    Mary and Martha told Jesus it's over, it's too late for Lazarus. But Jesus basically said, it's never too late if you can believe.

    John 11:1-6 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. [2] (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

     | 4,329 views

    Decaffeinated Christianity, like decaffeinated coffee, won't wake you up, it won't perk you up, it won't keep you up and it won't get you up; it's just there. It looks right, smells right, almost tastes right -- but NO POWER!

    DECAFFEINATED CHRISTIANITY Rev. 3:1 INTRODUCTION A. COFFEE HUMOR 1. How did the hipster burn their mouth? They drank their coffee before it was cool. 2. Why did the barista get fired?

    The Roman soldiers who crucified Jesus were witnesses to the greatest event in human history but didn't know it. If we're not careful, the same thing can happen to us and we will never realize the love of Jesus!

    UNMOVED BY THE CROSS? John 19:23-24 INTRODUCTION A. OPENING STORY 1. Two men had indulged in every sinful activity imaginable while away on a business trip together. In the morning, as they were making their way to the airport, one man challenged the other. He said, “I dare you to go over to ...read more

    Risk taking is an essential ingredient in ministry for the Kingdom of God. Most Bible heroes were risk takers. Jesus was a risk taker too.

    Opening illustration: Christian villagers in a rural district of India’s Maharashtra state have been told that one church will be closed down every week because they have been “destroying” local tradition and culture by “luring” others to convert to Christianity.

    This message looks at Jeremiah's imagery of God as the Potter. If we fail to submit to the Potter and remain in His hands, then the Lord will stop shaping us and let us alone. But when He lets us alone, we are in a very fragile state!

    There is a well-known hymn entitled, “Have Thine Own Way.” The first line of this hymn says, “Have Thine own way, Lord! . . . Thou art the potter, I am the clay! Mold me and make me after Thy will, while I am waiting, yielded and still.”(1) When Adelaide Pollard wrote the words to this hymn she ...read more

    What must the angels have thought when the Lord they loved -- Jesus -- was announced as going down to be born as a lowly human? How must it have affected them when He was crucified?

    Sermon # 4 - Seek To Please God Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,168 views

    Often we miss out on God’s call for our lives when we disobey the Lord or choose to please people over God. As a church may we not shun our responsibility to proclaim Christ, but stand up boldly to proclaim Christ and the good news of the Gospel.

    We read in Jonah 1:4, “Then the LORD sent a great wind over the sea, and a severe storm broke out. It seemed as if the ship were about to break up.” (ISV) As we continue these studies on the life of Jonah, we will be pleasantly surprised to know that there is a lot that we as a church can learn ...read more
