    The Epiphany Of The Lord- Be A Star

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 19, 2024
     | 620 views

    “You will see his glory within you… shone anew upon the eyes of our mind!”

    The idea of "be a star" during Epiphany is a way to reflect on the story of the Magi, or the three wise men, following a star to find baby Jesus. To be a star is not the same thing as being called a star. E.g., The leader of the patriots in the second Jewish War, A.D. 130-135, Bar Kosba, ...read more

    Jesus As He Now Is: The Glorified Christ Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 15, 2010
     | 5,229 views

    When we talk about Christ being exalted at the Father's right hand, most of us have a pretty feeble picture in our minds; yet we do not serve a tired and shy Messiah who is but a man; we serve the Son of Man Who is the Son of God.

    Jesus As He NOW Is: The Glorified Christ (Revelation 1:12-16) 1. What is your Jesus like? 2. Weak Jesus or strong Jesus? Is He kind or nice, or both? Does He get angry? Is He a victim to our choices? Is He both man and God, or something less? 3. If you saw His face as it now is, would you ...read more

    Gazing On The Radiance Of Jesus

    Contributed by Efren V. Narido on Apr 14, 2025
     | 1,249 views

    Why do we need to fix our mind’s eyes on His Divine Radiance, especially during this holy week? Or, what can we experience, if we gaze on the Excellence of His qualities?

    “Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of ...read more

    Why Are You Here? Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 30, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,164 views

    Why was Esther in a King's palace? Was it because God put her there for a task He had in mind? And why Christians here at church? Are we here because of a task God has in mind for us?

    The story of Esther has fascinated people for centuries. It’s the story of a beautiful Jewish girl named Esther, and of the King of Persia named Xerxes (Ahasuerus) who fell in love with her and made her his queen. But from that point on… the story gets complicated. King Xerxes has a trusted ...read more

    The invitation is still open but still being ignored by many who think they’re going anyway.

    Are you going to the party? Luke 14:15-24 I heard about a rabbit and a snake meeting in the forest. The rabbit said, "We don’t know how we look. Why don’t we describe each other to the other so we’ll know how we look?" The snake said, "Good idea. You’ve got a pink nose, ...read more

    Hell Has A Big Mouth

    based on 9 ratings
     | 9,139 views

    Hell has enlarged itself. Poor original planning or simply overwelming volume of sin? However the wider Hell opens its mouth, the more wider Victory opens its mouth. Eventually death, the grave and hell will be swallowed up in Victory.
