice of fasting, turned into a lesson regarding the doctrines of salvation. Christ is the only means of salvation. We must come to Him by grace, through faith, in Christ alone.

    The Concern about Fasting Mark 2: 18-22 Our text today deals with a passage that is often misunderstood, and even overlooked by many. Some argue the passage is confusing, and they fail to see the great significance it reveals. Actually Jesus revealed great doctrinal truth in this conversation with ...read more

     | 9,581 views

    The opposition Jesus faced continued as He sought to reveal Himself as the Christ. Sadly they failed to see Him for who He really was. Many today deny and oppose the Gospel, but we must remain committed to share!

    Hated for Healing Mark 3: 1-6 Our text today, once again finds Jesus in the synagogue on the Sabbath. While there He performed a great miracle. Unfortunately, this marvelous act of grace is overshadowed by the suspicion and animosity of the Pharisees. Our studies in chapter two revealed the ...read more

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Apr 6, 2015
     | 6,487 views

    People dismiss Jesus today for the same reasons the soldiers dismissed Him on that first Easter weekend.

    I wonder what Jesus thought when He looked down at His bloody feet nailed to the cross. By then His vision would have been blurred, not just from the excruciating pain, but from the blood and sweat that He was powerless to wipe away from His eyes. In that painful, lonely, and desperate moment of ...read more
