    God’s work cannot be seen by those who are proud of their spiritual sight.

    Scripture Introduction Jesus’ miracles are “parabolic sermons” — they teach by acting out truth. This is especially the case with the seven “signs” John records, the sixth of which we study this morning, a miracle demonstrating the process of salvation. God enters the world, but the world in its ...read more

    Everything that Superman aspires to be in imaginary tales, Jesus is in reality—and so much more. The story of Superman is really a parable for the life of Jesus. This is part of a youth series called: Jesus Is My Superhero!

    The Last Son of Krypton Scott Bayles, pastor First Christian Church, Rosiclare You know the story. Everyone who hears it can never forget.

    Why Was Christ A Carpenter?

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 6, 2007
    based on 11 ratings
     | 6,344 views

    It was not by chance or mere coincidence that Christ was raised in the environment of a carpenter’s shop.

    In Mark 6:3 we read, "Is not this the carpenter?" I believe nothing was left to chance in the life of our Lord. Every day’s experience had been foreseen and planned in the counsels of deity before the Incarnation took place. There were no surprises for Him. He was never caught unaware. He knew the ...read more

    Playing with Fire By Pastor Jim May II Kings 1:1-18 “Held by Jehovah”, that was his name as translated from Hebrew to English, “Held by Jehovah”. Now that sounds like a pretty good name to have provided you live up to your name. But the king in our message tonight did not live up to his name, ...read more

    "IF" is an intricate and indispensable part of life. Sometimes God must put us in an "iffy" situation so we can learn to pray!

    Jesus didn’t need the 5 loaves and 2 fish to feed the multitude. So, why did He tell His disciples to feed the 5000 with food they didn’t have?

    God has chosen to limit much of His activity upon the earth to the prayers of His people, to whom He has consigned dominion over the earth.

    Living the Supernatural Life – Part Two: God’s Plan Last week we introduced the concept that many of us are living far below our potential (kind of like a eagle living with turkeys) when it comes to the supernatural life.
