     | 499 views

    Christ did His part by taking up His cross and shedding His blood for the entire world so that we are redeemed and have eternity with Christ alone. How will you respond to Him today?

    Hosea charged Israel with being “a cake not turned” or “half-baked". They were half-hearted towards God. Like Israel, many of today’s professed believers have followed the same pattern of incomplete discipleship.

    1 Half-Baked Hosea 7:8-10 “Ephraim is a cake not turned.” — Hosea 7:8 Hosea, a prophet to the house of Israel during the reign of Jeroboam II, used several colorful admonitions to bring to Israel’s attention the state of their relationship with God. In his comparison he ...read more

    From Death To Life Series

     | 13,022 views

    There's a repetitive theme in Scripture: heroes and heroines of the Bible seemingly all go through the process of being given a vision by God, followed by the death of that vision, and ultimately the rebirth of that vision. How did that pattern apply to Jesus and how does it apply to us?

    OPEN: (We showed the image of a fallen tree (https://imgur.com/iP32qff) I saw this picture on the internet about a month ago and it took me a while to realize what I was looking at. Obviously the tree has been uprooted and it’s lying on the ground with its dead limbs extending along the ground. But ...read more

    Falling in love with the world is a fatal attraction for believers.

    Fatal Attraction 1 John 2:15-17 Several years ago there was a movie entitled "Fatal Attraction" in which a man finds himself attracted to another woman.

    The world calls it foolishness. The preaching of the Gospel is the power of God.

    It is a foolish thing to preach a sermon. When you stand up and tell people that they are lost and that their only hope of salvation rests in the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus that in the world’s way of thinking is foolishness. Not that standing before people and talking is foolishness. ...read more
