Seeing Jesus

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 30, 2008

In worship, we hear and experience Christ. John’s experience reminded us of Christ’s omnipresence, omniscience and omnipotence.

Max Lucado wrote this illustration in his book When Christ Comes. Augustine once posed the following experience. Imagine God saying to you, “I will make a deal with you if you wish. I’ll give you anything and everything you ask: pleasure, power, honour, wealth, freedom, even peace of mind and a ...read more

The Triumphal Entry Into Jerusalem Series

Contributed by Bobby Stults on Aug 27, 2010

Jesus encountered many people on His way to Jerusalem for the sin of the world, in our study tonight we will see Him viewed as the coming King, but not from a godly perspective, but from the perspective of Jewish teaching about Messiah

Read Luke 19:28-40… if you read chapter 18 and the 1st part of 19 you will get more of the ‘flavor’ of this passage. But let me set the stage (so to speak): v.28-40 detail Jesus’ continuing journey toward Jerusalem. These verses take place sometime after Jericho events such ...read more

Davids Big Flaw

Contributed by Art Campbell on Sep 5, 2007

David was a successful man - a warrior, poet and king. Yet he had one major flaw that was almost his undoing - his children. This message contrasts David’s great success with his great heartache.

One of my favourite Bible heroes is King David. I’m sure you’re all familiar with the story of David and Goliath, the boy who bested a giant. But there’s a lot more to David’s life than this story. In many ways he’s the kind of man that many of us guys would like to be. David was marked out for ...read more
