    Who is Jesus to you? Is He just a moral teacher? Is He just a storybook character? Throughout John chapter 5, Jesus claimed to be God. And in today’s passage, He brings four witnesses to the stand to corroborate His testimony.

    How many of you have ever served on a jury before? I haven’t. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but never have been able to. I’ve been summoned before—several times.

    Every word in the Bible is for us to learn from; and we learn something from the words or actions of every character in it; so what are we to learn from David's psalms or prayers which invoke God's curses on his enemies

    there are times in our life that conflicts and troubles arise. And how we deal with those conflicts and troubles reveals more about our characters than we want to admit. What we are when the pressure is on is what we really are.

    Theme: When The Pressure Is On, What? Text: Genesis 13: 5-13 Introduction A. Last Sunday we learned that Abraham went up out of Egypt to Canaan.

     | 1,209 views

    As Law Breakers, God’s charge against sinful humanity is seen through: 1) The Character (Romans 3:10–12), 2) The Conversation (Romans 3:13–14), and 3) The Conduct (Romans 3:15–17) of the accused.

    Romans 3:9-17. What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; 10 as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; 11 no one understands; no one seeks for God. 12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; ...read more

    Being a genuine disciple of Christ is a very tall order. We are to live in such a way that reflects His character and grace. How is that possible? We must pattern our lives after Christ. We are challenged to imitate the Lord we serve.

    The Challenge through Discipleship 2 Timothy 1: 12-14 As we consider discipleship, and our responsibility to follow Christ while investing in others, the Lord Himself stands as the great example.
