    Jesus Christ

    Because Jesus understands our suffering, we do not suffer alone.

    INTRODUCTION If I were writing the Bible, I probably would have left this passage out. After all, we have here not the image of the powerful Messiah that I would like to show off, but the figure of fear and frailty. For centuries we have recognized that Jesus was all God and all man, but here it ...read more

    A Palm Sunday message that relates the fact as a Christian we would rather think of the cute and safe vision of a babe in the manger rather then the gruesome and brutal death that Jesus suffered.

    Getting Real With Your Friends Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 2, 2007

    Jesus understands us as we are, but loves us into what we may become. With Peter, he loved the Type A person; with James, the passive-aggressive; with John, the immature -- all into effectiveness. Montgomery Hills Baptist Church

    History is full of stories of betrayal. Those who look like friends sometimes turn on you. Some of us have friends who would sell us for even less than Judas’ thirty pieces of silver if they could! Personally, I wish I could get at least ten cents on the dollar for everything I have loaned to ...read more
